I have a person that keeps calling me over and over again, how do I block them from calling and texting through AT&T. (I don't want to just set a silent ringtone for this person)

Re: How to block a number from calling or texting
I think your best bet would be to call your providor and give it a shot, but I don't think they'd do it, I had the same problem with an ex, and AT&T wouldn't let me block the number from calling me.

Re: How to block a number from calling or texting
From myexpierence, negative... You are not able to get this done from any phone carrier that I am aware of.
From my Work standpoint: The only options you really have are :
1) Change your phone number
2) Use the Silent Ringtone
3) Ignore them and hope they go away sometime soon
I do appoligize for this, its a PITA (Pain in the a$$) but its very hard to do something unless they are making specific threats.
On the other hand, if you want some assistance, or other recomendations, PM Me, and I can try to help with other things! LOL

You can enroll in AT&T Smart Limits. You can also get a number change for free if it's due to harassing phone calls. Number change will only be free for the first time. Each additional time it will be $36.

Submit your ex's number on those spammer sites, that way your ex will be too busy handling other harassing calls to call you.
sorry not technically helpfully, but it might make you feel better.
Changing your number seems like such a pain in the @$$. Sorry couldnt be more helpful

Subscribe to TrapCall dot com. They have a free service, but it messes up delivery of your voicemail (you have to call their access number to retrieve them). I subscribe to their cheapest plan (less than 3 bucks a month) which lets my voicemail work normally, but both the free and their cheapest plan lets you block calls. It's awesome and great for spam calls and those pesky people you don't ever want to hear from again!! The service also stores your voicemails on their website until you delete them. Works with AT&T and I think Verizon.

If you have T-Mobile you can use the 'Diverted Calls' option under edit contact. Pull the contact up as if you're editing them, and turn on the Diverted Calls option. Once it is turned on, their calls will go to voicemail immediately every time they call you.
