HT4993 Blocking calls and messages?

Is there any way to block calls and messages from a specific number? Or is there an app to do so?

There is no "app for that" unfortunately as there is for Android and BB. However some carriers offer call blocking for a fee.

Block calls and messages on iphone

How do I block calls and some messages--am a verizon user of iphone 4s

You need to log onto your Verizon account (www.verizonwireless.com). One of the options on the main screen is blocking numbers. You can block up to, I believe, five for free. There are additional options that cost a monthly fee.

Why can't I block a number through the call and message blocking request?

Every time I try to insert a number, it keeps saying that they are unable to complete my requested change at this time.

Jezallygrace, I want to make sure you're able to block those unwanted calls and messages. If you're still having problems with the site, we'll need to verify the feature is on your account and possibly add the block for your. If you still need assistance, please send me a private message with your mobile number.

Sadly, as Call Bliss uses the built in Do Not Disturb feature, it requires that your screen be locked in order to function.
I'm hoping (and have submitted feedback) that Apple will beef up DND to work even when the screen isn't locked.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

No phone provides true call blocking. At best, they provide call diversion. Essentially, the call is answered and disconnected automatically. If I recall, Apple is adding call diversion features in iOS 7.
Best of luck.

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:

Thank you for your posting and have a good day!

Regarding blocking of unwanted calls and messages

how do i block unwanted calls and messages on my nokia asha 210..is there any utility available to do so??

Hi tangra,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
As what plepleple posted, this feature is not supported by the phone. We also checked that no application can be downloaded that has this feature.

What Ansuz said. However, if you are getting SMS spam call AT&T to get credit for it.
Additionally, if the spam is all coming from the same number you can notify AT&T and have that number blocked.

Hi
The problem is that you are making a re-entrant call back into a cache service from the service thread or worker thread of a cache service. This is a bad thing to do as you risk deadlocking your cluster by consuming all of the threads in the service. From the stack trace it looks like you are doing a get on a cache which is calling through to a cache store which is then doing a get on another cache.
For example, you have done a "get" on a cache, that has now consumed a worker thread (call it Thread-1), that thread is calling the cache store which is doing a get on another cache in the same cache service so will now consume another thread (call it Thread-2) so you now have two threads in use, Thread-1 will not return until Thread-2 completes. Now say you had 2 worker threads on your cache service and two "get" calls came in at the same time, Get-1 and Get-2. Both worker threads are now in use so when Get-1 calls the cache store to do a get on the other cache then it has to wait for a worker thread to become free to process the get. The same applies to Get-2, it is calling the cache store and waiting for a thread to become free. The problem is no threads will become free as they are all waiting. Hopefully that is a clear enough explanation of why you get the warning.
Read this Constraints on Re-entrant Calls - 12c (12.1.2) This is for 12.1.2 but the same applies for any Coherence version.

In "do not disturb" mode, I need it to never silent calls and messages

Hello,
I'm trying to figure this out, not that I'm on call again. Since "Do Not Disturb" has been out I have had my phone set to auto turn on nightly. Allowing Call and messages to come though. Thinking that was the case I never thought anymore of it. Last night I got a high ticket and miss it because it was in "Do Not Disturb".
So even thought it's set to allow all calls they still get blocked? Is there was to have the IOS7 Silent feature turned off. I have e-mails and other crap getting push to my phone for my pebble so I don't want to turn that off, just make the quite at night.
Am I SOL?
Any info on this would be great.

Hi,
You can turn the email arrival sound off in the settings. Thus you can still get phone calls but no email arrival sounds. more over, you can turn the notification for the emails off (at least make it no sound).
And I think do not disturb just mutes the rings for text or calls. it doesn't actually blocking them.
Hope this helps.

My family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

The short solution is to go to Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls OFF.
However, as Csound points out, you should not really be sharing an Apple ID with anyone. See: How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID.

My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)? Could be an issue at their end.

I have Iphone 4s from UK. I am using turbo sim (R-Sim) in it. I was able to surf net on 7.0.4 , But as i updated to 7.0.6 it is not connecting to net , I am able to make calls and messages , my network is also showing VODAFONE 3G

Please help me as I am not able to connect to the net. My I phone shows carrier as EE 15.8 but is working on calls and messages. Do I need to remove the turbo sim while restoring. as I am not getting the option for carries as I use to get it before...

You have hacked your phone with Turbo SIM. You cannot get any help here for hacked phones. Contact the place/person who sold you the SIM. Surely, they have support services, don't they?

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. I went ahead and backed up and found that my texts, phone calls and messages did not backup.

I upgraded to a 4g and the most recent backup (today) is not showing up. The most recent backup that showed was 3/3/12. I went ahead and backed up to that date and found that my texts, phone calls and messages are the part that did not backup.
Can anyone tell me 1) why my most recent backup did not show in ITunes, 2) why I could not backup using the Cloud (I tried this way first), 3) how I can get all the phone calls, messages and texts from 3/3/12 until today? Please help if you can...thanks!

I found the answer on:
transferring Txt messages from old phone to new iphone 4
It worked great!
