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


I see that Verizon does not offer this feature:

How can I block a specific or restricted number from calling me?
Sorry, we do not offer this service at this time.



However, is there a way I can reroute specific incoming numbers to a different phone #? We are getting some harassment on 1 phone #, and I want to either block the calls (which I can't seem to do here) or, reroute the specific numbers to something else.....like AOL Moviephone

I am avoiding having to change the # on this phone....

One thing I can think of is to put the # in the contact list, and set the ringer to "no ring"

At least that will keep the early AM calls to a minimum.....if it came to that....

that is the only solution I have heard of.... setting the ringer for that person to "silent"... you still have voicemail to sift through though

This is what we did.....it should be fairly obvious if a VM was left or not, and just perge them out....

You know what? I have to give you props on this one. I never thought to do this, and I will try it now. This weirdo got my number and will not let up. I wish there was a way to block those pesky text messages, though.

Another thing you can try is called YouMail. YouMail allows you to set up something called "DitchMail". Basically, it plays a fake "this number has been disconnected" recording for whatever number(s) you choose and hangs up on the caller. Pretty handy for your situation.

Oh yeah, and it's free.
