    Just wondering does anyone know the legality for diverting prank calls to garda stations? Someone told me before that they used to do it, but i'm just wondering what're the laws behind it

    With O2 isn't it just texts they allow you to block?

    I really wouldn't suggest diverting your calls to Garda stations. While people don't (or shouldn't) call them (Garda Stations) in an emergency you're wasting time of there's better spent dealing with more serious issues. Pop down your local Garda station and report it. They'll take a statement, do up a report, and may or may not follow it up. Do the same with your network.

    Ye, or picture messages.

    Filling a report is the best idea.
