Block unknown caller

I'm getting obnoxious calls from an "unknown caller" - I want to:
1. Block ALL "unknown" callers or
2. Assign a silent ring tone to all unknown caller
How can I do this? Surely, there must be a way.

Receiving calls from "Unknown" 6-7 times daily...3-4 weeks in length. Android and Samsung do block Unknown calls.

Wish to block "Unknown" calls. Android and Samsung recognize this problem and allow blocks. iOS does not.

Cant block unknown call

How do we block unknown callers on new iphone 5s. ?

I believe there is a solution wherein only calls from your known contacts will ring on your phone and all other calls, including unknown callers, will be redirected to your voicemail.
Use your Do Not Disturb feature to only allow calls from known contacts. Other calls will be immediately directed to your voicemail.
Settings
Do Not Disturb
Select Manual
Select "Allow Calls From All Contacts"
Remeber to check your voicemail and add new contacts as appropriate.

Block Unknown Call / SMS

Everything that I have read suggests the you cannot block individual 'spam' calls or text .. is this is the case, it's not acceptable.
I have a Blackberry Z30 .. there MUST be a way to block individual calls or text. You can on other makes of phones so why not a Blackerry Z30. You can block all calls, but that's a little overkill.
I have been a loyal user of Blackberry phones over the past 6 years, if this cannot be resolved soon, when my current contract is up, I will be switching to another make ..
Please advise ..
Thanks

Waves of blocked and unknown calls

The continued waves of blocked and unknown call has me never picking up my phone. I have no blocks on my account, btw. I have been missing important calls as I have to keep the phone on vibe. I cannot find a way to block these calls. I hope I'm missing something on the phone or account that can help. Thanks.

Hi dcbill,
I feel your pain; I don't like unsolicited/blocked calls either. While there is no way to keep companies or people from calling your number you can block incoming calls from restricted/blocked/unknown calls with Usage Controls. See details online http://goo.gl/TU18j at your convenience.

Using *77 to set 'anonymous' or 'unknown' call blocking is not working

Per instructions from Verizon, I used *77 to turn on anonymous call blocking last night. I dialed *77, and got a voice telling me that I have enabled anonymous call blocking.
However, it's NOT working. When I call home from my office, it shows up in caller ID as "unavailable"; shouldn't a call that is identified as 'unavailable' be blocked with this service? Does anyone understand why this would be the case? Are all 'unavailable calls' the same?

Unavavailable/unknown calls and anonymous/private calls are two different things. Anonymous calls are calls from someone who has chosen to block their telephone number from being displayed on your caller ID screen. This means the caller has dialed *67 before dialing your phone number (or they have what is called line blocking where all their outgoing caller id info is automatically blocked without them having to dial *67 before every call). *77 is used to block anonymous/private calls and force the caller to allow their caller id info to come through to your phone in order for the call to complete.
Unavailable/unknown calls are calls in which no caller id information has been sent. These are generally from collection agencies or telemarketers. *77 will not block these calls in any way. The only services which will block or screen these calls are Call Intercept or Do Not Disturb.

Call filter no longer blocking "Unknown" callers a...

The feature that blocks withheld numbers was blocking "Unknown" callers on GDR2. However, it does not block them in GDR3.
I believe these are international calls.

Yes, it's turned on.
When you say it's ok on yours, how do you know? Are you getting the same type of calls as I show in my screenshot?

Thank you for messaging us, mandmc. Being able to customize and block unwanted callers is important. In order to be able to block unknown numbers, there is a service feature that we offer through Family Base that allows you to block all unknown callers: http://vz.to/1sSnjqp
You can also search for apps that can help with this, but be sure to check reviews to make sure they do work correctly.

How to block UNKNOWN or RESTRICTED calls?

How to block UNKNOWN or RESTRICTED calls on my IPhone 4s?

Hi austill87,
No one likes those annoying restricted calls. Let me enlighten you on how to stop those calls once and for all. By adding the Usage Control feature on your line, you will be given the capability of blocking restricted, unknown or blocked numbers. Here is how you can add the feature www.verizonwireless.com/usagecontrols

HT201229 If someone adds the unknown call code, will the message go through to someone who has blocked the caller?

I'm concerned as to whether or not this affects anything. I've heard that my blocked numbers can still call me if they use their unknown call code.

Yep. Any calls coming to you listed as "Unknown", will come through. There's no way for you to block these directly on your phone, but some carriers will, so contact yours. That would be the only way to block these calls.

Since updating the new iOS7, I am receiving a call several times a day from a number listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the other end of the line when I answer. Any advise to block this call from coming to my phone?

Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

I am recieving calls from a solicitor. Show up as no caller Id. I want to block all calls that do not show caller Id. Can I do that? I am on the do not call list

How do I block all in coming calls that do not show on my caller Id. Phone says "no caller id" This particular call is from a place selling septic tank cleaner. They leave an automated voice mail. They are calling me over and over. I am on the national do not call list but that's no help. Because the caller id doesn't show anything I can't even report them.
I remember in the past calling a number and before my call would go thru I would have to enter my phone number so the party I was calling knew who was calling them. That is what I want to do. I want to block all calls from "no caller id" "number unavailable" Just FYI my phone is an IPHONE 5 and I am on Verizon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

itbitybob, good day!

Want External Phone Number Mask to say "Unknown Caller" Is this Possible?

When a user dials an external # is it possible to have it show on Caller ID as "Unknown Caller"?
I have deleted the # that is currently in the External Phone Number Mask, and left it blank, but the Coporate# now shows when he dials out.
This is something that only needs to be setup for 1 user, not the entire company.

There will always be some number/name displayed. If you do not put in a number in the outside mask, the number/name associated with the smart trunk will be displayed.
You might talk to your local phone company and see if they can restrict the numbers or a single phone number. If they can do that on even one number, you can put it into the mask for all of your phones.
Two other problems you might have with this. One, a lot of people (I do) block calls from phones that do not display a phone numbers.
Another problem you are going to run into is when someone calls "911" by accident. The Police/fire will try to call back to the number for the smart trunk. And since most often is not on a phone. They will send cars or trucks to the address listed for those smart trunks. Usually the billing address for your company.

Block incoming calls

how to block incoming calls on iphone

They really need an App .. native or not to block calls. I have tried with my provider and they offer a blocking service .. but only if the caller is advertising thier number. Therfore I can not block unknown or blocked numbers from calling me! These are the ones I really need to block... My wifes phone is one digit off mine .. last night at 3:30am we get called by a blocked number at the same time and of course .. no one on the other end... robocallers should be illegal.
If your in Canada I would suggest filing a complaint to the CRTC on the abuse of unknown/blocked numbers and our inability to block or even report them. I can only file a report if I have a phone number displayed I sent in my complaint this morning to them after finding out Rogers had no way for me to prevent these phone calls.
