Doubtful. They'll probably say that OP chose to repeatedly text this person, and should have known that it was international and there would be charges. If there was a mistake on their end, that'd be different, but this is pretty much OP's own fault. If you don't have free texting on your plan, you need to pay attention to who you text and how much, or else this will happen. Common sense.

26, You'd be surprised. If it was harassment, I think it would be a legitimate reason to text back. My cell company worked with me when somehow I used 2 GB in data, suspiciously in 3 days. But then again, I was about to get a new phone for Christmas. They bumped me up to 5 GB and I got a bill credit for $50. It's a lot of how you approach them and have a good standing with them.

everyone that is stalked knows about it at aomw point.

#13 Isn't that the first thing you should tell someone who is giving you unwanted attention? Ignoring it is an option I suppose, but then some people might assume that you're just shy and carry on.

You're so smart. I totally care whether people think I'm shy or not. It definitely defines my whole life.

you kind of negate your comment by jumping on a simple comment that isnt aimed at you.

This is driving me nuts! To everyone saying this: It is possible to move to another country without changing your phone number! Maybe it doesn't happen often, but you can't just assume that the stalker is not in OP's country.

You're right #24, I went on google to find an answer to my own question above and found out that if I bring my UK phone to the US with me and use it, I don't have to pay to receive text messages, the sender has to pay that charge because the phone is still treated as being international.

*Two "finally's" in one sentence? I just started my first cup of coffee -- sorry.

Thanks for the snacks perdix. They were tasty!

She can respond to stalking however she chooses. He is the one in the wrong I also do not think actually failing to tell him to leave her alone would have helped either
