If you blocked the number via your on-line MyVerizon account (where you can block up to five numbers free for 90 days), that won't keep anyone on your plan from calling the number, it blocks the number from calling you.  If that blocked number and your phone are both iPhones, then they can still text through iMessage since it doesn't go through Verizon's system.

  • If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    Depends on whether you are using the same iCloud account on the device, or if you are syncing Contacts via iTunes, if you are syncing both devices to the same computer.
    When you block someone, no matter which application you "launch" the block from (Messages, Phone, FaceTime) you are blocking the Contact. So, any app that uses that contact will see it as a blocked contact and will block any incoming activity to that app from that contact.

  • Block one phone number

    Can I block one phone number on my phone

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    The native software in the Blackberry doesn't have that function.
    1) If the phone number poses any threat to you. Call your carrier and have them block the number permanently.
    2) If the phone number is just a nuisance i.e.. bill collector, phone sales etc I  would use a call manager app. Look in AppWorld under call manager. Some are free. I haven't test one in about 2 years so I can't recommend one.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Can i have multiple iphones with the same phone number?

    If I upgrade to iPhone6 can I: a) keep my 4s operational with the same phone number; or b) must I get a new number for one of the two?

    I don't believe your cellular provider will provision 2 SIM cards with the same number. You can forward calls, if your carrier supports it, from one phone to the other depending on which one you have with you.

  • Does ios6 allow you to block a phone number from being received in the future?

    I know that previous versions of iOS did not provide the ability to block a phone number in the "Call History" menu from ever being received again, but what about iOS6?

    Hey Paul,
    Michael is right, you can easily get around it by simply assigning a silent ringtone.
    Google "silent ringtone" (don't pay for it, you can find it free) and download it. I've created an "Annoying Cr@p"
    "contact" that I've assigned the silent ringtone to and I simply cut and paste the numbers I want blocked into it.
    No more salesmen, political party calls, etc.- the phone does light up when they call, but you hear nothing- and usually miss them all together.  I've assigned a nice little image of a stuffed dog pooh to it (google "poop toy"), and when someone does see it (as one of my co-workers saw it light up on my desk once) it makes for a *great* laugh.
    Works like a champ.  Takes minutes. 

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

    If you use a GSM carrier, Settings>Phone>Caller ID>Off. If you use a CDMA carrier, you'll need to find out the codes you dial ahead of the number to block it.

  • How to block a phone number

    I need to know how to block a phone number. and also how to block all incoming calls, showing as a "unknown number?"

    Tap the setting button on your iPhone. Press the phone button, After tap show my caller ID and then change it to off. To turn it back on do the same thing.
    This will not block any calls. It will only turn off caller id ,therefore not showing your caller id to those you call.
    Only the wireless provider can block calls.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

    Does my Iphone 4G with Swiss Orange phone number work in Japan?

    If your phone is officially unlocked, you can purchase a pre-paid sim from SoftBank & it will work just fine. If not officially unlocked, it will still work, but cost a small fortune as you'll be roaming. You'd have to setup International Provisioning with Orange before you went to Japan if your phone is not officially unlocked.

  • How to cause them to associate my Case Number 185689167 with the real phone number I need to be called at:

