How can we encourage Apple to develop blocking calls from specific numbers?

Looking through posts on here, I see that neither AT&T nor the iPhone itself permits an iPhone owner to block calls from one or more specific numbers.
For some reason, although I've had my mobile number for years, I've recently started to receive daily calls from one specific number, an ignorant person who calls at all times of the day and night, barely apologizing for yet again dialing incorrectly. Very annoying.
Yes, I know I could change my number, but literally hundreds of people have used this number for years, and I'm truly loathe to start over.
In reading posts here and on AT&T, I gather this is not an uncommon problem. I assume that even if AT&T is unwilling to institute call blocking, this is a problem Apple could solve with iPhone software. What's the best way to encourage Apple to include this in a future iPhone software update?
In advance, thanks for your guidance.

This would be something ATT would have to do since they provide the actual phone service.
In the meantime, you could create a ringtone of "silence" and assign it to that person's number. This way you wouldn't be disturbed when the person calls until you can work out a solution with ATT.

  • How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

    How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts?  I have a LG accolade

    I recommend checking your  prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature. 
    With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
    -Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
    -Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
    -Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
    Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
    * For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
    * For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
    * For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

  • How can i measure BAPI runtime which has called from JAVA

    Hi abapers
    how can i get run time for BAPI called from JAVA through JCO.
    i know that i can use SE30 from ABAP by executing from SAP.
    may be ST05 useful for me i did it but when display trace
    i am getting big list by seeing this list i am not able to find the runtime for that BAPI.
    please any one can explain
    reagdrs
    ramesh

    Hi Ramesh,
       Irrespective of whether the call is from an external system or within sap, the bapi will be executed in R/3 only.
    So, you can safely measure the runtime using se30 only.
    If it is taking more time when called from JCo , then you can be sure that the problem is not with SAP and is actually due to the JCo connectivity with R/3.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • TS2755 is there a way to block texts from specific numbers to imessage with out turning imessage off?

    is there any way to block text from specific numbers to imessage without turning imessage off?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle next to the email address this girl is sending iMessage to and select Remove This Email.
    If she has your cell phone number, she can switch to sending iMessage to that and there will be nothing you can do, but removing the email address will prevent you from receiving an iMessage addressed to that email address.

  • 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.

  • Blocking call from some numbers in Black berry 9220

    I want to know how to block calls from a specific number. I would also like to block SMS from the number.
    I would like to know what kind of app is available for black berry 9220 for the same. Can experts please suggest.

    There are some options under Settings >Firewall. Open the Settings menu and type Firewall in the search bar. There you can block text messages. Be aware that you will still be charged for the message over the network but the device won't display the message. To keep from being charged for the message you'd need to contact your wireless service provider.
    As for phone number blocking you would have to go to Phone >Options. There is a call blocking feature but your provider must support it.

  • Blocking calls from Unknown numbers?

    Hello all,
    Is there any option/application in iPhone 4S, IOS6.1.3 where I  can block any calls from unknown numbers?
    Specifying exactly, I want to receive calls from people only those whose numbers are saved in my phone or say Saved Contacts Only.
    Nobody other than that should be able to call me.
    That would be of a great help.

  • How Can I Keep My 8800 On "Silent" But Let Specific Numbers Ring Audibly?

    I need to allow my BlackBerry 8800 ring loudly at night for specific numbers (I'm on a search and rescue team,) but I don't want to completely set the phone on "Loud" because there are some people who call my number by accident at any time from 2am through 6am. Can I set my phone so that I can keep it on "Silent" but still let a few numbers ring through with the audible ringer? How can I do this? I don't mind being woken at 2am for an emergency, but not because someone keeps calling me by mistake. Please help!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, open the profiles and set exceptions in the advanced area for those contacts you need to let through.

  • Blocking calls from restricted numbers

    There needs to be an option to block restricted numbers from calling you. All I can find is where you can block specific numbers, but that specific number can still call you simply by putting a block on their number. That defeats the purpose of offering that option...

    YouMail is a free voicemail service that gives you a workaround for dealing with restricted or blocked numbers.  It's called "DitchMail" - when it sees a blocked or restricted number, the caller gets a recorded message (yours, or DitchMail's default) saying that you do not accept calls from blocked numbers, please unblock and try again - and then it hangs up without giving the caller an opportunity to leave a message.
    It doesn't prevent the call from coming in - but it does deal with it so you don't have to.  If you see a blocked number coming in, you can always hit End or Ignore, sending them straight to VM or DitchMail.

  • How can I send Apple a letter of complaint from my iPad?

    I have some serious problems with a new app that I recently purchased and am not exactly sure why Apple felt it was appropriate for the app store.  I would like to communicate this to Apple, but I have only found instructions that require me to sign into iTunes from a computer. Surely there's a way to do it from my iPad. Anyone know how?

    The parent can set up restrictions on the app store, or not tell them your Apple ID password. Inappropriate content should also come up with a warning saying that the material is suggested for people over 17 years old as well. There are plenty of ways to control your children on the iPad.

  • How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

    My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list.  But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed".  It is greyed out and will not go away.  Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated. 

    All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
    But you can try:
    Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
    Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
    Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
    NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

  • How can we bug Apple to enable temp readouts?

    I've read somewhere that Apple has said that they will enable temperature readings in the new Macbook Pros if there is enough interest. How can I express my interest to them?

    Even if there is no way for the software to control the fans, surely Intel must have inclduded a temperature readout of some sort for the CPU, otherwise how can they control the fans? Blocking software from accessing the temperature values seems simply stupid, imo (and either way ought to be able to be remedied by a BIOS... erm... EFI firmware upgrade?).
    I was aware that the harddrive had a temp reading, though, but that's placed quite a long way from the CPU and imo is nowhere near as warm.
    Still, isn't there a direct channel to Apple to voice an opinion on this? (Apart from this forum, which god knows who reads.)

  • How can I run a vi developed with 7 Express?

    How can I run a vi developed with LabView 7 Express on another machine ? Do runtime versions exist ?

    Apparently, you want to run it on a machine that does not have LabVIEW installed.
    To make a standalone executable of your LabVIEW program, you need to have the Application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and higher, avaliable as an add-on for base and full).
    To run the application, the target system need to have the LabVIEW 7.0 runtime installed (available as a free download).
    There is also the LabVIEW Player. In this case you need to digitally sign your VIs and there are a few limitations. It is meant for for sharing code ideas and is not a viable substitute for the appl
    ication builder.
    Of course you could also get a second copy of LabVIEW.
    Some other options that would work in a very narrow set of situations: Read your LabVIEW license agreement. Under certain conditions you are allowed to install a second copy of LabVIEW on your home computer. If this is for personal educational use only and you qualify, you could also buy the LabVIEW student edition.
    LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .
