"One button" no-ring solution?

Is there a "one-button" no-ring solution for the V3 RAZR? By that I mean
one button you can click on that will permit the phone to ring only for
entries in the phone book?

If there is, it's cleverly hidden...or I'm not clever enough to find it. I
want the phone to not ring when someone "unknown caller" or that's not in my
"friends & family" list calls. I'm tired of answering while underway and
then having to fish for a pencil & paper and such... Those that I don't
really care to hear from s/b able to leave a message and I can get back to
'em if I care to...

Any hints would be most appreciated...


Best regards,
Dusty - tired of sales and marketing calls...

There isn't one per se, however, you can assign a distinctive ring for
each of the callers you do want to hear from and just let the others go
to VM.

Hey, that's VERY cool! I never knew about that. BTW, the default unlock
code is 1234.

That depends, on my phones (maybe typical of Verizon Wireless?) the
unlock code is always the last 4 digits of my phone number, on some
I've heard about it's 0000.

If verizon sets it to the last 4 digits of the phone number then that's
NOT the default code. The default code is the one set at the factory and
published in the manual.

Which is the last 4 digits of the phone number as per the manual
included with my phone.

You're very welcome, it took me weeks to dig it out, glad I could
share!

I only have the "Allow All" option. Do I need to flash my V3 to get the
"Allow Contacts" option?

Did you highlight ALL and then press the right or left joystick button
to change it?

very very cool, I have been looking for this. The other day I accidentally
answered a junk call from Mexico because I was using my bluetooth headset.
Now I can block this junk.

No, that's what you should see. Select "Change" and you'll be given a
list of "All", "None" or "Contacts".

That worked. Thanks for the correction.

Not until you told me (actually I pressed the "Change" button). Thanks.
