I know this goes off of your question, but...
Why not just block the number?

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Even if that works... now what?
They'll magically start being reasonable and sensible?
Doubt.
Blocking their number would be the first step.
Maybe filing a report both with police and the service provider.
Getting a new number might be something to consider.
Ah yes, of course. Two wrongs certainly add up to a right.
If it really is actually an abusive situation, and not just something she is saying for attention or "victim points" or whatever, then she needs to physically leave to a different location. Living in the same home is a bad idea in that situation. Then, she needs to block the phone number.
Retaliation is never a good idea. You have no idea how he will respond, and depending on your local law, what you're thinking of doing could be illegal. In which case, you could be fined or spend time in jail, while he smiles all the way to the bank. Would your retaliation be worth it then?
No. Security people are fast. If such a tool worked, a security update would have been pushed to address them before they had time to become available to laypeople. Either on the phones themselves or at the service providers.
Lol we are not that fast. That's why phone number spoofing and spam calls are still incredibly rampant
