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.

    Contact your wireless carrier for IMEI blocking. If you did not have a passcode on your
    iPhone, immediately change the passwords to all accounts you accessed
    while using your iPhone.

  • How can I earn money with my iPhone application?

    Hello everybody!

    Basically, Navizon adds to the basic location services of your iPhone. Your handset can determine your location using a combination of cell towers, Wi-Fi, and GPS, but using the included Maps application, you have no way of knowing which is active at any given time. Navizon displays your position (on Yahoo!, rather than Google Maps), but it also displays a little badge to let you know which method is being used to determine where you are. That way I know, for example, why the map was showing me as located three blocks North of where I actually am. The answer? My phone was only using cell tower data to find me. You can also take advantage of built-in buddy features to locate friends or family, if they’re using Navizon’s service. You can also configure alerts by logging on to the website to receive notifications by email or web when your buddies enter into specific areas you designate. The most interesting feature of the app, one that I hinted at earlier, is how you can receive cash rewards for using it. In order to continue to build out their extensive database of cell and Wi-Fi towers, Navizon is offering a rewards system similar to air miles, but without the free flights. Instead, compensation is based on accumulating enough points. Also, in this case, it’s actually the number of towers, not the number of miles you’re being rewarded for. For first-time finds, you get 15 points for every cell tower mapped, and 3 for every Wi-Fi access point. If they’ve already been found before, you get 2 for every cell tower and 1 for every access point. Once you’ve accumulated 10,000, Navizon will wire $10 to your bank account.
    No, you can’t retire on that kind of money, but if you’re already using your phone to log trails or track your pals, it pays more than the competition, at least. You can get the Lite version [iTunes] in the App Store for free, while the full version [iTunes] costs $9.99. 10,000 points and it pays for itself!

  • HT1688 Can I block calls with iPhone 5?

    Is there a way to block calls and messages to iPhone 5?

    There is nothing native to the iPhone 5 to block phone calls. Phone call blocking is generally handled at the carrier level. Check with your carrier and see if they provide blocking services.

  • 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

  • HT1688 How can I set up my new iPhone to sync with my iPad

    I recently lost my iPhone so I went through insurance to get a new one. I know my iPhone wasn't backed up to iCloud in a while but my iPad is still up to date. How can I get my new iPhone to be the same as my iPad?

    iDevices do not sync with one another, never have.
    All content should be in iTunes on the computer, connect the new iPhone to the computer and either restore it from the most recent backup of the old iPhone or set up as new and sync the desired content to the device.

  • I have a work Itunes and a home Itunes how can I use both with my Iphone?

    I have an Itunes on my work computer and another on my home, but my new Iphone will only allow me to add music from one of the Itunes.  I have purchased music on both Itunes how can I get this to work?

    You can only sync with one computer. If you have the same account on both computers you can transfer all of your purchased music to one of them, then sync with that one.

    You can't do it iPhone to iPhone. You could sync your Outlook with Google Calendar (it's free), and he could sync his iPhone with Google Calendar.

  • 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.
