Can SMS abuse harassment call the police?

The parties can call the police when they receive abusive text messages.

But evidence needs to be collected for police investigation. It is difficult to obtain evidence, which requires full preparation and the assistance of professional legal personnel. If the victim insults others through the internet, he may apply to the people's court for assistance from the public security organ when he informs the people's court, but it is indeed difficult to prove it.

Punishment for insulting others:

1, insulting others who violate the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment may be detained for less than five days or fined less than five hundred yuan;

2. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may be fined not more than five hundred yuan;

3. Whoever constitutes an insult may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights.

To sum up, once the other party has more than three such harassing text messages, they can report them directly to the local police station. The police station will punish the harasser according to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment.
