It's easier to just change your number.

Is it possible to set the ringtone to silent for specific numbers?

While you can do this, the numbers you block can still text message you.

Thanks for the update dude.

Actually, I just found this on verizonwireless.com:

My Verizon>My Services>My Cell Phone>Verizon Safeguards>Spam Controls

The comment from John is the one to go with. Just log on to your account and depending on your account type, you can block up to ten numbers using SPAM control.The same is good for emails.

Hereeee we go thank goodness someone can tell me how to block a number without goin through this whole process... THANK YOU!!

It is easier to find at vzw dot com spamcontrols

there you will find both the email blocking which vtext dot com has as well as find the place to block calls and texts from any 10 digit number as well

go to Verizon Safeguards to read about them both

Good to know, thank you...

you might as well change your number

get do not disturb with verizon for 2.99 a month or 17 unlimited. also...you can get something called trapcall to unblock blocked numbers

Ok there are two things ytou can do. if u are verizon get do not disturb.... its 2.99 monthly or 16 something unlimited. but its pretty nice. you can block specific numbers, toll free/unknown numbers, private numbers (ppl who dial *67), and block calls during certain hours. It blocks these calls for you and keeps a record of them for you.

Also for those pesky people who call restricted to prank you or what not, get trapcall. the basic plan is free...it allows you to show blocked numbers. its not spam it works and doesn't ask for any credit card numbers. what it does is the call comes through as restricted. press ignore...the call will go through their system and a couple seconds later you'll get a call back from the same person but the number will show. the person will never know. (tip: if you have a ringback tone the ring back tone will play until it gets put thru the system at which time it will switch to just ringing.) its a nice free way to get the numbers of those prankers or people who are harassing you. There are other plans that have more options but they cost money.

they told me i couldnt too

i'm trying the internet option now
