Blocking callers on my iphone?

How do I block callers on my iPhone?

You don't. Call blocking, for any cell phone, can only be done by your carrier. Some carriers offer call blocking, some don't. If yours doesn't:
Create an entry in your Contacts list called "Spam". Put this number in that entry, then assign a silent ringtone to the contact entry. While the call will still come through, your phone won't ring. Here's a silent ringtone already made for you:

If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

Depends on whether you are using the same iCloud account on the device, or if you are syncing Contacts via iTunes, if you are syncing both devices to the same computer.
When you block someone, no matter which application you "launch" the block from (Messages, Phone, FaceTime) you are blocking the Contact. So, any app that uses that contact will see it as a blocked contact and will block any incoming activity to that app from that contact.

How to block callers on my iphone

This problem is easy to resolv, and lots of apps can do call blocking, but Apple for some reason dont allow Them In AppStore. Apple defenately know this, and should free the apps In AppStore that can help their customers. They dont have to create an app, just realease the apps that have existed for years and are working perfectly.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

HT4515 how to assign ringtone to blocked callers

Does anyone know how to assign a ringtone to "blocked callers"? I have songs/tones assigned to various contacts, but would like to assign to blocked callers (i.e. my work)

It can not be done. The reason Caller ID displays "Blocked" is because the caller has explicitly decided to block their number from being transmitted over the caller ID system. Without a number, it is not possible for the phone to match the string received with a phone number in a contact.
Only your carrier can block these calls. Contact them and see if they offer this service.

I currently have Imessage turned off on my phone since there is no blocking feature on the Iphone 4. If I change my phone number and turn on Imessage, how do I make sure I won't get Messages from person I have blocked?

I have the Iphone 4 but before this I had a different phone and had blocked someone from contacting me via calls/texts. Unbeknownst to me, when I got the Iphone 4, that I cannot block Imessages. I have turned off Imessage for the time being but I'm seriously considering changing my phone number. If I change the number with my carrier and turn Imessage back on, what do I have to do to ensure that any previous messages don't come through and any future messages cannot be sent?

How do I "block" contacts on my iphone 5C

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 I discovered that within Contacts I now have the option to 'block' a contact which is awesome! My wife has an iPhone 5 and also now has this capability. My service is through AT&T Wireless and her's is Verizon.
But the new iPhone 5C I purchased for my college aged daughter (also on Verizon) does NOT have this capability. Is this feature not available on the 5C? Or is this a Verizon 5C thing? Since the 5C is described as the 5, only in a cost reduced hardware platform it SHOULD have this capability as my wife's does. I feel misled.
If it is an attempt by Apple to differentiate the 5C and 5S, why didn't Apple make this OBVIOUS in their literature??? Knowing of this difference, and any others that are yet to be found, I may have purchased the 5S instead.
Having this capability on the 5C should not require an app to be installed, free or not.
Thanks in advance for any clarity / insight on this.
Interested in knowing if anyone else with a 5C can tell me if they have this feature available who might be on a carrier other than Verizon.

I beleive the Contact Blocking is an iOS 7 feature, hence why your iPhone 4S & 5 now has it where it didn't before.
I know of the following areas where you can block a contact.
Any Contact with IN the Phone app
Any "Unknown Number" in the Recent tab in the Phone app
Any Contact with in iMessages... Click the name at the top, then the i with a circle around it. Scroll to the bottom.
Settings---> Phone---> Blocked---> Add New
However, from what it looks like you can not block any contacts from with in the Contact app.
You may want to look into Verizon's own blocking system, this is done on they're end. So the phone won't even see it, and it's for any type of phone. Just sign into your VW account.
Left column you should see "Block Services."
Center/top Manage Family Safegaurds and Controls.
Then the very first one should be Call & Message Blocking
Right side of screen is the View Details & Edit. Select that, then you can select which phone you want to apply the blocking to. Once on that screen you can enter the number(s) to be blocked. You can make it so it's for just that phone you want to apply to it. Or all the phones on the plane.
Just make sure that you know that it blocks the number for 90 days, but you can reblock it once the 90 days are up. And that you only have 5 sets of numbers per phoneline.
I've used it in the past and the people who've been calling me hasn't call me since. Even after the 90 day blocking period. Probably because they got the hint. lol

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.

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.

How to block spam sms in iPhone for India? Any solution?

I get far more annoyed with text message spam than I do with email spam. My iPhone (unlocked) dings every time I receive a text message, and I check it as soon as I can. I really, really resent the intrusion when it’s spam. And of course there’s the cost. I don’t pay per text message, but when I am in international roaming I do. I searched every nook and cranny on the iPhone to find a way to block the spam, to no avail. Suggestions in different web forum like contacting the service provider (in my case its Vodafone India) did not help. My friends using other mobile service companies like Airtel says the situation is the same. So no point changing service provider. There is one application iBlacklist which I purchased but was a waste of 2 dollars as it does not work in India (see the complaints of the cheated customers in the app store). Is there any iphone application which will allow me to block the spams while still able to receive sms from friends and relatives. I know that my issue is not a new one but honestly, I have tried out everything and have not found an effective solution that works in Indian setting. Many thanks for your suggestions.

I am lucky lucky because up to now I have had very few Spam SMS'.
I give out my cell phone number as little as possible.
The following article may give you some tips about prventing spam SMS:
