I blocked a number, but yet i still get calls?

I blocked my ex's number, but yet i still get calls by him. I blocked him about 5 days ago and nothing happened but today i got 6 calls in the matter of 30 minutes. And when i check my recent calls, his name or number isnt there. Can anyone tell me if this is just a glitch in the system or what is going on! Thank you!

All blocking does is to prevent the phone from ringing by sending the call to voicemail. They can still leave a message in voicemail.
There is no way to actually block a call, this is something that may be done on the carrier level.

  • Can you block a number from ringing, however still get voice mail.  Is that possible???

    There are some folks that call so much and it seems at just the wrong time.  I'd like to able to block them so my phone doesn't ring and yet, still get the voice mails that I can check at a later date when it's convenient.   Is there a way to do that???

    Thank you. I thought there was a feature on the phone that allowed for that to happen.
    My next question is, however. If I'm texting another party, and the delivered sign is not shown. Is it a possibility that my phone may have been blocked from receiving any texts?
    Or, is it possible that the text message did not go through, yet?
    Thanks again for answering my inquiry.
    Dawn.

  • HT201229 I have blocked a number but I still get a voice message from that blocked caller?

    I have blocked a number but I still get a voice message from that blocked caller?  Another words I still get a voice message from the blocked call.  How do I stop this?

    That's the way all of these phones work. There is no way from a phone to completely and truly block a caller. What you get is more of an "ignore" so the call doesn't ring or notify you but rather goes directly to voicemail. If you want the caller blocked completely, the only way to do that is to call your cell carrier and ask if they can block the caller. Some carriers will and some won't.

  • How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

    How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
    I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
    I have rebooted the computer.
    I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
    I have no other issues with Firefox.
    I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
    I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

    Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
    The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    Here are some other things to check:
    (1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    (3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
    (4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Hopefully that cures it.

  • I have tried to reset my ipod and everything but yet its still not turning on?

    I have tried to reset my ipod and everything but yet its still not turning on?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Keep on talking to Vodafone and keep pestering them until you get a satisfactory answer.  Whether you get a 3G signal or not, is entirely the responsibility of Vodafone India because they are your carrier/phone company and nobody here can help you with that on a public user to user technical support forum.
    Contact Vodafone as they are the only ones who can help you.

  • HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

    I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

    Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

    You have your mute button on.  In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side.  If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad.  If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear.  Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side.  Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.
