Telemarketing call filter app on iphone 5: Apple-Carrier issue?

I am on my second iphone (5) and probably my last.  Besides the awful iMaps, I still cannot get an app to manage annoying telemarketing calls.  I was told by one of my business customers Apple does not allow them in the App Store due to contractual restrictions with ATT and Verizon.  Can anyone confirm this is true?  If so, it is definitely my last iphone and good by to Verizon at the end of my contract.

You need to register your number with the federal Do Not Call list if you have not. If the calls you are receiving are from companies you have not done business with, are currently doing business with, or affiliates of companies you have/are doing business with then they shouldn't be calling you after your number is placed on the list (it may take up to 30 days I believe for the rolls to update). Otherwise, this isn't an iPhone issue. It wouldn't matter what phone you were using...telemarketers can call you if they have your number and you are not on the Do Not Call list. Also, tell the telemarketer that is contacting you that you want them to remove you from their calling list. They must do this if you request it. As mentioned, you can block some numbers either with the free option or with the monthly option.

  • My iphone was lost and iwant to delate my app in iphone via apple account

    how can idelate my app in my iphone with out connect to pc?

    If you had setup the Find My iPhone feature in Mobile Me before your phone was lost, then you can log into me.com and send a wipe command to the phone. If you had not then it will not be possible. Change all the passwords that you were using for mail, itunes and any other apps. Report it to your carrier and file a police report.
    Good luck.

  • I am looking for a good Call Blocking App for my iPhone 5...any suggestions??

    I am in need of a good call blocking app for iPhone....please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    As Randy Landry1 says, Google for "silent ringtone", download and install on you iPhone as a ringtone.
    Now create a contact for the offending phone number. Assign the contact to the silent ringtone and set no vibrate.
    When that number calls it will not ring, nor vibrate. It will light up the screen, but if you do not see that, it will not bother you. They could leave voice mail, but that is easily deleted.
    And if it is a situation where the are violating the do not call list, you can use the missed call log to report the number to the FTC.
    Also, if the calls are abusive or threading, and the leave a voice mail, you something to show the police.

  • ¿Is there an app for iPhone similar to Kaspersky (call filter, white/black list and private list?

    I need an app that does for my iphone's privacy something similar to what Kaspersky does for other smartphones:
    1) it offers a call filter service, so you can create a white list and a black list of numbers and contacts. You can manage your settings about calls/sms's comming from those lists and when to block/admit them.
    2) (Very important) it offers the possibility of creating an additional list of numbers or contacts that are private to you. So, if you put it on "private" mode, everything related to those contacts (calls, sms's and their info in the contact list) just dissapears (it's hidden), like if they didn't exist; but if you put it on "normal" mode, everything comes back and is displayed again.
    Everything with just a secret code (defined by you)... just wonderful!!
    I need my iPhone to do that!!!
    Thanks.

    There is nothing that will do what you want in iTunes and probably never will be.

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4

    I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4.
    We're sorry, the Apple Store app is currently not supported in the country associated with your Apple ID.
    I am in USA and my correct address is on my account.

    you can't, but you can simply ignore it. but if you REALLY want to delete it, call apple customer support to ask for a deletion. though, you'll need the password and security questions of the old account.
    you can manage your apple ID's at: https://appleid.apple.com/

  • New iPhone, new Apple ID. But the built in apps won't update.

    I got my first iPhone, when my mom got it for me, she signed in with the family ID when the preloaded apps appeared (like keynote and pages) now these and other apps need updates but I started using my Apple ID when she gave the phone to me. Now these apps need updates, but they can only be updated through my mom's Apple ID. But then I would be locked out of mine on my phone. So I deleted one or two, thinking they came automatically with my phone. When I went back to reload them they cost $9.99 and up! But I had them originally with my phone! is there a way I can get those apps as if I had started this phone with my ID? And does anyone know for sure if it will work?

    You never purchased them with your current Apple ID. Their ownership is tied to the other Apple ID. That does not transfer. You will have to re-purchase all purchased apps using your new Apple ID and a new iTunes account.
    You can call Apple to see if they will help you out, but not assurances that they will:

  • I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help.

    I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

    On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

  • I set up "Find My Iphone App" using the same apple id and password on two iphones. Now the app only finds the phone that I did the setup on first. Do I need a different apple id and password on each phone for the app to run correctly?

    I setup two iphones on "Find My Iphone App" Using the same apple id on each phone. Now the app finds only the phone I setup first. Do I need to use two different apple ids? If your answer is yes then how do I errase the setup in the second phone and assign a new id?

    As TJBUSMC1973 states, and as I said earlier, the Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with your use of Find My iPhone. The app is just used if necessary to locate another iOS device from that particular iOS device. To see if both of your devices are being located in Find My iPhone, log into www.icloud.com and select Find My iPhone. Both of the devices should appear. If they do not, then go into whichever of the devices does not appear and make sure that Find My iPhone is activated. It has to be activated through iCloud, and for both to show on the same map, they both have to have the same iCloud ID.

  • How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app  on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

    I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!!  However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
    1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
    2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv.  (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing.  I can't search/browse any other music)
    If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad
    Dylan

    Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
    My problem involves:
    icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier.  Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing.  This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
    What does work is:
    iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off.  I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

  • How can i access app store funds on ipad with different apple id to purchase app for iphone?

  • After updating to iOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4 having some Apple ID issues on apps

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and when I went to log in with my Apple ID it told me that I needed to have an email instead of a name for my Apple ID. So I went online and updated my ID to my email but now my phone says that I have apps that need to update but it still has my previous ID before I moved it to my email. I have tried going into settings and logging out and back in to the iTunes store but there is no change on those apps. For new apps I'm not having any issues at all so it looks like previous downloads before I updated.

    Have you tried this? Did/does it work? My problem is that I can no longer access my "old account".  When I use the IForget utility, I get nowhere using either the security questions or email reset instructions route. I wonder if the account is the same, the user ID just changes, but the old ID is not retained i any practical way, and therefore cannot not be summoned when running a security/password check. Does that make sense? So frustrated Right now since I cannot download my purchased apps and music.
