How to block a phone number on my IPhone 4?
A number I don't recognize keeps calling me every freakin 15 minutes, almost like sexual harassment. It's been going on for 3 days now, I don't answer I always press ignore, but I want to block this number, do I have to call my carrier? I have sprint.
I believe there might be some special software that allows "blackmail" option. But you might considering googling that, coz there might be many types.mainly if you jailbreak
I'm sorry to hear about your inconvenience. I've had calls like that and it is indeed frustrating.
And you're right. Call blocking option is primarily controlled at the provider level. This means you can simply contact your telephone company and have them block the caller's phone number. That should filter all the caller's future calls from coming through.
Lastly, I suggest you report the phone number to http://www.callercenter.com for phone call harassment.
There are applications that do this if you have jailbroken your iPhone. Without jailbreaking however there isn't a way to block a single or specific incoming number. I've known people that have requested their provider to block a certain number and without a very good (usually legal) reason, they won't do it.

- When you Block Caller on iPhone, does it completely block them or do they show up as Unknown? I routinely "Block Caller" telemarketers, so does using the iPhone "Block Caller" option block all calls, or will the calls still come through and just show up as "Unknown"? I've received a lot of "Unknown" phone calls lately, so that's what I was attributing it to.
- Is it possible to block block numbers? I have a iPhone I just a call about an hour ago. It was from a blocked number they left a voice mail witch was only 3 seconds long. S/he didn't even say anything. I would love to know if I can block this. They are really scary for me.
- If you block a phone number on an iPhone 5s with Verizon is there a record of it? Someone is saying that I blocked them from calling and texting me and I would like to prove them wrong. Is there a way for me to prove that I have never blocked their number?
- If someone were to block my text now number would it block my normal number? I was teasing my girlfriend on my text now and she blocked me and I tired calling her and texting her on my normal number but she won't reply and it only run once and hung up. She has an iPhone, would it block my normal number if she blocked my text now number?
