The mobile phone received a threatening text message. Can it be used as evidence to call the police to arrest people?

It can be used as reference evidence to alarm, but it cannot be used as direct evidence, and sufficient evidence is needed.

Article 42 Whoever commits one of the following acts shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may be fined up to five hundred yuan:

(1) writing threatening letters or threatening the personal safety of others by other means;

(3) fabricating facts, falsely accusing and framing others, and attempting to subject others to criminal investigation or public security administration punishment;

(5) sending obscene, insulting, intimidating or other information for many times to interfere with the normal life of others;

(six) voyeurism, sneak shots, eavesdropping, spreading the privacy of others.

Extended data:

Intimidation is to threaten others by harming their rights and interests or the interests of the public, making them feel fear and panic. In many countries, it is a criminal offence whether violence is committed against the other party or not, even if it is only a verbal threat to the victim (the other party), and there is a death threat or injury to the party or his family, company, property rights, etc.

Including death threats, bomb threats, suicide threats, etc. If the intention is to obtain other people's property or benefits in this way, it is called "threatening money".
