How do I bar specific incoming numbers from calling my iPhone?

Hi.
Recently, I have been getting persistent scam calls from various people trying to sell me "T-mobile upgrades" (for my O2 based UK iPhone 3G S!) and other scam nonsense. Not sure if it relates to the new mobile/cellphone number directory that launched (and then crashed!) in the UK.
Anyway, I have noticed that one or two numbers persist in calling me, and I want to block them from being able to do this. I think this may be called "call barring" (?), but can find no way of doing this on my iPhone.
Does anyone know of a way that I can 'blacklist' certain incoming phone numbers? Is this hidden somewhere in the dark recesses of the iPhone settings? Or is there an App I can purchase?
All help gratefully received, because these jokers are doing my head in!
Thanks,
A.

A solution I've used is an app just now available on iphone app store, called YouMail (dot com) It's FREE, and is a rockin' visual voicemail, plus tons of other features. One neat one is if you upload your contacts, when someone on your list calls, it answers and says "Hello (steve)..." in the announcement. EVERYONE asks how I do that.
Sign up, and on your PC, set up your account, including a list of BLOCKING numbers.
I used YouMail on my BB with great success, now on iPhone, not really needed.

  • How can i export my contacts numbers from my old iphone and import it to my new iphone?

    I want change my iphone,but i dont want to lose my numbers and datas!

    If Contacts are the only thing you care about, you can turn on iCloud on the old phone following the setup instructions in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and insure that you turn on Contacts in the list of items to be synced.
    You can verify that the contacts are uploaded to iCloud by then logging in to https://www.icloud.com
    On your new phone, when you setup iCloud and turn on Contacts, as you did on the old phone following the instructions above, the contacts will automatically sync to the new phone.
    If you want to transfer more than just contacts, the following has instructions on how to backup the old phone and restore to the new one (either using iCloud or iTunes): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

    I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
    One Parallels Virtual Machine
    My old mail
    My iPhoto Library
    I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
    I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.
    How can I get specific data back from the backup without restoring all stuff that I don't want anymore?
    I'm now working on a new account on the fresh system, called 'Admin'. My old account was called 'Hans' (or 'hans') and I'd like to create such an account again for all my tasks.

    You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
    You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

  • How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

    8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
    When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
    The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
       1.
          To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
       2.
          Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
          /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       3.
          Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE      2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            3>  TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
       4.
          Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
          SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
          SEQUENCE# APP
          8 YES
          9 YES
          10 YES
          11 YES
          4 rows selected.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
       5.
          Shut down the standby database:
          SQL> SHUTDOWN;
       6.
          Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       7.
          Start and mount the standby database:
          SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
       8.
          Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
       9.
          On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
            2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'Hope That Helps.

  • HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

    How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

    Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
    I am not sure what you mean by:
    It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
    Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
    If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
    Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

  • How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

    How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
    I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
    HELP!

    Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

  • How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option?

    How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?

    Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.
