tracked to a geographic location and internet provider. If the Internet Provider assigns ip addresses, then it can be traced. I'm sure there are programs out there that can alter these. Some interesting reading on this can be found here.

As for the information you provided, if it is a serious threat, contact you local police department and bring it to their attention. They then contact Verizon and possibly get the goods on this person.
Do NOT take matters into your own hands.

So at some point in your life im sure everyone has gotten a threatoning call, text message, email, or voicemail of some sort. I guess my turn has arrived, which brings me to my main quesiton. Does anyone know if text messaging through Verizon Wireless, sent from their website (online) can be tracked to a specific computer. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
