Certain exchanges blocked from incoming calls?

When I switched from the old copper phone line to digital FIOS, certain telephone exhanges lost the ability to call me on my landline. For example - people calling from (212) 242-XXXX and (212) 206-XXXX get a "number is not in service" message when they call me. Up until the switch there was no issue. It's ANY number on the whole exchange - which is bizarre.
I tried turning off all the call blocking and rejecting features but still no luck. Right now I have friends and family on those exchanges call my cell phone - but it's pretty annoying. i tried customer service and they say everything is functioning normally - but, naturally, on my side the problem still persists!
Has anyone else experienced this or does someone out there know what to do?

i've got the same issue!
Is this a known problem?

Blackberry Passport is blocking some incoming calls

Hi,
My BB Passport is blocking all incoming calls if I don't have the number saved in my contact list. If there any way to turn off this option? I've contacted my service provider, and there is no restriction on my phone line. In fact, the service has been restarted twice.
Thanks,
Cesar

What can be wrong with my iPhone 4? There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music. I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

Can you block a incoming call on iPhone 4s

Call blocking is a carrier feature. In the U.S., most major carriers offer blocking features. Give yours a call.

how to block private incoming calls on my i phone4

It might not be any use to your situation but I find adding a default ringtone to those unwanted callers helps me decide whether or not to pick up the phone.
If it's cold callers that trouble you I would defintely reccomend this option.
If they know your not answering they will (although it may take some time) leave you alone.

How to block specific incoming calls

CCM 4.1(3)sr2
I am currently able to block specific calling numbers from PSTN with translation rules like this in my h323 gateway:
voice translation-rule 10
rule 1 reject /323xxx9650/
rule 2 reject /323xxx9580/
Then I use it with a call-block translation profile on the dial peer like this:
dial-peer voice 1 pots
call-block translation-profile incoming call_block_profile
destination-pattern 9T
progress_ind setup enable 3
incoming called-number .T
direct-inward-dial
port 2/0:23
Now I want to convert to MGCP and find that doing this same thing in Callmanager is [to me] less than obvious. Any thoughts?

Stick with H323 if you are wanting to do call control for PSTN calls, because, with MGCP, it is doable from CallManager using a combination of Route Patterns / Translation Patterns, but it is MUCH more convoluted than what you currently have established with your translation rules, which look pretty clean to me. If there is no GOOD reason to change, leave it alone....

I have an iphone5. I want a software through which I can block some incoming calls,can somebody help me to locate the best one

I am having an iphone5. I am looking for a software through which I can block some numbers to avoid incoming calls from them.please help me in this regard.

Enter those numbers into your contacts and assign them a silent
ringtone. The calls still come in, but you will not hear them.
True call blocking is a function of your wireless provider. If that
is what you want, do as AnaMusic stated above and contact your
Carrier.
Due to the sandbox nature of iOs, no third party app can do what you
want.

Nomorobo blocking all incoming calls

I set up Nomorobo last night. Got the confirmation phone call. After that, all incoming calls were blocked after the first ring. I emalied Nomorobo and am waiting for their response. Anyone else have this experience?

csk47 wrote:
I just installed Nomorobo yesterday as per the instructions given. Everything appeared to be set up correctly and the test screen showed protected. A couple of hours later I got a call with a short first ring then a second ring..then nothing. So I assumed it was a robocall that was intercepted. A few hours later another call came in..it, too, was intercepted. It seemed odd that two calls coming in..both are robocalls..so I logged into Xfinity and saw that both calls went right to voice mail rather than ringing through so I could answer them at home. Tried calling my home number with my cell and same thing...right to voice mail. Sent a message to Nomorobo but no response as yet. It seems the fault must be in the Call Forwarding preferences of Xfinity...but for now I've disconnected Nomorobo and calls from my cell go correctly to my home phone. If anyone comes up with a solution please post it.It took a month for me to hear back from nomorobo support and then I got this when I told them all my calls were going to robo. I did have it set up correctly so still not sure why mine won't work and I undid everything so I am back to 'normal' for now. It might be of some use to you.... "I'm sincerely sorry for the extreme delay here. From the information you've given me it sounds like the toll-free number (202-813-1600) we provided you is in your Call Forwarding list, not the Advanced Call Forwarding list, which means all your calls are being forwarded to Nomorobo. You should remove the number from that location and all incoming calls will no longer be blocked.If you don't see the Advanced Call Forwarding option, it's because Voice2Go isn't activated. Here is a link that should help you activate Voice2Go: https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/phone/activate-voice-2go . Here is another link with specific instructions to using Nomorobo on Comcast Xfinity: https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/phone/nomorobo"

