Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
Hi Listers, Is there a way of blocking a number that you don't first wish to add to your contacts? I know I can block a number that's already in my contacts list but what about if you get an advertising call, and you obviously don't wish to have their number in your contacts but you want to block it? Is there a way to accomplish it? Or is there a way of manually entering a number somewhere to be blocked?

Re: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
Why not create a contact called blocked and then add that number to that contact. In future you can add other numbers to this same contact. On this same topic I would like to know if there is a way to block unknown numbers. If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why? then where does the learning start? - Original Message - From: Andrew Lamanche andrew.laman...@gmail.com To: VIPhone viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 1:35 AM Subject: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts Hi Listers, Is there a way of blocking a number that you don't first wish to add to your contacts?

Re: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
No there is a blocked feature in iOS 7. So what you do is go to the recents tab in the phone app, double tap more info next to the number, then double tap the block contact button. From then on they can't call, message or FaceTime call you.

Re: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
I just checked this out and it is possible. Go to your recent call list. Each number is listed twice. The second of each pair is for More Info. One of the choices is Block this Caller. When you choose that it gives you the choice of Block this Contact or Cancel. I chose Block this contact even though the number was not in my contacts. When I went back to the More Info for the blocked number in the Recent call list, one of the choices is now Unblock this Caller. The blocked number is not in my contact list. I am not sure how to find it later if I wanted to unblock it. But since the number I used as a test is American Express according to Google I don't want it unblocked anyway.

Re: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
If a number is unknown, unfortunately, you cannot block it; it is not necessary to create a contact to block a number either. Just go to recents and doubletap the more information button and the option to block that number appears.

UnBlocking a number that's not in your contacts - Was: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
Of course, the colliery to the initial question is: if you can block a number that isn't in your Contacts, then how could you unblock if you have a change of heart and wish to permit that number to call. I imagine that if the caller using that number were to leave a voice mail you could recover the number in that fashion. After all, the Block Caller doesn't truly prevent the call from getting to your service, only routes it directly to voice mail where it will be listed in the Blocked Callers list. But if the number never leaves a voice mail, then what?

Blocking Yourself - Was: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
OK, here's a slightly unusual twist: is it possible to block a number so that you cannot call it while keeping it in your Contacts? Just suppose there's this person that you are not to contact, but if they should call you you want to know so you don't answer.

Re: Blocking a number that's not in your contacts
Hi, just a slight correction. They can still call, but your iPhone will ignore the call and send them directly to voice mail. The call will still appear in your usage section of your bill. For true blocking, you will have to get your cell phone provider involved at a cost I'm sure. -- Raul A. Gallegos I can't live without y?o?u?. TEA.
