Rejecting a "Blocked Number" call on my 3G

Is it possible to automatically reject a call from a blocked number, or is that a function of the provider? On my old phone (Razr, T-Mobile) if someone who had their number blocked tried to make a call to me, they received a message saying that I was refusing calls from blocked numbers and to unblock their number and try the call again.
Yesterday I received a call and the phone displayed "Blocked Number" - It was a telemarketer. After the call, I looked through the settings and could not find anything that would allow me to reject blocked (or hidden) numbers. I saw where I could hide my number, but that's not what I want.
On a side note, I do have a contact made with a whole list of numbers and set to a "silent ring" as a way of "blocking" telemarketers, but when the number is blocked, I cant add it to the contact.
I have a 3G running iOS 4.01 (if that makes a difference)
Thanks
Jim

I am on the DNC registry - but that is the problem, I do business with one section of one company. I have an AmEx card. I am being pestered by their vacation subsection. They call about once every 4 weeks asking if I want to have a great vacation in Florida (I live in Florida). . .The other company is one I dont do business with and never concluded any business with. Carnival Cruise. Last year, I was looking to take my wife on a cruise but chose Royal Caribbean instead, yet I am still called by Carnival. Funny, now that I think about it, RC never calls me and they are the ones I went with. . .
These are two of the few that I have listed on the "Silent Ring" contact. . .

    Contact your carrier and ask them.

  • How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone?

    How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone, so it only hears a busy tone?

    You cannot do this on the iPhone - this is a feature/service that must be provided by the carrier. Contact your carrier and ask if they can do this. In the US, for example, AT&T offers as part of the SmartLimits package.

  • How do I get my number to show up as a blocked number when I call

    HOw do I get my number to show up as a blocked number when I call someone

    I think you want to simply hide the caller ID and be anonymous, not "be a blocked number" because you wouldn't be able to call anyone.
    Back when I did that, I dialed *70, waited for the next dial tone, and dialed normally. I forget which carrier that was. Verizon is *67 these days.
    Search for "Verizon block caller ID" for example. Verizon has a page and I'm sure the other carriers do, too.

  • TA38605 When my phone rings and  is password locked I am unable to decline a call.  As soon as I unlock my phone it answers the call whether I want to or not. How do I fix this? Because I do not want to answer a blocked number.

    Iphone4s - because I use pass lock I cannot decline a call such as a blocked number.  If I can't see who is calling then I don't want to answer it.  But due to having my phone on lock - i can see its a blocked number but there is no option to decline.  If i unlock my phone it automatically answers the call.  Does anyone else have this problem or is there a solution I don't knnow about?

    In the locked screen you can press the sleep/wake button once to silence to the call and twice to send it to voicemail.

  • Hi All can anyone help me, I have a Iphone 4s and I'm currently recieving nuisance calls via a blocked number is there anyway I can stop my phone accepting blocked numbers? Cheers

    Hi all I'm Currently recieving Nuisance Calls via a Blocked number is there anyway I can stop my Iphone accepting Blocked Numbers? Thanks

