A no-contact order means the court has forbidden one person to communicate with another. And this includes telephone contact.  It also includes written messages, voice-mail, text messages, e-mails, and instant-messenger sessions.  Additionally, it also includes such communications to the victim from friends or family of the offender if speaking on the offender's behalf.  Right now, the court needs to be made aware of this contact so that it can take the proper steps to remedy the situation.
