IP Telephony - how to find location of an ip address


Expert: Gerry Magill - 9/6/2006

Question
someone text messaged my cell phone thru the nextel website.  nextel said they don't keep track of ip address (the computer the message originated from). What should I do? Yhea, the police was notified.  any suggestions?

Answer
There is not much you can do other than switch SMS off completely. Its much like your mailbox outside. You can not control who sends you something. Unfortunately if you are roaming, then you end up paying for their dumb text message.

I dont know a way around that. Sorry.
