I would pick the phone up, tell him to stop calling and if he does not, that you will contact the police. Then if he doesn't, contact the police immediately.
I tried the blocking of the number but according to my provider, they can only change my number, not block individual ones. Hopefully you'll have better luck.
Most likely, he's just hoping to get a rise out of you with his sexual comments but isn't any more of a threat than that. But if you really feel he might be, then I'd call or visit your local police station and find out what your options are. I'd ask them about whether they think it's a good idea to call him and give him a warning by phone first.
And FWIW, my cell phone company (Sprint) allows me to block texts from a particular number but not phone calls. So if he's only texting and not calling, you might ask about that option.
I don't know if you've done this but make sure you have been VERY VERY clear that you don't want to see or hear from him again EVER! Don't try and let him down nicely, tell him straight up to leave you alone and not talk to you agian ever. Make sure you have destroyed all hope, that could be what he needs.
I wouldn't respond at all to him. I would contact the police and ask them what the best course of action is in regards to giving him a warning first etc. Since you don't know where he lives but you have his number so the police can pay him a visit and if you are saving all the messages and writing down all the times he's calling or making sure your phone logs all missed calls etc. Then I'd ask them their opinion before you do anything on your own.
If it were me, I'd just change my phone number, I know how much of a pain in the butt it is to do that but I'd rather have the peace of mind of not having this man calling me or text messaging me.
wow, i dont know this story i guess, but this sounds freaky...i honestly probably would have called him by now or had a male friend call (heck even my dad or brother) and tell him off big time. How uncomfortable and irritating that he's sending you messages like that! I'm sorry ): I hope it stops soon.
