No way to filter incoming calls, right?

Thanks for looking. I did a search and can't find any info.
Well, it may be a while before Apple allows 3rd party apps on the phone so does anyone know if, today, there is a way to filter incoming calls, i.e.,
"Blocked - Unknown" etc.... ?
Thank you again.
Tom

It has been confirmed in other threads to this forum that there is no way to block calls on the 'incoming' side of the equation.
Only blocking capability is when you are doing the calling.
This has been confirmed with AT&T.

Incoming call alert

Is there a way to make incoming calls show as a banner instead of interrupting what I'm doing on the phone? Sometimes I don't want to answer or answer right away, and would rather not reject the call.

Settings>Phone>Call Waiting...If you turn this to "off", the calls will go straight to voicemail.

How to get incoming call number in j2me

hi all,
Is there any way to get incoming call number in j2me???
thanks in advance
mraj

You can't get this number at least till MIDP 2.0 devices.. you only have a interrupt events which call showNodify and hideNotify, pauseApp or start methods. Once can neither know if this interrupt is due to phone call, user switching to menu or sms etc..

How can i lock my iphone in a way that i won't be able to receive any incoming call nor retreive its information?

How can i lock my iphone in a way that i won't be able to receive any incoming call nor retreive its information?

In the phrase " i wanna be able to reveive the call without being able to answer nor see who is calling" what do you mean by able to receive the call but not be able to answer it or see who is calling?
I do not understanhow you can receive the call but not be able to answer or seee who called. If you do not answer it how can you receive it?

Way to disable vibrate for a specific contact's incoming calls only?

My iPhone is not jailbroken, so I am unable to use iBlacklist to black or ignore incoming calls. So instead I've edited the contact in question to have a silent ringtone.
However, in general I prefer to have both ring and vibration on for all incoming calls, since I'm often in loud areas where I can't hear the ringtone.
But the reason that I want to block this particular contact is because it calls me at all sorts of weird hours, thus the vibration wakes me up. So not being able to disable vibration for this contact in addition to the ringtone is a problem for me.
Is there any way that I can not only make the ringtone silent, but also disable vibration for this specific contact - and only this contact? Perhaps some app, or a setting that I'm unaware of?

Check with your carrier. Many have the ability to block calls from certain numbers. Many do have a cost associated with them though.

After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Why did Apple change the incoming caller photo Id to a small picture in a small circle instead of the large full screen picture when calls are received? This is useless. If it isnt cchanged back to the way it was I am done with the iphone. Hello Galaxy

This will be my last iphone if thhis minor software issue is not cleared up. I hate the new caller ID incoming picture. Too small

We are all users like yourself. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple. We cannot know why the photo of the incoming caller was changed. We can only say that it is what it is. If that feature change is enough to make you want to change phones then get the phone that best suits your needs. In the meantime you can send feedback to Apple here:

Is there a way to send incoming 'Blocked' and 'Unknown' calls directly to VM without having the call ring or vibrate? (iPhone 5, iOS 7)

I'm tired of getting calls from sales and /or winning a cruise. How can I automatically send incoming calls that are either 'Blocked' or the number is 'Unknown' directly to Voice Mail. I would like to skip the ring and the vibrate (I do have a silent ringer tong tone that I can use, but it only works if the ANI shows a number). Thanks.

Handling incoming caller ID from legacy PBX

Hello,
At my company we're currently in the process of running Lync 2010 EV through a POC. Everything is working great at the moment except for incoming caller ID from the legacy PBX. When a call comes into Lync from the legacy PBX (either from a desk phone or
from outside the company), the legacy PBX replaces the actual 'from' number with the company's main number. Apparently this is due to the legacy PBX being old and masking the outbound caller ID information at a global level. (So basically ANY call that goes
outbound from the legacy PBX has the caller ID masked with the main number, no way to make exclusions. This has been verified by the vendor that services the legacy PBX.)
The problem this introduces on the Lync client is that in the address book everyone has the company's main number as their phone number, except with an extension at the end. So when a call comes in from the legacy PBX the Lync client quite literally randomly
picks someone from the address book and says the call is coming from the randomly picked person.
So far in my attempts to fix this, I've tried creating a contact in AD with a phone number of just the main number. This did not change anything from the Lync clients perspective, however when I miss a call that was sent from the legacy PBX, Outlook now
indicates that the missed call is from the contact object with the main number instead of saying I missed a call from some random person from the address book.
I've also looked into seeing if a MSPL script could intercept incoming audio requests and change the From parameter to something else if the From value was the main number. So far I haven't seen any examples of this, nor do I have a test environment to test
MSPL scripts in yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what can be done for the POC we're trying to do? Obviously if (more like 'when' really...) we decide to move everything over to Lync EV and pull the plug on the legacy PBX this won't be an issue, but right now I can't
even move forward with doing a POC outside of my team until I figure out something to do with the inbound caller ID.
Thanks,
Cody

How are you connected to the legacy PBX? It might be easier to put a modification in a gateway if you're using one.
Also, why Lync 2010 instead of 2013?
What do you have set for the lineURIs of the users? Is it the main number with extensions or a DID?

Incoming calls adjust computer volume unwarranted

A few times in the past I've tried to use "supported devices" with my Mac and newest version of Lync via USB. This didn't work since you still needed to register the devices independently through the device itself (Polycom CX600, Snom 821, etc.)
instead of through Lync like you can with the PC version... (that's another sad story of Microsoft's software claims!)
To get to the root of this issue, now that I no longer use any USB connected devices with Lync, I cannot get the software to STOP adjusting my system's audio levels upon incoming calls. I currently use a standalone phone device for phone calls. The software
still shows a "Custom Device" attached and the only selection under "Audio Device Settings" and there's no way to de-select it or turn it off.
Any ideas?

Are you running Skype by chance? It has a similar behavior.

Incoming calls - phone not ringing

Hi All,
My landline phone doesn't ring when there is an incoming call. If I test it with my mobile, I can pick it up and the call connects. Outbound calls are also fine. This makes me think it's the ringer signal which isn't getting through.
I have tried the test plug in the main line box (main socket) with an old corded phone which I know works fine elsewhere. I still get no ringing. I have done this with everything else in the flat dis-connected.
Does this mean the fault lies in the main line box and is therefore BT's issue to fix? If so will I be charged for a call-out? I'd like to work those out before getting an engineer out!
Many thanks,
David

Yes I tried putting the filter in the test socket and still no joy.
So it sounds like a BT problem I'll have to get an engineer out for? Will I be expected to pay for that?
Thanks!
Have you tried it without the filter? in case the filter is at fault.