    I purchased a one year subscription to Acrobat Pro, and after installation on my MacBook, in the LaunchPad (aside from the normal Adobe Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Distiller, and Forms Central for Acrobat) a folder containing two icons.  The first was (I forgot the name) and the second entitled AAMLauncherUtil.  Shortly after installation I ran the AAMLauncher Util, and it downloaded and "updated" Acrobat Pro and installed Creative Cloud.  I was told by some person in Tech Support that I didn't need these two additional icons in LaunchPad, and I could just drag them to the trash.
    The folder would not go in the Trash, so I dragged them out of the folder and then the one whose name I don't remember was able to go to the Trash, but not the AAMLauncherUtil icon.
    I called Tech Support again, and got a technician whose name I will withhold, but although he tried to solve the problem, basically he was clueless and I could hear him asking other people in the background what to do and they were giving him suggestions, mucking around my library and deleting anything that sounded like it was associated with AAMLaucher, and in the end all he succeeded in doing was making my Creative Cloud not work anymore and produce messages that it was corrupted and had to be removed and reinstalled.  Finally he gave up and said that he was referring my Case 185689167 to the next level higher of tech support, who would call me within 24 hours.  Of course they never did that so I called Apple Support and a representative there went way beyond what he needed to do and we were able to uninstall and reinstall Creative Cloud and make it work again, although the AAMLaucherUtil icon remains there.  Currently, it doesn't update anything like it did the first time I ran it, or act like it is trying to update anything, but it does open Creative Cloud if you have closed it. 
    Several days later (not the promised 24 hours) I got an email from my Voicemail Service with a  transcribed message from Adobe Tech Support saying that they had tried to call me... at the number listed in my subscription payment details... NOT at the number I had told them to call me at, and since I am 7000 miles away from my billing number I didn't get the call.  The message requested me to call them back.  I did so, and the message on the VRU said I would have to wait approximately 30 minutes. Two and one half hours later (not 30 minutes) someone answered who was not Second Level Tech Support, and reiterated that it was not possible to transfer me to them, and he would note that I had called back and they would call me within 24 hours.... yeah right.  By then after waiting all that time to speak to someone I was so mad that I forgot to mention the correct number to call me at... although I had mentioned it previously.  Several days later (not 24 hours) they called the wrong number again, and when I didn't answer it then sent me an email that they were considering the case solved and closing it, and I could reopen it within 14 days. 
    I then called back and this time waiting 3 hours on hold, and the person who I spoke with (whose name I withhold for now) said he would reopen the case and they would call me within 24 hours... again he couldn't transfer me to them.  Again I forgot to reiterate the correct phone number that I had told them the first time since I was so mad about waiting 3 hours on hold.
    The next day, I realized that I had not reiterated the correct phone number, and I went into my account settings and changed the phone number in both places it exists, and then tried calling back to make sure they would call the correct phone number.  This time I waited on hold for 4 hours, and finally gave up without ever being able to speak to a person.
    The next day... still no call even to the wrong number since my Voice Mail would have informed me it there was a call.... I called Sales since that seemed to be the only way to talk to a real person, and screamed at them about this issue and was informed they couldn't do anything about Tech Support, or about associating my phone number with my case number, but he would put me in the queue for tech support since nobody was in the queue so they should call me back right away. 
    I did get a call in a few minutes, which said "If Valued Customer is available, press 1" so I pressed 1 and it went to music.  I then waited for 15 minutes of music with no answer, after which I got an email from my Voicemail Service transcribing the message saying:
    "Reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine. Your response was not recognized. Please try again. When valued customer is on the line press one to speak to a support specialist. If you need time to get valued customer on the line press two. To reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine. Your response was not recognized. Please try again. When valued customer is on the line press one to speak to a support specialist. If you need time to get valued customer on the line press two. To reschedule this call back for a later time press three to cancel this call back press nine."
    ... more. Please listen to your voicemail for the remainder of this message.
    They can't recognize me pressing 1?????  So who know... I was listening to music but did that mean I was really ever going to reach a real person, or was the Voicemail message correct and I would be listening to music forever?
    So this morning I tried calling again only to receive message the the Tech Support Telephone Lines were down for scheduled maintenance until August 10th... I tried chatting... that is offline also.
    Is there a way to associate my actual phone number with my case number... maybe somebody from Adobe actually reads these diatribes?  I need to be called at or after 17:00 Pacific time.... I was told the hours are on Pacific Time.... although  one representative who I was trying to coordinate the timing of the call with was very confused about the time zones. He was trying to tell me that the current time was 09:00 Pacific Time, which I knew to be wrong, and he finally admitted, after I challenged him to look on www.timeanddate.com, that it was  09:00 in Bangalore, and Pacific time was 20:00.

