You do on my version of WhatsApp.** Whether it is possible to send
someone a
message on WhatsApp without letting them know your phone number and
discovering theirs I really don't know.* It is certainly possible that
if they
initiated the "chat" and you never replied they might not know your phone
number - you'd have to read the small print.

I was thinking that....but was just wondering if they can still send me
a normal text....and If I block the number on the callphone as well does
this stop texts as well ?

so again...if I block somebody on my self phone do I still get texts
from them?....stuff it I will go and try it....
NHS T&T avoidance then
