Can you block callers?

Does anybody know how to block telephone numbers with the iPhone?  I don't mean reject a call, but to stop the call even getting through?

I created a silent ringtone and assign it to any wrong number that keeps calling. My old number was one digit different from the number for an ambulance service that transported people from nursing homes to hospitals and back.
When I gave up my land line I transfered that number to my iPhone. Years ago, (I've had that number over 10 years), it belonged to a real estate management company. Now I get calls for them. They're in google and online phone books, even though they don't exist anymore. I tried removing my number from these lists, but it keeps coming back.
I created a contact called "BS-Don't Answer". When a wrong call comes in I assign it to that contact. They never disturb me again.

  • Can you block file types???

    Can you block certain file types from playing to force users to have a standardized file type to be uploaded to the server?  For example, if we decide we do not want .wav files played on the server, is there a configuration setting to block/stop a .wav from playing from the server?  I want to standardize the server and force end users to copy only certain file types into the vod folder.

    That would be in the technology you use to upload the files.
    If you build out a server side solution that would upload files to your web server you could do that, but no, FMS is about streaming what's already there or creating new files.  It doesn't care how it got there...
    Something like this:  http://www.inaflashuploader.com/ might work for you.  ( I think there's a max size limit to the files you can upload. just FYI )
    **disclaimer i have not used this I just googled for a flash + php upload script **

    My iphone was steal.
    Can you block it with i-mai code? (012752000706947)

    No. Nobody here can do anything. We're just end users like yourself.
    Your network operator may be able to block it via IMEI - if they offer that service. You need to contact them.
    You may be able to track it, lock it or wipe it at http://icloud.com/ if you setup the "Find my iPhone" service before it was stolen.

  • Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary systaem for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

    Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary system for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

    iCal is designed for personal use, and isn't really meant to handle this sort of situation.
    The best suggestion I can offer, though it's a trifle untidy, is: create a calendar for each therapist, giving each a different colour. Enter the availability for each therapist - if it's on a weekly basis you can make them repeating events. Then add the individual appointments, which will show alongside in the daily view. In this example, the 'purple' therapist is available from 1030 to 1700 and has appointments at 1200 and 1500.
    If you have more than a few therapists available at any one time it's liable to look a bit messy, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.

  • For iphone users with att, can you block incoming texts all together? After paying $20 for data i dont want to pay as i go/pay more for texts

    For iphone users with att, can you block incoming texts all together? After paying $20 for data i dont want to pay as i go/pay more for texts

    SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
    MMS requires data.
    iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
    You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

  • HT201304 can you block texting to specific numbers?

    can you block texting to specific numbers under parental controls?

        Great question, jtgeor!
    You can block up to 5 numbers from call and messaging you with our free Call & Message block feature. Here is how: http://vz.to/MqEgqB
    We can place a hard block on text messages as well which will prevent all incoming and outgoing messages.
    You may also place the device in Airplane mode to avoid any charges.

  • HT5463 Can you block calls from certain numbers

    Can you block calls from certain numbers

    You can also make a contact for those numbers and assign a silent
    ringtone to them. The calls will still come in, but you will not hear them
    and they will eventually go to vocie mail if you have it set up.
    You must do this for each number as wildcards are not accepted in
    Contacts, but all the numbers can be listed in one contact.
    As Ocean20 has stated above, true call blocking is a function of
    your wireless provider.

  • Are there parental controls on the nano?  Can you block the 'games'?

    Help! I am trying to help a friend to young son just received a nano for Christmas. His friends are using the nano more for games than music (why I don't know...) but my friend wants to block the 'games' on her son's new nano before he figures out that there are games. I know you can keep the 'games' off the main menu but can you block them entirely? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
    iPod Nano (2G)   Other OS  

    No you can't block the games, and to be honest I don't see the point anyway !
    What kind of spoilsport parents buy a present and then wants to disable a harmless set of very simple games.
    They are using it for games because it is fun and they are enjoying themselves!!!
    Maybe there should be a 'No Fun' option on the iPod, and only allow miserable music to be installed.....
