Blocking a number

byrner88

im just wondering is there anyway i can block a number from calling or txting my fone ?

krudler

unfortunately not, a network can only block all numbers from calling you not individual ones, if its not a private number get the guards to investigate it,or you could just change your number

Actually you can (on a Nokia anyway) what you do is enter your contacts into groups and then in your profile click to only accept calls from certain groups....wont stop texts though..bit slow and tedious but it will work..

What model phone have you?

sharkman

That will work for calls not texts .

There are third party programs for "blackballing" certain numbers .

As I said

Why don't you get a firefly - www.fireflymobile.ie

JohnnieM

That'll do the trick allright (inc no texts at all) ... so long as your under 15 and dont mind been seen with one. . lol:D

"Many parents are reluctant to give young children mobile phones because they cannot control the calls they receive or make. The Firefly phone is designed to allay these fears and puts you in charge of your little one’s calls."

I don't think there is a phone out there that you can't limit calls on.

how's that then? if the option to limit calls is on the phone then the kid can just disable the limitations. and i don't think there's a way to disable only certain calls on the network side. and the firefly has an option to only accept calls from numbers in the phone book

Closed user group. Closed user group is a network service that specifies the group of people whom you can call and who can call you. - from nokia

I can do that on my SE in the call settings I can manage what calls are accepted i.e. only those from the list I create.
