i really am dumb when it comes to technology, my greatest enemy the phone. Im really worried, because some random person keeps ringing everyday on loads of different numbers, i never answer and i have installed an app on my phone to block these numbers, but new ones keep ringing random times in the day and harrassing me with these spam calls.
i dont know who this is but im really worried and i keep getting texts that are spam. im on contract and worried that i might get hacked or my phone bill will be loads of money due to these spam texts. please help any advice will be much appreciated :(

be careful where you put your phone number!
just ignore the texts, nothing bad will happen. what sort of spam calls and texts are they? how do you know its spam if you dont answer?

if its really an issue maybe talk to your provider and see if you can change your number

Contact your service provider and lodge a complaint.
Phone harassment is a serious thing these days.

If you are threatened, call the cops.

Or, go and get yourself a new number.

Is there an option in your app to block all unknown and private numbers? I use Blacklist on my Android phone and it has that option.

You probably don't even have to go to the store. Calling customer service for you network/operator should be enough.
