How do I send a call directly to voicemail every time a specific number calls me?

I want to be able to have voicemail directly intercept calls from one specific number and I can't figure out how to do this. It was super simple on my old Android phone. You simply selected which numbers you wanted to add to your blocked call list and they went directly to voicemail. How can I do this on my iPhone?

There is no blocked call listing for the iPhone. True call blocking is only handled at the carrier level. Even as you describe the Android solution sends the call to voicemail, not actually blocking it. Check with your carrier and see if they provide blocking services. Most charge a fee for this service. A workaround similar to what you describe for the Andriod phone is setting a custom silent ringtone for the selected contact and thus you would not notice the phone ringing and the call would go to voicemail without any input from you. The only other solution is to press the sleep/wake button and that silences the ring and the call will go to voicemail, or press it twice and it goes straight to voicemail.

  • How do I stop Verizon from pushing "Verizon Caller Name ID"?  Every time I get a call it says my trial has expired.  I say I don't want it but the same message keeps coming back.

    The last time this happened I hit the wrong button and wound up subscribing.  So I had to go on-line and cancel.  And I will have to check to assure that it has been cancelled because I have had many cancellation requests ignored in the past.

    Go into your phone menu => apps and select the app and disable it. You won't get the message anymore.

  • Every time I update iOS caller ID is deactivated

    Every time I update iOS caller ID is deactivated in Settings > Phone > Show my caller ID
    That means that I have to activate the setting after every update. Why is this bug happening, can I do anything to prevent it, and how will I notify Apple about this error?

    Speaking very generally, each update of any software tends to have a few more features than its predecessor, and should be expected to take more space.
    But putting that aside, if you get told "I didn't have any more MB left!", then there is a real issue, because you should never allow your iPad to get that close to being full.  At a minimum, you should keep 10-15% of the space free.

  • How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

    How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
    I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
    Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouT

    Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouTube for instance works just fine Siri  works just fine. I can't make a call or receive a call whatsoever because all I hear is static and I haven't dropped the phone in water nothing has really happened this literally happened overnight

    This is a wireless carrier issue.  The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
    Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue.

  • How do I get ical to stop popping up every time someone accepts an invitation

    How do I get ical to stop popping up every time someone accepts an invitation?
    Every time I get an someone accepts and ical invitation, the iCal app pops up over everything on my screen. I cannot find a way to turn off this behavior and it's amazingly disruptive.
    I do still want to be notified about up-coming meetings, and I still want invitations emailed to me to populate in my calendar, and I still want ical to capture if people have responded to my events…I just don’t want my calendar to take over my screen every time they do. 
    There does not seem to be anything in preferences that addresses this.
    HELP!

    This infuriates me too - I am really keen to find an answer to this! The notifications that appear 'Growl-like' in the top right corner are fine, it's the fact that iCal takes over the entire desktop and prevents me from working that really annoys me! Please, how do I turn that off?

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

  • Tracking every time a method is called in some object?

    Hi,
    I would like to use reflection to log every time some method is called in an object.
    Example;
    public class A {
    public void x () { }
    public void y () { }
    I would like some automatic mechanism that would allow me to register this object such that every time method x() is called, I have a System.out.println (or some other logging) saying "method 'x' called" and the same for every time method y() is called ... without having to modify the body of each method I want to track. If I have to put my logging calls into every method, then it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to accomplish.
    Thank you,
    Gene

    If your method calls are through an interface, set up a proxy that logs the calls using java.lang.reflect.Proxy.
    If they're through a class, you can't use reflection and need to either use code generation or bytecode manipulation (either roll your own or use an aspect oriented programming kit - logging is the canonical AOP example).
