Hi all,
Is there anyone clued up on mobiles who can help...
Yesterday I was trying to contact my ex about an ongoing issue. I've been told by others that he has blocked my number.
When I called him it rang once and then I was put through to voicemail.
But when I out 141 in front of his number, it rang a number of times and he answered, which made me think that the 141 got around the blocking thing.
Later after a few glasses of wine I sent him a nasty text, still with 141 in front of his number. I now regret sending it. I've been told you can't withold your number from texts, so will my text have been blocked? There's nothing to suggest it has, no 'failed' notification or anything.
Any help appreciated!

What phone do you have? Have you checked the delivery reports.
My advice, delete his number and leave him alone
That's what happened with that text, so it looks just like a text that has sent.
How do you check delivery reports? I don't have them switched on.
Edit: When I send a text to myself with 141 is comes up as failed...but that didn't come up in the message to my ex.
I'll never feel lonely again.
Wait until I'm out next with someone - I'll really impress them.
Beep! "Oh no, not another text!" :cool:
I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. Whether he received it or not is irrelevant, he clearly wants to move on and so should you, so as others have said, delete his number.
Press and hold the message for 3-4 seconds, select 'view details' it will display whether the message was received, if it was it will say the time it was received
Thanks...it says Sent: (date and time)and Delivery report: Not requested.
Ah well, guess I'll never know.
That's not what I asked for advice on though. Nobody here knows the circumstances or reasons why I was trying to contact him, so it's not for anyone to say whether I should move on or not. I just want to know whether the message was sent or not.
And you know that I'm a nutcase how? The reason I'm trying to contact him is because he owes me quite a lot of money, which is also why he has blocked me.
Did you have an agreement as to how and when to pay it back? How much per week or month?
Have you evidence he started paying it back?
If you have no evidence, forget about it and move on.

This is the legal way to do it, not by harassment
That is part of the advice though. You won't know one way or the other if it categorically did go through, so just forget about it and move on.
Agree with this. If you have something in written, stop contacting him directly and seek legal advice.
