Today almost 200 million people in the United States have a cell phone. Some of these are for convenience and just used on a part-time basis. Other people rely on their cell phone to help them in their daily careers. These would include, but not limited too, outside salespeople, service repair people, television reporters, politicians, business people, taxi drivers, teenagers and parents, an on and on the list goes.

So what do you do if you receiving harassing phone calls on your cell phone? What is the best way to handle that? Here are four tips that you can use if you receiving cell phone harassment.

1. First of all you have to determine what is harassment. Generally, from a legal standpoint, the intent of the call is what makes it a harassing. If you are threatened, or feel threatened, in any way this could be a harassing call. It varies from state to state, but even one incident of harassment where you feel threatened, could be enough for you to contact the police.

2. To help stop, the person who is harassing, you should contact and file a police report. From a personal safety standpoint, this makes sense, because the police can be there to help protect you. Because most cell phone companies will not reveal customer information sometimes it is difficult to find out who is harassing you even. The police can be helpful and you can even go as far as hiring a private investigator to find out where the calls are coming from.

3. Today people text message as much as they talk on their cell phone. Teenagers do a lot of text messaging, and this has brought out a new form of harassment known as cyber bullying. This has become a popular form of intimidation. If you feel your teenager is being threatened in any way you can contact the police. You can also disable the text message feature for a number of days and see if that helps stop the bullying.

4. Much like e-mail spam has been outlawed today, text messaging spam is illegal as well. If you are receiving unwanted text messages for any reason you should notify your cell phone carrier. You can also file a report with the Federal Communications Commission.

This is 4 things you can do if you are being harassed by cell phone. It is important that you move quickly and do not just sit back and ignore it.
