How can I find out who has been sending me anonymous text messages?

I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to find out who the person is that has been sending me text messages and wont tell me who they are. The messages aren't abusive or threatening it's just annoying. The persons number shows up on the text

Ring them from someone else's phone
Text them back and ask who it is.
call it and say who is this or say i keep geting text messages from u but i dont know u
At lease you have the persons number, id phone it, and see! Its more or less someone you know, or who wants to know you, for sure!!!!!!!.xxx
Text them back the same text message they just sent you. They will soon realise how annoying it is and stop!
ring the number unless it's a 090 one
that was happening to me too!
but it was a phone call it was restricted. but cant u just text them back and find out or call them with *89 or *69 ?
give me the number & I will call them & find out for you for a small fee.xx
You can only find out if you know someone who's a bit dodgy and works for the Police or the phone company.

I'd call them from another line - or withhold your number.
Or check with your mates - someone's bound to have the number stored in their phone.

Good luck finding your mystery texter.
i would text who r u stalker
Call their number from a different phone.. ask who it is. Or else listen to their answering machine.
If you call from your phone they probably won't answer.
It's quite difficult if not impossible to find this information. Reverse telephone online doesn't include cell phones. And the sites that last year you could use to pay to find out such information have been closed down.

You should report it to the cell phone provider service and find out what options they have. Some providers will block the number for a small fee.
try ringing the number..or get a new number and only give it to people who you want to have it.
fill in as many direct mailing questionnaires with thier mobile number,. It won't stop them texting you but you might feel better.

The police could trace the phone via the bills/payg top-ups but they would need a court order.
If it's spam you should be able to stop it by replying with the word STOP.
Hi there.

Actually, many wireless services providers can block numbers from sending text messages to you. I recommend you call customer service for your company and ask if they support that feature.

Hope this helps!
