Using *77 to set 'anonymous' or 'unknown' call blocking is not working

Per instructions from Verizon, I used *77 to turn on anonymous call blocking last night. I dialed *77, and got a voice telling me that I have enabled anonymous call blocking.
However, it's NOT working. When I call home from my office, it shows up in caller ID as "unavailable"; shouldn't a call that is identified as 'unavailable' be blocked with this service? Does anyone understand why this would be the case? Are all 'unavailable calls' the same?

Unavavailable/unknown calls and anonymous/private calls are two different things. Anonymous calls are calls from someone who has chosen to block their telephone number from being displayed on your caller ID screen. This means the caller has dialed *67 before dialing your phone number (or they have what is called line blocking where all their outgoing caller id info is automatically blocked without them having to dial *67 before every call). *77 is used to block anonymous/private calls and force the caller to allow their caller id info to come through to your phone in order for the call to complete.
Unavailable/unknown calls are calls in which no caller id information has been sent. These are generally from collection agencies or telemarketers. *77 will not block these calls in any way. The only services which will block or screen these calls are Call Intercept or Do Not Disturb.

IOS 7 bug call block is not working in CANADA

I found a bug in iOS 7, It is not blocking call at all. I tried blocking call here in canada i didn't work while i tested samething in INDIA, its working.
No one is talking about this and no one is replying to the thread if i'm posting to. How can i report this to apple developing team?
If any other people have tried in CANADA, and its working please share here....

Hi there,
I can confirm this bug.
Not sure if this info is relevant, but this is my experience:
I am on the FIDO network, and so are two other people I know.
We all tried blocking numbers, and calls ring right through. Text messages are blocked successfully. (never tried facetime)
I also tried a ROGERS device running IOS7, and was successfully able to block my phone call from ringing through. HOWEVER, my call was forwarded to their voicemail, I was able to leave a voicemail for the person, and they did get an alert that they had a new voicemail.
I have not yet had a chance to test this on Bell, Telus, or any other carriers.
Spoke to Apple, and they advised me to do a hard reset (hold both buttons to shut off and reboot the phone), and if that fails to do an iOS restore.
I have yet to try this, but hopefully someone will have a better solution.

How do I block anonymous or unknown calls on the I phone 5 and 6?

How do I block anonymous or unknown calls on the I phone 5 and 6?

Thank you for messaging us, mandmc. Being able to customize and block unwanted callers is important. In order to be able to block unknown numbers, there is a service feature that we offer through Family Base that allows you to block all unknown callers: http://vz.to/1sSnjqp
You can also search for apps that can help with this, but be sure to check reviews to make sure they do work correctly.

Javascript calls via getURL not working anymore

After upgrading to flash player 9,0,115,0 a simple call like
getURL("javascript(alert'message')); doesn't work anymore on
Internet Explorer (it fails without any error in policyfiles.txt,
but it still work on Firefox). My IE version is 7.
I can't use ExternalInterface 'cause i need to publish as
Flash Player 7 AS2.0.
Any comment or suggestion?

I have a similar problem. When running a local HTML file,
using IE7 and FP 9,0,115,0, all the getURL function calls cease to
work.
If I downgrade to FP8, still using IE7, everything works.
If I downgrade to IE6, still using FP9.0.115.0, everything
works.
If I load the HTML via HTTP (instead of local), using IE7 and
FP9.0.115.0, everything works.
If I use Firefox, with FP9.0.115.0, everything works.
So, the function calls fail only when the swf is contained on
a
local HTML file, using
IE7, and
FP9.0.115.0. The problem is, most of our customers have that
software profile, and all of them need to load the content locally
(its very heavy for network transmission).
All the getURLs are like this:
getURL("javascript:someFunction()");
We're setting the 'allowScriptAccess' to 'always'.
Also, if we put the OBJECT tag inside the HTML (instead on an
external JS file), the function calls still do not work.

Hello
You purchased a Montenegro 60 mins Subscription on July 21st 2014 and used your full allocation of 60 minutes. You then purchased a further 60 minutes on July 30th 2014. As this is a monthly plan your newly purchased minutes will be added at or about midnight UTC/GMT on August 21st 2014. If you wish to add additional minutes before the monthly anniversary of your plan you have to purchase a different # of minutes (if that option exists).

Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

How do u get a Java method to call itself? Not working here.

How do u get a Java method to call itself? Not working here. I am using the "this" keyword. Thanks.
Below, I would like to call checkIt method in itself.
Ex.
public class ABC {
public String checkIt(String abc){
if....
checkIt(abc);
}

Assuming you are getting stack overflows (likely if you're unfamiliar with recursive calls), you need to put some sort of check condition inside the method so it doesn't call itself endlessly (AKA "infinite recursion").

Call log does not work. Iphone 4

Hi, I'm an Iphone 4 user, software currently on IOS 6.1.3, updated a couple of weeks ago.
Everything's fine and all, though one major problem that's been persisting - the call history is not working. Whenever an oncalling call (regardless if it's someone in my contact list or not) comes, the call log does not record the number and the entire log remains blank. I've tried resetting the settings as well as 'hard reset', but neither of these two have worked.
It's become absolutely frustrating, especially when I sold items off at Trademe and can't even track the phone numbers of anyone that gives a call saying they want to buy something (for the moment, I've currently got all pages saying that anyone interested should text my number, but as always, someone ignores that and just calls anyway). Not to mention it makes it a particularly big headache for work purposes as well and it obviously can't go on like this forever.
It'd be really appreciated if anyone can come up with a solution that can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

..I just upgrade my E52 from 034.001 to 052.003 and noticed that 'call log' function does not work anymore. The symptom is that nothing happens when pressing:
- "green" call button,
- Log option from the main menu,
- missed calls from the desktop.
I had to switch the phone to active Standby Mode which I never used before - this is the only way to see missed calls - the small "pop up" on the desktop.
Any suggestions how to fix it? Is it a known issue?...
I don't know how widespread your experience is but it is not universal as all the functions you describe work correctly for me with an E52 and 052.003 firmware.
Even if the upgrade reverted the log settings for Log Duration to "None" the "Green" key and the Log menu icon should bring the log up but with it empty, of course.

Hi Ersin,
Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform. However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module. I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?
Regards,
Nick

Call Blocking does not. Is this just a scam too?

Verizon call blocking is a useless 'service', dozens of calls come through with no phone number at all on the caller ID, something Verizon specifically states it will NOT DO. Any ideas?
Verizon call blocking does not address scammers and money-seekers who have caller ID of "Not-Available' -- honestly my dog could figure out how to block these but Verizon cannot. Besides paying more money to someone else, is there any hope for the people who expected the Verizon service would work?

Scam no. A service that needs to be update to the 21th Century, yes. Still based on early callerid tecnhnology which is easily bypassed by all those so called "telemarketers" . You should have now trouble with ligitimate callers, but lots of illegal calls come in.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
