I don't have kids your kid's age, but I have nieces. They do have cell phones but pretty much use them to call/text the people in the family and close friends. Otherwise, they are supposed to notify their parents when some "random" person contacts them. Teach your daughter to tell you "weird" communication she receives, especially if the other person asks to keep it secret (it could be her former aunt-in-law or it could be an unknown child predator). Stranger Danger. Heck, I'm an adult and when someone calls that it's not already on my address book, I hesitate to answer.
Do you know why is she so insistent on being your friend or reaching to your daughter? May need to confront her and sort things out (if that's even possible).
Change your daughter's number immediately. Have only mom,dad, close friends to note the new number. If you don't want to change her number, some cell phone carriers will allow you to go on the website and block that number (so your phone doesn't even ring). Even if restraining order is expired, I would report to authorities as follow up. No business for a non-family adult to be calling your daughter.
I know this is nowhere close to what you are experiencing, but several years ago, we would get insistent calls from some guy (telemarketer), every night at the same time. The few times we would pick up the phone to see what he wanted, he would start talking, talking and we couldn't stop him. I called my local police department (non-emergency) and asked if there was anything I could do to stop this person from calling. The officer took the note, called the guy and have him a warning. Never heard back from the caller again!
Good luck and I hope this doesn't escalate to more grief for you or your family.
