How do I decline unknown numbers / blocked calls?

How do I decline unknown number / blocked number phone calls? The function of accepting / rejecting or answering with a message does not come up in these instances. It only appears to work when a number shows up.
I have to let the phone ring out till the caller hangs up. I would like to be able to decline the call immediately as it is normally some tele-sales person.

Pressing the power button twice will reject the call and send it to voice mail.

No one likes those annoying restricted calls. Let me enlighten you on how to stop those calls once and for all.

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.

Correct.

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.

Stop answering calls with blocked numbers. If it's someone who really wants to talk to you, they'll leave you a message and you can call them back.

Contact your carrier to see if they offer call blocking services.
If you just don't want to be bothered, you can set a custom ringtone for all of your contacts, then create or download a "silent" ringtone and set a custom vibration pattern of "none" and assign them as the default ringtone and vibration pattern. This won't actually block the calls, but you won't hear it ring and they will roll to voicemail.

How to block calls & texts from one telephone number

How to block calls & texts from one telephone number

Call number blocking is done only by the carrier. Some carriers allow users to input numbers to be blocked on a website.
Verizon allows users to list up to five numbers to be blocked for free for 90 days by entering them in the users My Verizon site. I've found that 90 days has been sufficient to discourage most nuisance calls. But Verizon also provides a service ( for a fee) that will permanently block a number.
So contact your carrier to see what they offer.

Renewing blocks on specific numbers for calls and messages

I need to renew existing blocks on specific numbers that show an expiration date of today (8/1/11) How do I do that? The numbers still show on the lines, but I have no way of verifying that the blocks are still in place or removed. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Cgriff,
The free Call and Message block that we offer lasts 90 days. However, please note that you are able to change this at any time. For example, the block can be removed before the 90 days is up. In your case, you mention that you want to renew the block. Youc an do so by going in and removing, then re-adding the block. This starts a new 90-day block. It is easier tis way, since you can change the information whenever you want. Below are the steps to follow, for your convenience.
Call and Message Blocking can be added/removed online by signing in to My Verizon using your Account Owner user ID and password and doing the following:
1.        Click on “Block Calls & Messages” icon located under “Plan” in the “I Want To” section at the bottom of your home page.
2.        Click on the “Call and Message Blocking” tab (next to Parental Controls.)
3.        Enter up to five 10-digit numbers under the Call and Message Block tab and click "Apply" once completed.
We also offer Usage Controls, which does so much more than Call and Message Blocking. You can find the information for Usage Controls here:

How can I block calls on my G3 when Verizon took away that functionality?

I find it very interesting that I used to receive a small amount of SPAM calls/texts on my old phone (older version of Android) but once I updated my phone last August, after waiting for years to find the options, design, and features that I wanted, to the LGG3 through Verizon I am receiving these calls at least once a week and sometimes several times a week. I ordered the G3 specifically because of the design and features. One of these features was the ability to block calls from the call settings menu. Unfortunately it appears that Verizon has taken away my choice to be able to do that by removing this feature from the Android OS on the G3 (and possibly other phones as well from my reading of these forums and other media online) Verizon tells me that I can block up to 5 numbers for a period of 90 days for free but if I want to block a number permanently I need to pay for their service at $5 a month and even then it is only up to 20 numbers. Sounds a little suspicious to me in that I should be able to do a block for free on my phone but yet Verizon wants me to pay up to $60 per year to use their service when they are the ones sharing my number pursuant to their privacy policy. I want the functionality back on my phone. This is probably part of the reason that the new android update is not working for most people as I can only speculate that Verizon has most likely "piece-mealed" the update to comply with features that they believe we need and allows them to add to their bottom line instead of letting the consumer decide what they want.

Called well actually chatted with Tech Support this morning...the option is not there and Tech Support of course would not admit that Verizon contracted with LG to have their phones produced without that option (though I explained T-Mobile G3 has the option) Tech support started wanting to change my plan to lower my plan price to offset the cost of Family Base-- I called ** on this --no changes made. Was given a number to contact LG but I doubt that will get me anywhere as well; what about the Mister Number app? I heard that was supposed to be a good one as well....but anyway I quite frankly told the representative that I could only believe that this was greed on Verizon's part since the functionality was removed but in order to use the functionality I have to pay for it on their site and that I refused to do so. Like you stated I should not have to pay for privacy. Very frustrating; she also tried telling me that there may be an update in the future that may change this on my device but she couldn't speak to when; again I am calling **...I have heard nothing but bad news on the Lollipop update and wont be doing that until I see all the bugs are worked out
