How do you block an incoming call?

Answer 1

You can block calls and texts, depending on what type of cell phone you have and what carrier you have. For example, some cell phones models allow you to block calls from any number not in your directory or block specific phone numbers.

Blackberry users can use the application called Efficient Call Blocker. This program will allow you place numbers in the software and when those numbers show up on caller-id, then it auto-ignore it. If you use this with the YouMail service, you can even make that caller listen to a voice mail messaging saying something like "this number is not in service."

AT&T wireless allows you to block calls and texts from specific numbers as part of its parental controls feature. This feature costs $4.99/mo. You can log onto your AT&T wireless account and add the feature right now or call AT&T. Other carriers may have jumped on the bandwagon and added this feature. Call your carrier.

If your cell phone allows you to choose the ringer sound for each entry in your phone book, you can put the number you want to block in your address book and then set the ring for that number to 'no ring'. It's not the same as blocking the number, but you won't know when they call.

Answer 2

The best way to block incoming calls on your Blackberry (doesn't matter what Blackberry you are using) is to use an app that BerryWAV had developed. It's called Efficient Call Blocker. It works by allowing you to explicitly add numbers to a list where you can block. Using this along with a service like YouMail, you can have the person calling hear a message like "this number has been disconnected or no longer in service."

In some mobiles like in Sony Ericson you get option in profile menu option about answering calls. This normalyy has two options. One is all callers other is only from the list. So u can add some contacts from whom you want to accept the calls. Calls from other callers whose name is not in the list will be blocked.

On your cell you will notice that there is a button you can press when your getting a call saying block, so press that button. That button is on my black chocolate cell.
