  • How can we block a wireless phone number?

    We use fios tv/internet/phone package and recently almost every day we got 2 or 3 times phone calls from the same wireless phone number we do not know.  When we pick up the phone to answer, the caller makes no sounds and we have to hang up.  It is very annoying.  Is there a way that we can block this person phone number so that he/she can not bother us anymore?

    THere is a service you can subscribe to, not sure what the name is right now, but if you call the billing office and tell them you are getting harrasing calls, they can put a block on it.
    Some of the services like FiOS digital voice, the Hub or I think the old IOBI let you block up to 5 or so numbers so it shouldn't be a big deal.

  • Can I have the same phone number on an iPhone and an iPad with cellular?

    I currently have an iPhone 4s and am interested in getting an iPad Air.  I'm interested in the cellular option for iPad, but don't want to give up my smaller, portable phone.  Is it possible have one phone number for both devices?

    No, the cellular version of an iPad will have it's own number associated with it.
    You would, however, be able to sign into the same Apple ID account and receive iMessages on both devices for that account. Keep in mind that you would not receive SMS messages sent to that account, only iMessages, so any texts you receive from non-iPhone people or iPhone people with iMessage disabled would only be received on the iPhone.

  • How can I remove my old phone number from my iPhone?

    I want to sell my old iPhone 5 (Sprint), and I want to get everything off of it. Obviously I'd restore it and remove everything first, but how do I get the 'My number' to change from my current phone number (which was ported to T Mobile and is with a newer phone now) to something else/removed? I remember I had the same problem a few years ago with an android phone, and I kept getting texts from my number on it (both phones at the same time), I obviously don't want something like this to happen again, especially if I sell it.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone?

    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.

  • Blocking a certain phone number?

    I am looking to block a certain phone number from calling and texting me, is there anyway that this can be done?

    Call blocking or SMS blocking is a carrier feature. There is no setting on an iPhone to do this. You can call your carrier to see if they offer blocking(some do for an additional monthly fee), if they don't, create a silent ringtone & assign such to the number.

  • Will blocking someone's phone number block iMessages as well as calls/ texts?

    I recently blocked someone's phone number on my account (we both have iPhones) and am wondering....
        a. will this person still be able to send me an iMessage?
        b. what do they see on their end when they send a text message?
    If you know from experience and can share that would be great! Thanks!

    They will not get a message saying their number is blocked if it's a straight SMS text. They may get a "delivery failure" notice on the message. For calls, they will receive a recording telling them that your number is not receiving calls.
    As far as iMessages, if you delete the person from your contacts, you can go into your Settings--> Notifications--> Messages... at the bottom of this screen you will see Show iMessage Alerts From:... change your option from Everyone to My Contacts Only. This doesn't technically "block" anything, but it does prevent the message from reaching you. You can, however, still iMessage them.
    Otherwise, you can turn iMessaging off in your settings, under the messages tab. Then ALL messages from everyone come through as text messages and the block service Verizon offers will take care of the numbers you enter.

  • Can I use one phone number on two iphones with two apple ids?

    My carrier allows multiple sim cards with the same phone number for usage on different devices. I would like to use a second sim card for my phone number on a second iphone, but with a different apple id.
    Is it possible to use one phone number on two iphones with separate apple ids? How does this affect facetime/imessage?
    I can only find answers to using the same apple id on multiple devices. This works fine, but is not what I want to do here.

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.

    If you have completed the info for a contact there will be additional spaces for more phone numbers. If you have not added a number yet, simply tap the word to the left of the blank phone number space to change the category.

  • TS4268 How can I remove an imessage phone number?

    How can I remove a mobile phone number from Settings>Messages>Send & Receive?

    Deactivate iMessage on both devices.
    Sounds like iMessage for your ID was initially activated on her device.
    Then sign in with the correct ID on your device and activate iMessage, it should like to your number.  If it does, repeat with her ID on her device and confirm everything is as desired.

  • Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a num

    Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a number. it is listed as 1-800-426-570? One number missing. I just paid with my credit card online for photoshop and it is not allowing me to log in in order to download.

    If I click on the adobe.ly link Rajshree gave you, above, there is a phone number at the bottom of the Customer Support contact webpage.
    This is the number I see when logged in with an AdobeID associated with the US is:
    800-833-6687
    It is possible that you are somewhere else in the world and the webpage is smart enough to give a different phone number, so the number I see may or may not be applicable to where you are.
    It also may be advisable to use the Chat instead of the phone, because it may be easier to understand what someone is typing than trying to interpret their English through whatever accent they are speaking with.
