how do you block calls to your Iphone?

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.

HT1688 How can I block calls with my IPHONE

Researching the internet shows that you have to jail break the IPHONE to be able to block phone numbers. Did the designers forget to design the application with the IPHONE? There has to be a way to block phone numbers without jail breaking the phone. Just about every cell phone out there has that ability, why not the IPHONE?

FYI:
No cell phone has the ability to block calls/sms's...none. True blocking must be done by the carrier, as there is no other way to block calls/sms's.

How do I block calls on my iPhone?

I keep getting multiple calls from the same number and since it is an automated message, I can't call back and ask them to stop calling me.
I know apple doesn't have a function that allows iPhones to block calls so I was wondering, what is the best way to solve this?

Create a silent ringtone and assign it to that number, or pay AT$T $5 a month for the privilege.

How do you block a caller

How do you block a number?

Hi Steve359,
Why should I be required to take time away to go to Verizon's website when all this could be handled locally on the phone taking only a few seconds of time.
1. When people say block a call, many times they are just trying to block spam or wrong numbers. If it's persoanl issue or threats then yes have Verizon step in if legal action is need it's the user that initiates this. My suggestion is not meant for those in that situation.
2. Verion, per your notes above, is limited to 5 numbers blocked and you need to renew. Again have the Iphone software handle the users preference which typcially is just ignore the number. I've gotten over 4 spams in Nov. alone as I use my phone for biz and life in general. I expect even more in December with all the holiday spammers gearing up. I can hear them buying server hardware on Cyber Monday deals just to increase spam capacity for Xmass hahaha hohoho.
3. If you get a text message from spammer, allow the user would have to do is identify it as spam and send to a junk or spam folder. Keep tabs of the number and any text or Vmail for later. Let user decide what length to hold it or delete it instantly.
4. Many spammers roll through phone numbers quickly so the numbers are constantly changing. Handle this in software so you do not limit users to what the carrier limits. Many of the Do Not Call laws were created from results of court cases and protection of individuals so why depend on that system for simple spam? Spam is a growing problem and you need to update how you handle it.
If you do it on the iphone, I get the feeling that Apple is not interested in adding this type of feature, you are not limited to 5 every three months, you don't have to renew, and the user gets more control and options. Something like this would help.
1. Once a text comes in that is spam, send it to spam folder. That number and message is stored on iphone.
User can indicate ignore all messages, Note I'm not saying block!!!!!, the message is saved until deleted just in case "Do not call List or legal or carrier action is needed and you need to show proof" Next tiem spam is sent from that number it'll automatically go to that folder.
2. Incoming calls handled same way, allow user to indicate if they get rings from spam folder or if no action is needed. Keep it stupid simple! Note a time in the recent call list and indicate it was spam.
So the question I have, why go through the hassle of calling carrier when Apple should have a spam option in the software? Let the carrier and legal system handle the bad stuff and let Apple handle the easy spam filtering.
True blocking calls should go to carier while spam should be handled by the user preference via software.

How do you block certain outgoing calls?

How do you block outgoing calls? I know how to block incoming calls, but how do i make it to where i cannot make outgoing calls to that same certain number?

The easiest thing is to just not call the number. You can set up blocks with Usage Controls; it costs $4.99 per month:

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

HT4528 How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s

How do you delete 'SAVED MESSAGES' on iPhone 5s? It's taking up about 10GB of 32 GB capacity.

After much searching on the web and reading many (sometimes amusing) posts on this topic here is what I have found.
In Settings>General>Usage my saved mesages were using 3.2Gb and no apparently immediate way of deleting them.
However as the good book says "seek and ye shall find".
SO this is where I went:
Settings>iCloud>Account> then scroll down to ADVANCED and select Mail; again scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced and yet again scroll to the bottom (well at least to DELETED MESSAGES) and tap on the line called Remove.
Here at last you will find a setting that enables you to select the period after which iOS will remove your deleted messages.
The shortest period is one day so you will haev to wait 24 hours to finally have that memory back but it should work and is a nice feature in iOS although it is well burried!!

How do you block junk mail

How do you block junk mail. I sync to my work email and it is blocked on that server but I get junk mail on my phone.

There is no setting on the iPhone. That is what I told you in the first post. Your email client on the computer probably has a junk filter built in or something you can set. The only way to filter email on the iPhone is at the server.

How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!
