how to block private incoming calls on my i phone4

It might not be any use to your situation but I find adding a default ringtone to those unwanted callers helps me decide whether or not to pick up the phone.
If it's cold callers that trouble you I would defintely reccomend this option.
If they know your not answering they will (although it may take some time) leave you alone.

  • IOs 5.0.1. - Iphone4 does not respond to incoming calls

    Hi, everyone!
    I have a problem with my Iphone 4, 16Gb, iOs 5.0.1
    After the update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 my Iphone4 does not respond to incoming calls, they do not even appear on the screen.
    I also can not cancel my outgoing call - the phone freezes. The only thing that helped me - settings reset, but two days later this problem appeared again.
    How to solve the problem?

    The problem arose after updating iOs through wifi.
    After restoring the firmware via a standard way through Itunes - Iphone started to work without any problems.

  • I have an iphone4 and i can only hear calls when i use speakerphone.  I'm trying a master reset but how do i back up my contacts from my address book??

    I have an iphone4 and I can only hear calls when I put them on speakerphone.  The people I'm on the phone with can hear me I just cant hear them.  I am about to try a master reset but how do i backup my contacts from my address book? Does itunes do that when i backed up the rest of the stuff on my phone?

    Back it up in iTunes! Just make a backup of the entire device but make sure you check sync contacts and the option to add contacts from phone to address book on computer.

  • My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

    My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?  It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list.  Can anyone help?  I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

    Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue.  I got a new phone and restored my contacts.  If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown.  I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
    I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

  • Iphone4 user, I  cannot hear incoming calls/text, please advise.

    I cannot hear incoming calls/text,  however, I am able to make calls/text.
    I did the sounds check (where it needs to be tested, and it works)
    Please advise.

    When you toggle the switch it will display an icon of a bell either with a line through it or not. You can double check this by looking at the link below:

  • Call to a Russian number blocked by Skype.

    Hello, I"m also getting calls to a mobile phone blocked.  I'm calling from the USA and trying to reach Russia.  I have a subscription, so money is not the object.  What IS the problem?

    I also dont know how to get keypress() in Form. but see UIDemo in WTK22/apps this might help u.
    u know how to call by directly entering the cell no.,
    platformRequest("tel:+919960120030");

    get the no. in TextBox using 'String no = tx.getString();'
    & use 'platformRequest(no);

  • I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

    I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

    "it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
    Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to?  That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
    If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

  • How do I determine who is calling me.  An unknown phone number is calling me late at night?  I want to find out who it is.

    How do I determine who is calling me.  An unknown phone number is calling me late at night?  I want to find out who it is.

    Yes, yes, yes. I am well aware about your line of Verizon is "THE Phone Company". Unfortunately, everyone was not subscribed  to "THE Phone Company" back before "THE Phone Company" was broken up. Some people have lines which were not in existence and have never been subscribers to "THE Phone Company". There are new area codes and numbers since "THE Phone Company" was broken up. I was unaware Straight Talk, T-Mobile, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, MagicJack, etc... automatically provide ALL of the private information of their subscribers to "THE Phone Company" simply so these other companies can exist. I was unaware "THE Phone Company" required each and every phone provider in the US to gather information for the USER of a phone when that USER was not the account owner. I don't remember giving my 15 year old daughter's information to "THE Phone Company" when I opened up her line 5 years ago. Obviously I did, since "THE Phone Company" has it as you would lead us to believe. I wasn't aware "THE Phone Company" required someone opening an account with 10 lines to provide the private user information for each and every one of those lines. When I opened up my 4 line account, I only remember giving out MY information. I don't remember validating everyone on the account was related to me. I don't remember giving out the names/DOB/SS #/etc... for everyone using the phones on my account. That information must have simply slipped my mind.
    For what it is worth, I never said they didn't have information on "every single number coming and going" thru their system. That is not the information being requested, though. The OP wants to know the name of the person making the call. If Verizon, aka "THE Phone Company" does not gather information on all users of a 10 line More Everything account from the account owner, where exactly are they getting this information. Furthermore, if they don't even gather this information of their own subscribers, why would you expect they have this information on the subscribers to other phone providers? It is not required to open a 10 line account. They do not run credit checks on all the users. They do not require SS#s on all of the users. They only require this information on the account owner. Are they staking out the account owner and following him/her to determine who is using the phones on his/her account? I guess I am simply too trusting.
    You speak of "back in the way old days". Well these are no longer the "way old days". Lines on an account can be scattered all over the US. The users of these phones aren't necessarily and more often every day not even related. "THE Phone Company" doesn't necessarily and is UNLIKELY to know the identity of the majority of people using phones on an account. The account owner, yes. Everyone else, NO. People making a call are just as likely using an area code/phone number of a location they don't even physically reside. "Back in the way old days" this was much less commonplace.
    Yes, they MAY be able to get the name of a caller, but it would take time and COULD take a considerable amount of time depending on the cooperation of the account owner.

  • I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone.

    I just upgraded to ios8 on my iphone4s. When I attempt to call from my car there's no ringtone. Only silence until the call is answered. Has anybody else had this problem? Has it got to do with the ios8 upgrade? (Actually 8.02)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

    My work computer (this mac) i use with my private icloud account so I have access to my private calendars etc. My husband's airbook is also connected to that icloud (since I only have 1 icloud account) and so is our shared ipad. Is that where the problem is? Do I need to change everything on those devises into my name too? Thanks again for you time and help!
    So you are sharing the account. Very bad idea.
    Get your husband his own account and stop sharing yours, they are free.

    if you have bought it secondhand ,then insert a simcard ,if it shows no reception,or say emergency calls only (when you try ringing out) then it would be blocked,there is also online sites ,(for a fee),you put in the imei number and it checks for you and shows the results if its blocked

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    So he start doing not sure what put me on hold each time and then he pops up a page higlighting a name by Midnight Gracie a few times that she or he had hacked your system and he will remove it for free.I trusted him since Netgear is a respectful company , Aftey 32 minutes he tells me i spoke to my supervisor and you pay one time lifetime fee of $399.00 charged to your credit card ,I said no way cant ,Then put me on hold again , came back said ok my supervisor said $299.00 to make story short he siad ok you are over 65 years old special price $49.00 and i will fix your system.Then i said no so he started loging out of my system but in the 32 minutes or more what did he do to my computer ?
    The guy sunded as a Philipino . Two guys after this scam since when he called me first i was driving and asked me to be called back , But when i got home i called him and the other guy asnwerd the phone and said ok the Technician that called you is here and talk to him,It it was Netgear how would you knopw who called.

    Please tey to help .
    Best regards

    1. I'd backup all of my personal data (only) and perform a clean install of OSX if I experienced your problem as no one here or elsewhere could guarantee your machine is free from compromise after that scenario. You should also change your Apple ID password if you haven't done this already.
    2. Ultimately trust no one other than yourself even though this is difficult if not impossible in the real world. There are measures you can take however which will lessen your chances of being compromised.
