Most carriers offer this service. I know that verizon lets you set the numbers yourself through my verizon, but a quick log on to your online account should present the option to set blocked numbers.

I have a BT 4000 phone that blocks calls, it says my block list is full. Anyone know how to get more space as the scams are still coming.

The BT4000 can block calls from certain call types, e.g. international calls or from specific numbers to
help prevent nuisance calls. You can store up to 10
specific blocked numbers. It has a very limited blocked number space. There is no way to increase blocked number space. Perhaps a newer phone with 300 to 1000 blocked number space.

I want to stop unknown numbers calling my iphone5

Go to recent calls, then info on that call. Use the copy feature on "Unknown Caller". Then go to Contacts, touch + to add a new contact. Use the paste feature for the following: first name, last name, company, phone number. Touch done and you will see an option to block caller. Then in Settings you can go to your Phone, Blocked, and you should see it listed alphabetically with any others you may have. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.6. Good luck

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN DELETE ALL THE CONTACTS IN MY BLOCKED LIST PERMANENTLY FROM MY DEVICE

Your question is a little bit confusing but let me try to understand the goal you wish to achieve: i believe you dont want to receive calls or messages from some numbers in your contact list. If thats the case and you have already added them to the block list then you dont have to delete these numbers. Let them stay in the blocked list and you wont be able to receive any call from these numbers. However of its someone who is stalking you then he or she may use a different number, in that case your best bet is to change your number.

How to block # from the Neon LG phone?

LG Neon cannot block specific numbers. If you have this phone on the AT&T network you can add a feature to your account called "Smart Limits" and block certain numbers from calling you, however if the person calling blocks their number they will still be allowed to call you. Samsung phones have an "Auto Reject" feature that rejects calls from certain people as soon as they call. That is a feature on most Samsung models, so no additional fee.

How do I block a number texting me ?

  • 1 Call you cell phone service provider and tell them that you want to block text messages from a certain number. Your provider will stop all texts coming from that number

  • 2

    Reply to an unwanted text from a company or organization with "unsubscribe." If you're getting SPAM texts, this should make it stop.

  • 3

    Check out the website of your cell phone provider and look for the option of logging into your account. Most companies allow users to set up preferences in regards to their text messaging, including blocking certain numbers.

  • 4

    Change the text message settings on your cell phone. Depending on the model you have, you may be able to block certain numbers just by changing your settings

    How can i block unwanted calls on my nokia 3110 cell phone,the calls are from a vodafone number

    Hi, on the phone you have it is not possible to block any number from calling, it just doesnt have the memory to have that kind of software, the only other option you may have is to call your service provider and ask them if they can direct a call from a certain number direct to your voicemail or see if they can block the number from their end.

    on newer phones it is possible to block any number you like but on your phone its just not possible.

    sorry i couldnt be of more help, but the phone is no capable of doing what you want, a newer phone would, but try calling your service provider and tell them you keep getting nuisance calls off a certain number and then see if they will block the call from their end

    I have a sony k800i phone can you block certain people from phoning you. I know some phones do this

    Yes Sony Ericsson phones do allow this, but the problem is (If I'm not wrong i got a SE phone while back) you can't set to block certain numbers, but you can set that These 10 people can only call me Else send busy tone.
    You can do this by Selecting Settings / Calls / Manage Calls / Accept Calls / Only from list.

    What it will do is if the person from the list calls you your phone will ring, but if some other person calls you, he/she will be sent the busy tone, But the Good thing is your phone not even vibrate, but will Monitor that this certain number tried to call you this much times. And his/her call was missed.

    I Hope you have a clear picture now, what to do.
    And yes, let me also tell you that some service providers, NOT ALL provide their users the utility of Blocking Certain Numbers, you can also confirm it by calling your Service Provider.
