Blocking an incoming # on your Cell Phone ?

It's an option on some phones, but your carrier can if your phone doesn't have the option.

 

I'd call AT&T and ask them.

 

Carrier will not block it for you. You need a phone that has that option/app to do it. Or you can use a proxy number such a google voice and do it yourself.

 

no hurt in calling and finding out if your carrier does or not

 

Not true, Verizon blocks #s for you through your login thingy online or you can call customer service and they can do it. I'm sure AT&T does it too.

 

What about blocking text messages.

 

I have AT&T also and looked into this pretty recently. If I remember correctly, they offer a service for $5 a month (I think) and give you a handful of numbers to block. Seems like a ripoff if you ask me.

 

Verizon must have added this recently because I called them a couple years ago to have a number blocked and was told they couldn't do it.

 

Once you check out how to do it, post your cell phone number and we'll give it a try.

 

Yep, it's some kinda parental control thing. I had to get it like a year ago for a crazy ex-gf. Blocks texts, voicemails, anything. If you ask they will give you a free trial of it, for a month or 3, can't remember.

If your phone has the option you can just send the calls directly to voicemail, I know android phones do.

 

anyone have this sort of app on the iphone?

If you have a smart phone, then theres an app for that.
