Blocking international call numbers

Christina,
I am also having the same issues with international texts and I am being charged for them. I am getting messages from two numbers:
(numbers removed)
I have asked them to stop and they continue to call and text me. Is there any way you can help me to block these numbers or stop it somehow since I have been charged for the texts they have been sending me.
Thank you,
Taylor

I'm getting spammed by some international number and verizon's call block only accepts 10-digit numbers. where are the options for blocking call outside of the country? there is a guide i found but it's out of date and broken.
International incoming calls cannot be blocked. Outgoing calls can only be made if an International Dialing feature is added to your account.

Block International Calls

How do I prevent my users from calling international phone numbers?
CUCM 10.0 + Cisco H.323 gateway
Take into consideration that according to the NL numbering plan:
0 - external
00 - long distance
000 - International
So matching for 000 is preceded by a match for either 0 and 00.
I gather I'll have to do something with a route filter, but so far I haven't been able to create one that actually works.

I wasn't able to use a 000 route pattern, the callmanager seemed to like the match for 0 better.
However, I was able to figure out how to use route filters.
- created a 2nd 0.@ with a 2nd route partition (same calling search space).
- created two route filters: 1: no international, 2: international
- set the two filters on the respective route patterns
- enabled Forced Authorization Code on the international route pattern
This way only users that know the code can call international.

Blocking international numbers?

Is there a way to get international calls blocked?
More importantly calls from india?
On a daily basis I get cold callers from india calling me for various reasons like market research, PPI, Solar cells, Microsoft support scams etc.
It doesn't matter what I tell them the calls never stop. I had some success once by telling them the person they were calling was dead but that didn't last long.
These calls are really getting on my nerves now. They show up on the caller display as international. I've looked through BT caller features but I can't find a service to block international calls.
So does anyone know if there is a way to get BT to block all calls from india to my line?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BT cannot do it, you would have to buy a 3rd party device like CPR Call Blocker, or Truecall.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

International calls and texting sept2012

is it just me or didnt verizon used to have an option where you could block international calling?? i could've sworn they did! i have 2 adtnl lines, i remember one of them was blocked! now they can text from them. did they take that option off all together?? so many things have changed i dont even know anymore? does anyone know? please let me know, thoughts or comments?

By international do you mean Canada?
I know that international text CANNOT be blocked unless you block just a few numbers or block ALL messaging. Verizon can EASILY put a system in place to do this, but this is Verizon's (as well as other major carriers) illegal revenue stream so you will have to deal with it.
For int'l calling, typically calls to Canada (long distance) CANNOT be blocked - another illegal revenue stream for Verizon (like 411 directory calls), so the only option you have is to block individual numbers or just don't make calls to Canada.

CME COR block internal

is there anyway to block internal calls on CME? like two extensions, 101, 102, I don't want 101 call 102
other question, I have one 2600 router (CME), I have another 2800 router (with CUE), can 2600 CME use CUE on 2800 via IP?
thanks

Yes, or you can simply prevent calling 102 from 101 with a translation-profile and rule
rule 1 reject /^102/
applied incoming to dn 101
And yes, you can do that with the CUE.
Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

How can I block all incoming international calls?

How can I block all incoming international calls?

Verizon does not value me as a customer because they would not assist me with getting the blocks done. The services Verizon offered, "Family Base" does not block what I and many, many, many, more verizon customers need. The APP is working GREAT! In the 1st two days it blocked over 25 unwanted solicitations from India. It blocked "unknown", Private, 1234, 123456789566, 000-000-0000, and other 10 digit numbers! NOKIA has done a fabulous job with the developement of their APP. Verizon could block these calls but is not willing to do so and in the process try to sell me a product that wouldn't work.

Can I block all international call-outs?

I bought an iPhone 3G in Hong Kong, and I have a lot of friends in US and China. Is it possible to block all the international calls, to block all the numbers begin with +1 and +86?

I mean block all call-outs. I would be very happy to answer their calls
Maybe I'm being naïve, but wouldn't the easiest solution be simply not to call them? Is the temptation simply too great?

Block incoming international calls?

I am getting incoming phone calls from 2348173632154 -- spam from a Nigerian caller! I cannot block it, because it is a 13-digit number and not a 10-digit number. Does anyone know how I can block it through other means?

Hi Gcambp8424!
I realize unexpected calls can be frustrating! Unfortunately, international numbers with more than 10 digits can not be blocked. Keep in mind, you will not be billed for receiving an international call while you a located in the United States. To view our Call & Messaging block feature visit:http://vz.to/1nMgSTH .

I am receiving calls from 911,917,918,919,etc. I believe these are international calls from mobile phones in India. How do I stop/block them?

Unwanted calls are never pleasant! To confirm, are these calls only coming from 3 digits numbers? If coming from 10 digit number we offer 5 free blocks via https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=callMessageBlocking. While not the most convenient, we also offer the ability to change your phone number free via http://www.vzw.com/myverizon.

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!

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.

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!

tdesomma1,
That is definitely odd! Are these calls telemarketing calls? Have you answered and requested that they remove you from thier calling list?
