Artificial limit of 10 numbers for call block.

Why is call block limited to 10 numbers? There are at least that many scammers calling every week. I need to be able to block several thousand numbers. This should be incredibly simple with any modern computing equipment at least since about 1970. There is no reason whatsoever for a limitation of 10 numbers, unless the telephone company is profiting from all of these illegal calls. (I'm sure that's not the case, of course.) There should also be a feature for blocking known scammers. For example, when a scammer calls, I could just enter *XX and that number would be added to the list of known scammers, and be blocked for everyone who has that feature turned on. That number could then be blocked for everyone for a day. That would very quickly stop the numerous telephone scams, as they would only be able to complete one call per day. It would be a simple matter to have a "whitelist" of good numbers that can always ring my phone just in case someone has mistakenly labelled them as a scammer.

Agree - 10 is not enough. There should not be a limit at all.
Just want to say that no limit is impossible. Say they gave us 1 million numbers someone would find they needed more. Better would be they worked with someone like NOMOROBO to filter numbers for all of us and gave us say some number like 100 of personal numbers to filter. Note you must use personal numbers to filter those allowed to annoy us such as politicians during campaign season Note with NOMOROBO you cannot add personal numbers but you can report a new violator to filter.

Why Apple does not provide for call block / blacklist function on iphone?

If Apple frowns upon jailbreaking the iPhone, why not AT THE LEAST endorse and make available third-party application that can provide a decent call block / blacklist function (like the Call Blocker for BlackBerry)?
Can an Apple representative provide feedback pls?
[Most telcos do not provide call-screening as a value-add service. Even if they do, a more cost-effective method is still the better option.]

Have you asked your service provider if they offer any call blocking service? I know here in the USA, AT&T does, although they do charge $4.99/month for the service (it is part of a parental control package that allows control of both numbers that can be blocked from calling you, and numbers that your iPhone can call to).
On-phone black list apps typically work by using caller id info and looking it up against the apps own database of numbers you've entered. So your phone still rings at least once, as the phone needs to allow a brief connection for the app to get the caller id info before disconnecting a number flagged for blocking. There really is no way to truly block calls from the phone itself, you need your service provider to be on board with the idea, so they can dis-allow the call at the switch and truly block it from ever reaching your phone.

Renewing blocks on specific numbers for calls and messages

I need to renew existing blocks on specific numbers that show an expiration date of today (8/1/11) How do I do that? The numbers still show on the lines, but I have no way of verifying that the blocks are still in place or removed. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Cgriff,
The free Call and Message block that we offer lasts 90 days. However, please note that you are able to change this at any time. For example, the block can be removed before the 90 days is up. In your case, you mention that you want to renew the block. Youc an do so by going in and removing, then re-adding the block. This starts a new 90-day block. It is easier tis way, since you can change the information whenever you want. Below are the steps to follow, for your convenience.
Call and Message Blocking can be added/removed online by signing in to My Verizon using your Account Owner user ID and password and doing the following:
1.        Click on “Block Calls & Messages” icon located under “Plan” in the “I Want To” section at the bottom of your home page.
2.        Click on the “Call and Message Blocking” tab (next to Parental Controls.)
3.        Enter up to five 10-digit numbers under the Call and Message Block tab and click "Apply" once completed.
We also offer Usage Controls, which does so much more than Call and Message Blocking. You can find the information for Usage Controls here:

Thank you for your posting and have a good day!

Call Block & Beep free call recording software??

hi there! is there any software for call blocking and BEEP FREE call recording available for Nokia 2730 Classic? suggest me (the website from which free download is available) plz! Thank you!

Hi Srayza,
No, it's not. It stands for "as far as I know". :-)
If you have the same phone which is the Nokia 2730 Classic, please refer to page 24 of the phone's user guide as this provides the information on how you can record a call using the built-in Voice Recorder feature.
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_2730_classic_UG_en.pdf
You can also check the Nokia Store for applications such as this one: http://store.ovi.com/content/352676
Call blocking is possible if you have "selective call acceptance" feature on the phone. Such feature is only available to 2180, 2160i and 2160 phones.
As call blocking is a network service, you may contact your Service Provider to inquire if they have such service.

Automatic call blocking from invalid numbers/Smart Limits for Wireless changes

It would be nice if your call routing system could be set to AUTOMATICALLY prevent calls from invalid phone numbers from being completed. As an example, I have received calls on my cell phone with the following Caller ID numbers in the last few days: 408-189-xxxx728-727-xxxx The first number uses an invalid exchange (189); the second an inactive area code (728). These were both obviously spoofed numbers that spammers/fraudsters are using. While I get many, many more nuisance calls than these examples each week, it would relieve some of the call volume if your system blocks these calls in the first place. I also subscribe to the Smart Limits call blocking service. 30 numbers is NOT enough to cover all of the spam calls I get. Could this be increased to at least 200? I have already used up all 30 slots in my Smart Limits. I also have over 50 numbers programmed into my phone's phonebook that have been flagged as spammers. Since they can either change the numbers they transmit on a regular basis, or there's just so many of them to begin with, 30 numbers is much too low. Would it also be possible to count and record the date and time when calls have last been blocked and have this information posted with the list of my blocked numbers? It would be useful to see how many times that calls from the number have been received and when the last one was blocked. I could then delete that number from my block list and replace it with one that has had more activity.

Hi there
Thank you for posting your valuable feedback on our Smart Limits service!
As with everything we offer, we rely on this feedback to provide services that our customers find useful, and to make existing products even better. I agree that adding an automatic block for such calls would be an awesome option, ad would being able to increase the blocked contact limit and see records of those blocked calls! There may be some technical limitations preventing us from adding these features at this time, but we will certainly pass your comments on to the teams that can make this happen!
Thanks again!

Of course not. Number blocking must be done by your wireless provider.

Anonymous calls, Unknown Callers and 10 number limit on call blocking feature

I have FIOS Digital Voice. I hope that someone can give me information to help me out - because like many others here, right now I am regretting having this and have it unplugged more than plugged in - for a service I am paying for.
My number is unlisted.
In my account I have it checked to reject anonymous calls. However, I am still getting calls that are "unknown callers" and "unavailable" numbers. So, if I have it set to reject these calls why am I still receiving them.
Also, why is there such a low limit of adding blocked phone numbers to your account? It is almost like a part-time weekly job to rotate through all the numbers adding new ones, deleting old ones - and they are able to do this much easier, quicker, and they are getting paid, while I am the one paying for this service - which isn't working.
Can anyone let me know why the unknown callers are still getting through and if there is a way to add more than 10 numbers to the blocked list?
As it is, my home phone is unplugged because it has become a useless payment unless this can be addressed.
Thanks
BTW - Are the web/tech guys aware that when you are signed into your account, if you click on "support" from the top menu for "phone", it takes you to a completely different area and asks you to sign in again - but if you click on the "support from the left menu for "phone" it takes you where you need to go. But the website is a whole other can of worms.

This might help answer your questions.

Call block limit

I am nearing the call blocking limit on my Comcast phone. What is Comcast doing to expand or make limitless this feature. To protect the shrinking landline use i would think Comcast would address the issue of predaroy foreign sammers who laugh at FCC rules.

Yes, I already knew that and in my area I'm nearing the 25 limit. Please bring this issue up at a higher level as millions of Comcast voice customers,if polled, would express the same concern over these malevolent scammers. Thanks for the acknowledgment. I'm a customer same as you....I volunteer my time to help others in these forums.... I added NOMOROBO to my Voice Services which cut out 99% of the known spammers/spoofers... Maybe you might want to take a look at them... www.nomorobo.com It works on Comcast's system.

I am looking for a good Call Blocking App for my iPhone 5...any suggestions??

I am in need of a good call blocking app for iPhone....please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

As Randy Landry1 says, Google for "silent ringtone", download and install on you iPhone as a ringtone.
Now create a contact for the offending phone number. Assign the contact to the silent ringtone and set no vibrate.
When that number calls it will not ring, nor vibrate. It will light up the screen, but if you do not see that, it will not bother you. They could leave voice mail, but that is easily deleted.
And if it is a situation where the are violating the do not call list, you can use the missed call log to report the number to the FTC.
Also, if the calls are abusive or threading, and the leave a voice mail, you something to show the police.

Call block for smartphones

call block widget in future version upgrades for smartphones..

You could try assigning that phone number to a silent ring tone, then you would not hear it ring and it will go to voice mail. Then just delete the message if you want nothing to do with that caller.

Is there a call block function for the iPhone 4S?

No.
Apple has not said.
Don't answer your phone.
