how to block a number on verizon

Just a note on the My Verizon solution, the MAJORITY of cell numbers on the Verizon networks CANNOT use this FREE feature. The parental control option which is right above the spam control option but is $4.99 a month, does allow you to do many things including blocking specific incoming and outgoing calls. So from this I get it's only about money and nothing about customer service, if I can use the $4.99 parental option to block certain incoming numbers it's obvious that Verzion has the power to do this on ALL cells and the fact that the FREE spam option which would allow me to block certain incoming calls is not available for most is just more proof of the profit over service idea. I can't wait til my Verizon contract is up, it will be my last.

I have a Blackberry and I can block people from calling me by using a program that BerryWAV made called Efficient Call Blocker. My exgirlfriend use to call me all the time. Last time she called me, this program blocked her and I had setup a custom voice mail that made her hear a message saying that my number is no longer in service. Need to check this out!!

Apparently, however, they told you that you couldn't, but maybe if you tried another customer care person and they might let you.

But what I ended up doing was that I changed my voicemail greeting to one I made in GarageBand (on my mac) that plays the No Connection sound (bo-ba-beep!) and a guy that says "the number you have dialed is not in service) and then plays a no connection sound again, makes a disconnect sound, and then a recorded dial tone goes on for about 20 seconds. It's still a voicemail message, though, but the dial tone goes on for so long that they hang up. And you can tell people that need to reach you to just wait out the dial tone or press a key that makes the voicemail lady butt in.

I made a few phone habits to complete this, too:

• I only had my phone on when I needed to use it. That way, the phone didn't ring.
• When I did have my phone on, I changed it so that when I answered a call, I had to open it and then choose to answer or ignore it. The ignore button leads the person directly to voicemail.
• When the person called, if my phone was on, I pressed the ignore button as quickly as I could. Be sure to press it because if it does the standard amount of rings, they'll know you just changed your vm.
• I told people I trusted and needed to talk to how to bypass it which was a)pressing a button during the greeting or b) waiting until the greeting ended and the voicemail lady came on and started doing the spiel about "leave a message after the tone or press 1 for more options".

If you're interested, let me know. I can send you an MP3 of it and you can just play it full blast through headphones from your computer into your cell phone microphone and it sounds fine. I'll give this to anyone else, too.

Good evening. Once you registered online with verizon, you can go into your account and block up to five numbers. You can also block certain emails that also come to your phone. I hope this was helpful.

very useful.

You can do this online through Verizon Wireless at your personal account page. If you haven't registered your phone its s very simple process and takes just a couple minutes then you can be on your way to blocking people! I just did it this morning to some very nasty people I once had problems with but, never again will I have to deal with them!! Yay me!! It's worth the time to register your phone and enter their numbers.

Go to verizon and register your phone for your personal account, if you haven't gotten one already. Once in, mouse over the My Services tab and a drop down will appear, there you will see Spam Controls, click on it and *BAM* the first thing you see is a place to enter phone numbers that you want blocked from both calling and texting you!! How wonderful is that???? And soooo simple!!!!

If you log into myverizon they let you block up to five numbers for up to 90 days.

Why not change your phone number?
