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.

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 there is a guide i found but it's out of date and broken.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.

Blocking International Texts / Calls

I am receiving texts from an international source and a number larger than the 10 Verizon allows to be blocked.
I wouldn't mind so much but each of these texts costs me .20
Is there a way to block these texts?
I do not like getting texts that are unwanted and that I do not want to pay for this harassment.

Hello FC_Mouse,
I know it must be frustrating receiving text messages from a number you don't recognize. Although we do offer Call and Message Blocking, where you can block up to five 10-digit numbers from calling and messaging you, this option is not available with international numbers. If you don’t recognize the number who you’re receiving text messages from you do have the option of changing your mobile number by logging in to My Verizon to prevent additional charges.

Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking

Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking at her phone.

First of all, there is no need to put the entire text of your post into the title of your thread.
Next, does your daughter have an iPhone? Do her friends have iPhones? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is possible she is not texting them, but using iMessage to communicate with them. iMessages will not show up in the texting traffic on a line as they are not texts, but messages sent thru Apple's servers.
For all "texts" to show up in the texting activity of an iPhone, you must disable iMessage on the device. Any messages sent as iMessages(blue bubbles around the text) on an iPhone will not show up in any texting activity.

Since upgrading to IOS6, some of my contacts (using nokia) no longer receives sms from me, although it shows on my 4s phone that it was sent. I receive sms from these contacts though. These contacts are international numbers. What do I do to fix this? Thx

Since upgrading to IOS6 on my 4s, some of my sms messages (international) are no longer delivered to other phone users (nokia, etc.), even though it shows sent in the message screen. I do however receive sms messages from these numbers. These numbers are correct and I can call or receive calls on the same numbers. I would appreciate if someone can assist me so that my messages can be received again on international numbers. I think all my local numbers are working fine regarding messages. Thanks.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

How to make the Internal numbering as Alpha-Numeric

Hi,
In the Document Info Record, the Internal numbering is always numeric.
How to make it Alpha-Numeric?
Regards,
Shashi

Dear Shashidhar,
Number assignment is derived from Document Type of the DIR. You can customise the Document type settings (DC10) to make the number range as External or Mixed.
Modify the settings in "Number Assgmt" tab as 2 for only external number assignement and 3 for mixed number assignment.
Hope this solves your question.
Regards,
Sudharshan

Block unknown numbers

Need to block all unknown and blocked numbers

Peggy-
Contact your carrier. Most carriers offer the ability to block certain numbers. Explain to them what you need to do and find out what they offer.
Best of luck.

I want to block unknown numbers which is not stored in the contacts

I want to block unknown numbers which is not stored in the contacts

Contact your carrier to see if they offer call blocking services.
If you just don't want to be bothered, you can set a custom ringtone for all of your contacts, then create or download a "silent" ringtone and set a custom vibration pattern of "none" and assign them as the default ringtone and vibration pattern. This won't actually block the calls, but you won't hear it ring and they will roll to voicemail.

International numbers not being caller IDed

Hi,
I travel a lot and therefor keep all my contacts with international numbers (ie +1 515 555 5555).
When any of them call I only get (515) 555 5555 without a name...
I read that I should keep double entries per phone number: 1 "regular" and 1 international, but I can't believe this is true for the iphone...
Any ideas?

You have two choices:
1. Save two copies of each number in your contacts...one with the +1 for dialing, and one without the +1 that the phone will recognize through caller ID.
2. (the better solution) Save your numbers in your contacts without the international prefix. Then, when you travel abroad, just turn on the International Dialing Assist feature in your phone settings. With this feature turned on, the international dialing prefix is added automatically when you select a number to dial.

Blocking All Numbers Except A Few

Hi,
My friend is having the same person call her from diffrent numbers. Is there any way that you can create a list where you add the numbers that are allowed to call you? My friend has had to block 15 numbers all from the same person.
Thanks

Have her talk to her carrier.
She might want to consider changing her number.
Also, see what Google Voice can do for you. (USA only)

Blocking international access

just read an interesting article in the ny times which spoke
about how worldwide spam volumes have doubled... and that spam
accounts for more than 9 of 10 email messages sent.
since a good chunk of the junk comes from outside the country
- and presumably a good chunk of the programs that scour websites
looking for email addresses are out of the country - it seems like
it would be a good idea to block international access to a site
(assuming, obviously, that one doesn't care about the quality
viewers that will be lost in the process) and also block receipt of
incoming email that originated outside the country.
possible?

You'd better go take a nap. That's way too many paragraphs
for you

Blocking international traffic to BC site

Does anyone know how to block international traffic to a BC website? We recieive a flood of traffic for international countries that drastically distort our analytic reports. Thanks for any help....

I understand the usability issue. It sucks to not have the information right when you log in. Sorry.
It is normal to get visits from international countries though. Sometimes I get a lot of visits from specific countries like you did from Ukraine. This usually happens in our case when companies or bots are trying to post their links in our blog.
Take advantage of the captcha from BC if you don't use it yet in your forms. I found extremely helpful lowering the number of spam that I was getting in both my blog posts and contact request tickets.
These are some other links it might help you....
To exclude certain IP Adresses in BC
With Google Analytics these links may help you...

Blocking Inbound Numbers

What is the best pay to block inbound numbers on CCM 4.1(3)SR1. For example, we have this one particuler number that is probably a computer generated number that keeps calling. When we pickup no one is there.
Where can this be filtered? Thanks!

If your PSTN provider can block it there are some advantages. First you don't have to do it, second even though you can, it does tie up a channel coming into your gateway for the time it takes to reach CallManager and reject it. If it is a computer generated call, it could be making several at a time and could result in a sort of DOS on the gateway. Other than that, you could route it to non-existant phone or I think use a route filter. I would also setup reporting on it to verify the block is working.
