Blocking Anonymous Phone Calls

How can I block anonymous phone calls in Tampa, FL?

I don't think you can block those numbers with the free blocking option, but you can block them with Usage Controls, which will allow you to block up to 20 numbers, including Restricted numbers, 411, and "000-000-0000."  It costs $4.99 per line. It has other features as well.:

If you don't want to pay for the service, you could just not answer and/or send the calls to voice mail; maybe after a few attempts they'll quit calling.
Good luck!

  • Blocking Spam Phone Calls

    hi, is it possible to block entirely some phone numbers from even registering on my phone...I am being called by a spam caller even though on the DNC list. Can I block this caller entirely, so the phone will not vibrate/ring when their number calls and so that they will be unable to leave voice messages or activate the screen alert "phone call from so and so" etc. I just do not care to know anything about this caller. Can I block them -- wouldn't such caller block option be a GREAT plus for digital phones?
    thanks

    As far as I know, you cannot block incoming numbers. I was having the same problem and researched the AT&T website and it says that you cannot block specific incoming calls.

  • Account blocked for phone calls

    I have a regular account and I can use it without any problems for Internet based communication. When I try to call via phone, I get a message that my account is blocked.
    I still have credit left on my account, so not having credit does not seem to be the reason. Any possible explanations why this is happening?

  • Blocking 0000000000 phone calls

    I have received 8 calls so far today from phone number 0000000000, and when i have answered the call, someone tells me that i've won $100 gift bundle and they get very rude when i ask who they are and what company they are calling from.  It's very frustrating.

  • Can you choose to block phone calls but not texts from a number?

    So I have searched all over the place and have not found an answer.  I am sure someone has blocked me from calling them because when I try to call them I recieve this message: "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. The number you were trying to reach has calling restrictions which has prevented the completion of your call."However I am wondering if they can still receieve my texts.  I have sent two and they both show that they have been delivered on my phone and they both also show up on my online bill as having been sent from me and recieved to the number that I am pretty sure has blocked me.  Does Verizon allow someone to block just phone calls but not text messages?  Or if you block a number from calling does that mean texting from that same number is automatically blocked as well (or is it two seperate processes)?  I understand it may look like it has been sent on my end, but I am wondering, since I never got a "message failed" indicator or anything else telling me they never got it, if they were able to receive and read the 2 messages?  We both are Verizon customers by the way.  Thanks!!!

    That person did block you, and no they cannot receive or read your texts.

  • Blocking Phone Calls on the iPhone

    Anyone have a method to
    block incoming phone calls
    from arbitrary numbers or
    swaths of numbers to an
    Apple iPhone 3g?
    Example: block all calls from
    area code 951... block all from
    951-123-4567, block all
    that come in from 951-123-*,
    etc.
    Lightwave on the Palm Treo
    can do this, easily. (I am pretty
    new to the Apple iPhone so
    pardon the newbie approach.)

    As with a landline, I believe cell phone numbers can be used for telemarketing purposes by a company you have done business with if you provide your cell phone number to the company when purchasing merchandise, etc.
    I doubt many cell phone carriers are overly concerned about losing market share - with each other maybe, but not losing market share to landlines. AT&T's residential landline business has been gradually dropping for years with a significant drop indicated with their most recent quarterly report, which is the same for all landline providers. I use my personal cell phone in place of a landline, and I've been doing this for the last 5 years or so, which has been a growing trend.
    Telemarketers are probably more respectful of Federal law in this regard with a Federal do not call registry for landlines and cell phone numbers they must respect or face prosecution or fines by the Federal government. Regardless, there is a Federal do not call registry, which everyone with a landline or cell phone number should use if they want to prevent or minimize telemarketing calls, and be careful or aware before giving out their phone number.

  • Blocking phone calls

    Is there any way to block unwanted phone calls? Telemarketers keep calling, do not call list doesn't work. It would be nice to have a feature where I can add these unwanted numbers to a blocking system on the phone.

    The Iphone does not have such a facility. It can only be done at network level I'm afraid

    How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone, so it only hears a busy tone?

    You cannot do this on the iPhone - this is a feature/service that must be provided by the carrier. Contact your carrier and ask if they can do this. In the US, for example, AT&T offers as part of the SmartLimits package.

  • HT1688 Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

    Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

    No.
    For security reasons, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs which such an app would require.
    You want to stop being able to place such calls or stop receiving such calls?
    If the latter, try stopping it at the source by contacting your carrier.

  • Blocking Texts but allow phone calls from specific number?

    I have done some research but have not found what I'm looking for.
    I would like to be able to block a specific number from sending me text messages but I would still like to be able to receive phone calls from them.  It seems to be a unique situation.  I'm not sure if it is something Verizon can handle or if it's available in a third party App?  Thanks for any info you can provide.  I have an HTC Droid Incredible if that matters.

    I know that the free number blocking offered by Verizon Wireless will block both calls and texts from the blocked numbers.
    There might be something in the Play Store, but I'm not aware of any specific applications.