    Thanks for your answer TSN!
    I did try Chat yesterday and it didn't work.... said unavailable.  I'll will try it again. 
    I do understand that this is a Community Forum, but it appears that some Adobe staff persons do read and respond to some messages, so since all other avenues of contact seem to not work, I thought I would try this just in case somebody from Adobe happened to read it and could do something.
    A secondary reason I posted the whole explanation is that I thought maybe somebody else had experienced this issue as well and might comment on it.
    As for it being a problem or not, maybe it is not.  Adobe did work when I installed it.  When I invoked that icon "AAMLauncherUtil" the first time, it updated Acrobat Pro and Installed Creative Cloud (which the original trial subscription had not installed).
    I then noticed that these two icons didn't seem to do anything useful.  The first time I called and was able to connect to support, the rather poor attitude person who answered just said to delete both icons in the folder... that they weren't needed.  When I found that one of them could be deleted and not the other one "AAMLauncherUtil" could not be deleted, and since the tech support person had suggested deleting them both, I called back.
    The next rather clueless person in tech support spent a lot of time trying to help get rid of it, but couldn't.  When he was mucking around in the "Library" he deleted everything named "AAMLauncherUtil" from the Library (but left some stuff I would have imagined could have been deleted like references to my previous trial subscription.
    After he got done, Creative Cloud no longer worked and he couldn't figure out how to fix it... we were getting messages the Creative Cloud was corrupted and needed to be uninstalled.  He said he was going to refer the problem to a  higher level tech support, and that he couldn't transfer me there... they would have to call me which would be in 24 hours.
    The next day (since the higher level tech support failed to call back) I called Apple Support, and they helped me find a Creative Cloud Uninstaller and we ran that and re-downloaded and installed Creative Cloud again.
    I would expect from the name "AAMLauncherUtil" that this icon would Launch Adobe Application Manager and perhaps try to update my product(s) like it did the first time, OR report that my software is up to date... as most other software update attempts would do.  However what it really does now when I invoke the "AAMLauncherUtil" icon is just to open Creative Cloud just as if I had clicked on the icon in the top menu bar of my Apple Menu Bar.  The Apple person suggested that MAYBE it is supposed to do that if you have shut down Creative Cloud for some reason, and want to start it up again without restarting the computer.  Maybe that is so, but if it is, then I would have expected that they would have renamed the icon to Creative Cloud or something more descriptive of what it is supposed to do.
    As is is now, I am not sure if it is a leftover remnant of my original updated installation that should have gone away when I updated and it installed Creative Cloud, or if everyone else running Adobe Acrobat Pro XI has this icon in their Launchpad as well and it is supposed to be there for some unknown reason to perform some unknown function.
    After all that happened, I did update Creative Cloud, but that was within Creative Cloud itself when it reported having an update available, and not using the "AAMLauncherUtil" icon at all, so that would appear to negate it's possible update functionality wouldn't it?
    Assuming you are using a Mac, do you have such an icon in LaunchPad?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Help with iPad Identifying Phone Numbers in iMessage Send & Receive Settings / iMessage Syncing Help - iOS 6 - iPhone - iPad

    With iOS6, iPhone and iPad users will see that their Send & Receive iMessage settings have updated across their devices to be made available at both phone numbers and email addresses. You may have also seen alerts on one or more of your devices advising that another device is now using the same Apple ID/phone number for iMessage.
    Being able to be reached on iMessage on both Apple ID and phone numbers across devices means that iMessage can keep the same thread and sync across devices.
    Due to having 2 iPhones on different phone numbers running along side my iPad at one time, (whilst I was waiting for my phone number to be moved to a new provider), my iMessage settings on my iPad lost my phone number completely. I thought I would document the steps to recover this for anyone in the same boat.
    1. Check that you are signed in with the same iCloud Account on both iPad and iPhone.
    2. Turn off iMessage on your iPad from Settings > Messages.
    3. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. You should see your phone number and your iCloud email address in the 'Your can be reached by iMessage at:' list. Make sure both are ticked.
    4. At this point, I synced my iPhone with iTunes, then synced my iPad with iTunes.
    5. On your iPad, turn iMessage back on - your phone number should now show in the 'You can be reached by iMessage at:' list. Tick the phone number. You should receive an alert on your iPhone.
    This should resolve the issue.
    With the above set up and with the iOS 6 updates, iMessage should now sync fine across devices however I have still found the most successful way to run iMessage is to always start new conversations from your Apple ID and to start new threads by addressing the first message to an Apple ID from an Apple ID.
    To do this, go to Settings > iMessage > Send & Receive and tick your Apple ID in the 'Start new conversations from:' list, then start a new iMessage thread to the recipients Apple ID. This way, the thread will sync across iPad and iPhone. Note that a thread set up this way will not fall back on SMS, so you get a clean iMessage thread. This method also worked/works on iOS 5, as long as you send the first message of a new thread from an iPad (which can only send via Apple ID) to an Apple ID.
    Hopefully this helped someone!
