Blocking Calls When you block calls from everyone EXCEPT your contact list, are you also blocking text messages from outside callers? Thanks!

Unknown callers should have a number that appears with no name - these can be blocked post call or in the Settings/Phone/Blocked Callers section. Unknown calls with no number can only be blocked from the carrier side - you would have to contact your provider.

Blocking incoming calls on your Sony Ericsson phone is pretty simple. You can go to your service provider's website and follow the instructions they have for call blocking. They will usually tell you how to block specific calls or all incoming calls. You will most likely find a way to even block incoming text messages. This is very convenient if you don't won't to be bothered, but you don't want to miss a possibly important call either. Luckily, with a Sony Ericsson, you don't even have to go to your service provider's Web site to block incoming calls. You can do it through your phone's menu.

1. • 1 Flip open your cell phone and go to the phone's menu.
     
   • 2 Select "Settings" and scroll down to "Calls."
     
   • 3 Select "Manage Calls" and then choose "Accept Calls."
     
   • 4 Choose to accept "All Calls," "Calls from a list" or "None." If you choose to accept calls from a list, you will have to create your list of accepted callers. This is easy. You will just scroll through your contacts and select numbers you want to accept.
     

You can't block incoming unknown calls, but if you don't accept the call, you will not pay for it.

Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can save phone numbers to the call block list. When a call comes in, the phone compares the received phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with Call Blocked and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject tone.)

The call block list holds 20 entries, and all stations share the same list. You can add entries through the Call Blocking menu, by selecting Add Call Block in the CID menu, or by blocking incoming calls. (Only one station can edit the call block list at a time.)

Blocking incoming calls

1. When the phone rings, wait until the display shows the Caller ID information (usually after the second ring).
2. If you want to block the call and add this number to the call block list, press Block.
3. When the phone asks you to confirm, press Menu/select or Block. Blocking an incoming call from an "Unknown" or "Private" number is the same as selecting Unknown Number or Private Number from the Call Blocking menu.

Call Blocking menu options

1. With the phone in standby, open the menu and select Call Blocking.
2. Choose one of these options:

• Create New(Handset only) - Add an entry to your call block list. The phone will prompt you to enter a name & phone number.
• Private Number(Handset only) - Block all calls from numbers reported by CID as "Private." (This does not count as one of the 20 entries.)
• Unknown Number(Handset only) - Block all calls from numbers reported by CID as "Unknown". (This does not count as one of the 20 entries.)

Call block entry options

1. With the phone in standby, open the call block list and find the entry you want.
2. Press Menu/select to open the individual entry menu. Choose one of these options:

• Edit(Handset only) - Edit this entry. The phone will prompt you to edit the name & phone number.
• Delete - Erase this entry from the list & allow calls from this number.

Call that number from a regular phone, if you get the same message there is a problem with the receiving machine.

Handy Blacklist protects your time and peace of mind by keeping undesired calls off your phone. If there is someone you just don’t want to hear from, let Handy Blacklist keep that person off your phone!
2 types of lists with different functions will keep unwanted calls hidden from your eyes. You have one blacklist and one or several Allow lists. Only one list can be activated at the moment.
Blacklist contains numbers you want to be blocked. You can add numbers from recent calls, contact list or just by typing them. If you reject a call manually, the software will propose you to add that number to blacklist automatically! Blocking of Private and Unknown calls is also available.
Allow list contains numbers which will be allowed to receive while others will be rejected. In addition, you can choose a "reject" action to return a prewritten text message back to the caller. A notification of the missed calls appearing in a popup note can be set by user as well.

I think you were asking about how to reject incoming calls, but if you were asking about blocking your own caller id there is another way.

Under settings -> Phone -> all calls - > caller ID

here you can set your caller id to be given to everyone, only people in your contacts or no one!
