    Hi, if you are receiving text messages then I'd assume you have the number. Although its possible to hide numbers from an SMS message its impossible to do it from a phone.
    If you have the number then I guess it is possible to do something, but only if the number is registered. Without a registration for the number I'm not sure what can be done I'm afraid.

    I know some people will say "change your number" but in many cases this isn't a viable option - I know from experience.

    Report it to the garda, they will contact your mobile phone company and get all possible information, you can then persue the matter if you want.

    The sender of the messages may not have registerer their name but if they did any top up via a credit card or other stuff like that they can be traced. Also, keep the messages, show them to the gardas they have sometimes ring the number and have a "word".