UC540 - Flip to a Camera Service URL from Incoming Call

I have a client who says he has seen this before on a UC520 w/ 7975s, and he wants it repliated on his UC540 w/ 7975s. i.e. an incoming phone call from an access gate on an FXO port would cause the phone to ring, and force a page flip to a services URL or some oher mechanism where the camera is visible (Axis camera server that is then converting the images to PNG via a realtime script on a Unix host).
I know that cameras can be viewed at the services URL using a conversion method to PNG as above, but to the best of my knowledge you can't force the phone to flip automatically, or replace the background image automatically based on an incoming call.... Can somebody please confirm, or if it is now possible, explain the steps.

If that was done with CTI or TAPI and phone SDK, etc as custom application, yes it's possible. You would have to contact the author to know about the details, or start from almost zero to replicate it yourself.

Do not disturb does not block any incoming calls. Has anyone else had this problem how do you fix it

I Would really like to use this feature. But everytime I activate do not disturb I still receive calls and I am still disturbed.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

If you update to iOS 7.0, DND works both while your phone is locked, & when not locked. On iOS 6.0, only works when your phone is locked.
You have to go into settings and choose which you want. Always or only when locked. If you choose only when locked if you ar using your phone for anything, even it if is just sitting on a home page with the screen unlocked DND won't stop a call from coming through.

IPhone 5 incoming calls go straight to voicemail in certain areas

I know that this issue has been reported by many users in this and other forums, but I thought I would share my story too.
I have a iphone 5 that is exhibiting the following issues:
- When I am downtown Boston and certain areas in MA, incoming calls go straight to voicemail. The phone does not ring and the only way to tell if people called me is if they leave a voicemail
- When I make calls, my phone numbers shows as blocked at the receiving end. So if people block anonymous calls then I won't be able to call them
I opened a ticket with VZW and this is what has been done so far to no avail:
- Got a replacement phone
- Changed the SIM card
- Verizon Re-provisionned the phone number
- Disabled LTE
- Reset Network Settings
- Power cycle the phone (many many times)
Verizon said my issue is due to network extenders in the area. Well, if this is true then thousands of VZW customers would have this issue as network extenders are all over the place in Boston. So far VZW does not have a solution to my problem.
My next step is to reactivate my old iPhone 4S to see if it is a iPhone5 issue or something else. will keep you posted.

If they say they did, ask them to re-provision the account. Sometimes errors occur and the account is not provisioned correctly, even though features are included in your plan according to the billing system.

Blocked Incoming Calls & Hotmail Issue

First of all, I would like to thank JCG02 for answering my questions; this is my first time to use Iphone and use this communities. Acturally JCG02 was completely right, I should mark it as correct; I thought helpful was more accurate because the answer helped me....thank you very much.
Right now I got some other questions:
1. I found I got two missed blocked phone; but I did not block any incoming call, how did it happened and how I could remove the blocking function?
2. I would like to check my emails on my phone, I had two email addresses in the phone, how I manage them, so far, I could not read any emails on my phone yet and how to check different mail box if you have more than two email addresses?
Thank you very much

it just means someone has decided not to show his/her number when calling you. not much you can do about it. someone has done the same to me..although the number isn't blocked--they just don't say anything (started when I got my new number). contacted ATT and they said they can't block specific numbers so all you can do is answer it or ignore it really. hope an iphone update in the future will allow you to block certain numbers.
