Cant block unknown call

How do we block unknown callers on new iphone 5s. ?

I believe there is a solution wherein only calls from your known contacts will ring on your phone and all other calls, including unknown callers, will be redirected to your voicemail.
Use your Do Not Disturb feature to only allow calls from known contacts.  Other calls will be immediately directed to your voicemail. 
Settings
Do Not Disturb
Select Manual
Select "Allow Calls From All Contacts"
Remeber to check your voicemail and add new contacts as appropriate.

    I'm getting obnoxious calls from an "unknown caller" - I want to:
    1. Block ALL "unknown" callers or
    2. Assign a silent ring tone to all unknown caller
    How can I do this? Surely, there must be a way.

    You may also setup usage control for $4.99 month.  This will allow you to block restricted calls. For more info on Usage controls, click here https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/uc/uc_home.jsp

  • Block Unknown Call / SMS

    Everything that I have read suggests the you cannot block individual 'spam' calls or text .. is this is the case, it's not acceptable.
    I have a Blackberry Z30 .. there MUST be a way to block individual calls or text. You can on other makes of phones so why not a Blackerry Z30. You can block all calls, but that's a little overkill.
    I have been a loyal user of Blackberry phones over the past 6 years, if this cannot be resolved soon, when my current contract is up, I will be switching to another make ..
    Please advise ..
    Thanks

  • Waves of blocked and unknown calls

    The continued waves of blocked and unknown call has me never picking up my phone.  I have no blocks on my account, btw.  I have been missing important calls as I have to keep the phone on vibe.   I cannot find a way to block these calls.  I hope I'm missing something on the phone or account that can help.  Thanks.

        Hi dcbill,
    I feel your pain; I don't like unsolicited/blocked calls either. While there is no way to keep companies or people from calling your number you can block incoming calls from restricted/blocked/unknown calls with Usage Controls. See details online http://goo.gl/TU18j at your convenience.

  • Using *77 to set 'anonymous​' or 'unknown' call blocking is not working

    Per instructions from Verizon, I used *77 to turn on anonymous call blocking last night. I dialed *77, and got a voice telling me that I have enabled anonymous call blocking.
    However, it's NOT working. When I call home from my office, it shows up in caller ID as "unavailable"; shouldn't a call that is identified as 'unavailable' be blocked with this service?  Does anyone understand why this would be the case? Are all 'unavailable calls' the same?

    Unavavailable/unknown calls and anonymous/private calls are two different things. Anonymous calls are calls from someone who has chosen to block their telephone number from being displayed on your caller ID screen. This means the caller has dialed *67 before dialing your phone number (or they have what is called line blocking where all their outgoing caller id info is automatically blocked without them having to dial *67 before every call).  *77 is used to block anonymous/private calls and force the caller to allow their caller id info to come through to your phone in order for the call to complete.
    Unavailable/unknown calls are calls in which no caller id information has been sent. These are generally from collection agencies or telemarketers.  *77 will not block these calls in any way. The only services which will block or screen these calls are Call Intercept or Do Not Disturb. 

  • Call filter no longer blocking "Unknown" callers a...

    The feature that blocks withheld numbers was blocking "Unknown" callers on GDR2. However, it does not block them in GDR3.
    I believe these are international calls.

    Yes, it's turned on.
    When you say it's ok on yours, how do you know? Are you getting the same type of calls as I show in my screenshot?

        Thank you for messaging us, mandmc. Being able to customize and block unwanted callers is important. In order to be able to block unknown numbers, there is a service feature that we offer through Family Base that allows you to block all unknown callers: http://vz.to/1sSnjqp
    You can also search for apps that can help with this, but be sure to check reviews to make sure they do work correctly.

    How to block UNKNOWN or RESTRICTED calls on my IPhone 4s?

        Hi austill87,
    No one likes those annoying restricted calls. Let me enlighten you on how to stop those calls once and for all. By adding the Usage Control feature on your line, you will be given the capability of blocking restricted, unknown or blocked numbers. Here is how you can add the feature www.verizonwireless.com/usagecontrols

  • HT201229 If someone adds the unknown call code, will the message go through to someone who has blocked the caller?

    I'm concerned as to whether or not this affects anything. I've heard that my blocked numbers can still call me if they use their unknown call code.

    Yep. Any calls coming to you listed as "Unknown", will come through. There's no way for you to block these directly on your phone, but some carriers will, so contact yours. That would be the only way to block these calls.

  • Since updating the new iOS7, I am receiving a call several times a day from a number listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the other end of the line when I answer.  Any advise to block this call from coming to my phone?

    Since updating to the new iOS7, I receive a call several times a day listed as "unknown" and nobody is on the line.  Any advise as to why this is happening and how I can block this call?

    Update - made an appointment at Genius bar today (chadstone, Victoria, Australia).
    Genius examined phone, replicated the issue and identified a malfunctioning main microphone. He noted that the reason I could still talk to the other party when I activated the 'speakerphone' function is that the speakerphone has a (second) noise cancelling microphone/speaker at the top of the handset. He replaced the phone under warranty, and offered to help me to set up the new phone. In and out in less than 15 minutes, with new phone operational.
    Very knowledgable, very polite and just great service.. Thank you Apple team at Chadstone.

  • I cant block calls

    my mother has been recieving harrasing phone calls from a telemarketer and since the account is in my name she wanted me to fix the problem. I told her I would. So I got on the Verizon Wireless website followed all the directions to block the caller and it keeps giving me an error. The telemarketers are getting worse calling every hour or less. They are waisting my minutes and they are extremely rude. If I dont answer they call even more often. I'm already signed up for the national Do No call list but these people dont seem to care. I've tried calling customer service but it just tells me how to use this website to block the caller but again for the last 2 hours I have been getting an error every time I try to block them. These people have been calling since 8am yesterday and havent stopped and now if I answer the phone they just scream at me. What do I do?

    Here's how I handle calls from telemarketers on my cell phone. I save them under the contact: Telemarketer! Then, I change the ringtone to: Crickets. That way, whenever they call again, if I hear crickets chirping, I know it's a telemarketer, so no need to bother getting up to answer the calls. Eventually, perhaps they will take me off their list since I never answer. I've got several saved, it's an ongoing process. But now, the telemarketer calls make me smile instead of cringe, because when I hear crickets chirping, I feel like I've outsmarted them. Hope this helps someone else.
