How can I block a specific or restricted number from calling me?

If you have Verizon Wireless, the only way that I know of to block restricted numbers is with an application called "Do Not Disturb." You can get it by texting "dnd" to "apps" (363 to 2777), or go look for it under Media Center or Get It Now, or to mydonotdisturb.com

I hope this is helpful. i really get sick of restricted calls from telemarketers all the time

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.

Thanks that was very helpful and it works.......many many thanks

If you come to a point that you want to change your phone, check for this feature, it is available on some phones including the new blackberry 9700 available on my website with at&t

i want to block specific number from incoming for while days.how to do?.

If you go to vzw.com, and login to your account, choose the phone number, and click on block/allowed numbers. Add the number there. if it is a restricted number, click on BLOCK ALL RESTRICTED CALLS/SMS MESSAGES TO THIS NUMBER.

If you are a Windows Mobile user, then it will become an easy job. The software ---- Pocket Call Blocker can help you

to block unwanted calls and sms. Then you won't be disturbed by the unknown person.

Maybe you can have a look at : How to block incoming calls – Pocket Call Blocker for Windows Mobile

Hope help~

It is an easy-to-use app

this one will work but if you have someone you know that has a blocked number may not be such a good idea. in your settings there is a place to block out any number like a black list of some sort. instead of typing a name or number just type in restricted and that "call" whom ever it is will not be able to call.

You cant do that, you have to change your number