    There is a way! I'm very happy to share this and hope it helps those who find themselves plagued, as I was.
    I have been getting nuisance calls for months from some muppet, who hides his phone number before he calls at 3am. I need to keep my phone on, in case any of my immediate family have an emergency. I'm sure many have the same problem, just turning off the phone is not an option. I have been to two or three shops to ask the experts and none could offer me a solution. I was on the verge of tring to jailbreak my phone or even get rid of it to get an andriod one...That's how bad things had become.
    Anyway, this is my solution, which I found by trawling through page after page on the internet, for ages and trying various other solutions first. I have an iPhone 4S and the operating system is 6.1.3 and I am in the UK, on Orange, or EE as we should now call it. I cannot promise it will help everyone, but it works for me.
    Go to Settings, Do Not Disturb and switch this on. Underneath here, go to Notifications, then Do Not Disturb again. Then Scheduled and set the times you want the restrictions to start and end. For example, I use 7pm to 8am, so that I know I won't get nuisance calls during this period, but whatever times work for you. Underneath, it says Allow calls from and you can select your favourites. If you haven't saved any of your contacts as Favourites, do so, it's very easy. Just go to contacts, open one and underneath the number there is a button to Add to favourites. Repeat for all close friends and family you want to be able to reach you at any time. All your favourites should be allowed to call. I think you can have 50 numbers in the favourites. But any unknown caller should be simply sent to voicemail.
    Apple have had some previous issues with the Do Not Disturb feature and to be honest this didnt work 100% of the time for me. If you find the same, don't give up. I suggest you do as I did at this point and use an app called Call Bliss, which seems to have cracked it. (I have NO connection to them and it's no skin off my nose if you use this app or not). There may be other apps that do the same, or even better for all I know. You have a free one day trial then it's £3 if you want to continue to use it. For me, £3 to solve the problem was money very well spent. If you need this app, download it, then do as suggested above to the point where it says Allow calls from and this time you select Bliss Exceptions. Follow the instructions in the app.
    There are two modes, I use suppress mode, which allows all calls to get through except those from unknown callers and those specified by you. I believe the other mode blocks all calls, except those you specify. Please note, the app only works when the iPhone is locked. Your lock might come on after the phone is not used for 5 minutes or so, or you can lock the phone by single clicking the on/off button (not holding it down).
    I hope this helps anyone as much as it has done me.

  • Is there any way to block calls from "blocked number"

    I would like to be able to block calls from numbers that show up in my caller ID as "Blocked".  I dont really care who they are I want them to share their number or I dont' want them to call. Is there anyway to do this? I am not talking about the restricted numbers just the ones that people have chosen to block. They can all do the *## and unblock their number when they call my phone if they really want me to answer it!

    Nothing annoys me more than receiving a blocked call, barnmother! The good news is that we have an option to prevent these calls from reaching your phone. Usage Controls will allow you to block unwanted calls and much more.

    How can I access a call log of incoming calls from a blocked number on my iphone?

    Calls from blocked #'s won't go through, so they won't be listed on your device.

  • 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.

  • How or can i block a number calling me

    how to or can i block a number calling my i phone 4.
    i am on o2 ireland network.

    Even a $30 cellphone can block voice or txt from unwanted callers, why Apple missed this feature is a total mistery for me.
    The only working solution I found is:
    - make a file with Garageband (some seconds of full silence);
    - send it to iTunes;
    - download it on the iPhone's Ringtones;
    - save the callers in your Contacts;
    - use that silent ringtone as a specific ringtone for the unwanted calls, but only after you saved the callers in your Contacts of course!  
    But still ...you can't set the iPhone to not Vibrate for those specific callers...

    I am being stalked by an ex-boyfriend who either calls from a blocked number or a prepaid calling card.  Is there any free app for my Iphone 4S that I can download that will block a "blocked" number and/or numbers from prepaid calling cards besides paying for smart limits?

    ... he has already threatened to kill me
    You need to keep reporting the continued harassment to the police and the court that issued the restraining order. The only technology certain to protect you from such lowlifes is carried in a holster.

  • Useless call blocking that can't block blocked number

    I have had enough can anyone tell these clowns at apple I want to be able to to block
    People who withhold their call I.d
    Not just my friends
    Seriously android perfected this option years ago.

    The original question raised in this thread is perfectly correct - why cant you simply block a caller who withholds their ID - Android can do this with ease!
    chai2030 response does not understand the question, yes with IOS7 you can block callers who leave a number but you CANNOT block someone who leaves no caller ID - WHY NOT!!!!!!!!  Andriod users can easily do this!!!
    I get loads of annoying sales calls who withhold ID - so so annoying
    Just got my Iphone 5S as a present, but the lack of this feature means I will go back to Android asap.

  • Can you text/call a blocked number?

    When calling or texting a blocked number, will the other person get it?

    So communication is blocked both ways? I am not able to contact a number I blocked myself?
    I just want to be clear. In this threat: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/330765#330765, username rbritto201 said that you could text/call a number you blocked, and I just want to make sure I have the correct info.
    Thanks
