If i block someone on iphone and they call me what will happen?

will they go to my voicemail because that ruins the purpose of me blocking them. what i want is there phone to not hear a ring and hear an ignore tone. What actually happens?

If that's what you want by the time the call reaches the phone it is too late. Only a carrier can provide a block that never reaches your phone. Most carriers offer this as a service, sometimes for a monthly fee.
Another alternative is to use a service like Google Voice. As a virtual carrier they have a block capability. Instead of giving people your cell number you give them your Google Voice number. It is free for incoming calls.

    They will stop syncing with no workaround unless you sync by plugging the phone into your computer using a USB cable.

  • Syncing an iphone to an old backup - what will happen?

    Hi All.
    My laptop got stolen a few weeks ago, i've replaced it with a new MBP, and fortunatley I done a full backup at xmas time, so my computer is just like it was on the 23rd of December 2011. However, my iphone has a ton of new photos, music and playlists on it since that date.
    Now I want to keep all these tracks, playlists and photos, but i don't no how to go about it.
    If i plug it in to the MBP now, won't itunes back sync and delete all the new stuff?
    How do i go about keeping the recent stuff on my iphone?
    Cheers

  • When you block someone what will happen when they try calling and texting you?

    I recently blocked someone they have a different phone carrier. When they text me and call me what will happen? Will they know if they got blocked?

    They might get a message when calling that the call couldn't be completed.  I don't know what happens when they try to text you.

  • When we miss a call, the "Slide to Unlock" doesn't respond to touch. The only way out is to have someone call your iphone and then "Slide to Answer" will respond and once u end the call it will start responding to "Slide to Unlock" this started happening

    When we miss a call, the "Slide to Unlock" doesn't respond to touch. The only way out is to have someone call your iphone and then "Slide to Answer" will respond and once u end the call it will start responding to "Slide to Unlock" this started happening after upgrading to IOS 7.
    iphone 4S IOS 7.0.3.

    In your first post you mention you have done a reset and a restore. Those are the last two processes in the user troubleshooting. If those do not work, then the last thing is to go to the Genius Bar. You say you went to Apple and they opened the phone and re-seated the connectors? That sounds unusual, because if there was a hardware issue,they would replace the hardware. You say you cannot get a replacement, is that because you are out of warranty? An out of warranty replacement is only $199 plus tax. It seems to me since you mention the fact you need to press hard to get the screen to react there is something going on with the hardware. If this problem has been going on for over a year, have you been reporting this to Apple. You say you cannot get a replacement and you are on the second phone, I wonder why they are denying you a replacement. Is there something you are not telling us??

  • I erased my phone using find my iphone and gave it to someone. what will happen next?

  • I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one...

    I returned my iphone and they gave me a new one and they activated it at the iphone store. when i got home and tried to sync my contacts, they were gone. there are a few contacts that it imported but only about 25% of my original list. I think the contacts that it is syncing is from the mac address book. I have had problems with this phone and recently re-installed the sim card and had to restore my contacts and it worked fine. but this time when i plug the iphone in to itunes, it doesnt recognized the phone with "my name" on it. it just says iphone under the devices tab. where are my contacts? are they stored somewhere else on the mac where i can retrieve them?
    Please help!
    thanks

    coachhomer,
    With the iPhone, contacts are not stored on the SIM card, but stored on the device itself. Typically, you want to backup your iPhone contacts with a program on your computer (like Address Book or Outlook) so you have those contacts in case you need to restore your iPhone or get it replaced. When you sync your iPhone with your computer, iTunes will make a backup of your information, but future syncs replaces your backup.
    You can look and see if your old backup remains by going into the iTunes preferences and clicking on the syncing tab. It will give you the name of the iPhone backed up and the last date it backed up the information. If you synced your iPhone before you took it in to be replaced, your contact information may still be included in that backup. You can restore your phone in iTunes and choose the backup you want to re-sync to the iPhone.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?j

    If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?

    If your phone (plus syncing) is the only place you keep your pictures you are asking for trouble, theft or not. Back up onto an external hard disk which is only mounted when you need it, then nothing external can erase them. Then make use of Apple's facilities for protecting your phone:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    iCloud: Find My iPhone overview
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

  • Emails have been sent from my iphone and they are not from me.  what do I do to secure this doesn't happen again?  I've already changed password

    emails have been sent from my iphone and they are not from me.  what do I do to secure this doesn't happen again?  I've already changed password

    I have this problem too, it's called "spoofing" aparently.
    There isn't much you can do except change your email address which is a huge problem if like me you have an Apple one and can't change it without losing your whole iTunes and App purchase history which is a billiantly stupid bit of design on Apple's part.
    There's some interesting stuff here: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?132-how-to-stop-spoofed-email-addres ses
    but I don't think there's much chance of applying it to iCloud but I am not an expert.

    I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke  to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???
