is there a way to block all incoming calls where the caller blocks their
number? I know I can choose to no answer it but I'd rather just be able to
do as I can do on my landline phone and reject all "blocked" calls from
coming in
Thanks

I don't know why this is crossposted to three different wireless
groups. Which carrier are you on? I'm not aware of any feature that
VZW offers like that.
I resorted to not giving out my cell number to anyone. I make
everyone call my home phone, and I put Busy Number Call Forward and
Call Forward No Answer on my home line, with both services forwarding
to my cell. Then, when I activated Anonymous Call Reject service on
my land line, no anonymous calls will go through to the cell. They
get stopped at the land line's CO. The 'unavailable" calls still make
it through. And occasionally I will get a 'private" call on my cell,
but it has always been someone calling my cell directly by dialing the
wrong number.

I cross posted because I have Verizon, Nextel and T-Mobile services. Wanted
to know if any of them provided that capability.
I do what you mentioned below but am getting another phone for daughter and
she does not have her own land line phone to forward from

Power user, huh?

That does becomes a problem. I face the same issue with my kids. I
just limit who has their number and instruct them not to answer calls
from numbers not in their phone book. The have 'Ring Master' numbers
at home, but BellSouth (my landline company) doesn't have a way to
selectively forward calls based upon which number was called. At
least not yet.

Handling it manually may be the best way. For example, you call someone and
they say they can't speak right now but they will call back in a minute or
two. If their number is blocked, you won't get the call. If you use manual
selection, you can choose to accept the call because you are pretty
confident it is the desired party on the line.

Re: Blocked Incoming Calls
go to the nextel website and log in. You can add all sorts of restrictions
to your phone free of charge.

In California you can! Unfortunately only private numbers can be blocked
with "Anonymous call rejection" The last time I checked, you can't block
those with Unavailable numbers and they are usually the ones you least
want to receive. I also have looked for a silent ringtone on my Audiovox
CDM9000. If I missed it and a way to associate it with missing numbers,
please let me know.

How can you use an Audiovox CDM9000 on T-Mobile? It's not a GSM
handset.

Re: Blocked Incoming Calls
You cannot reject anonymous calls on Nextel as you can with landline phones,
however depending on the model of the phone you may be able to set call
filters. Call filters tell your unit which calls to ring on the unit and
which will go directly to voicemail (unfortunately it cannot just stop the
anonymous calls).

The thread that won't die! (grin)
Come on, Gang......are many people REALLY having a problem with "blocked
number" calls coming to their cell phones? In fifteen years as a cell phone
user, this has not been an issue for me. Nor have I heard it from our 4,500
member REALTOR® Board members--all of whom use cellular on a regular basis.
I hear a lot of other gripes from them, but not this one.
Let me hasten to say that if folks are using their cell phone as a
replacement for a landline, there are some precautions to be taken. Don't
give out your phone number to ANYONE, including utility companies. Give your
work phone number, where it can go to voice mail if you're not in the
office. Or sign up for a cheap voice mailbox with a local paging company
and give THAT number. It's still cheaper than a landline phone. Since it's
answered 24/7 by a machine, you'll get very little from telemarketers.
Be very wary of systems which REJECT "number-blocked" calls, unless you live
in a very small world which you absolutely control. Examples of calls from
blocked phones which most folks would prefer get through:
*Your daughter is calling from a pay phone because she just locked her keys
(and cell phone) inside her car;
*The appliance serviceman who is calling from his cell phone to get better
directions to your house;
*The doctor who is on call and is returning your request for advice about
your son with the 102-degree temperature (and who is slightly outside his
normal footprint, causing his cell phone number not to transmit);
*Your friends who, like you, both BLOCK their numbers and REJECT blocked
calls.
I think I see a sitcom story line or movie sub-plot developing. Single guy
meets great gal (played by Julia Roberts?) at party. She asks for his phone
number. In giving it, he forgets to tell her she will have to unblock her
phone. A few weeks later, he sees her at another party, but this time, she
is dating his best friend or brother. He says, "I thought you would call."
"I tried," she replies. "But your phone would not accept the call. With
Jerry, I got right through. Sorry, Charlie."
Watch for this one next season. And if you call to tell me you enjoyed it,
UNBLOCK YOUR NUMBER, Dimwit! :-)

Re: Blocked Incoming Calls
Look you stupid ****. You may not want to block your phone, but others
may. Having someone call with a blocked number is annoying. If you
can't unblock your number or you won't, then don't call.
Your perception of why a number shouldn't be blocked is annoying.
