How to block calls and texts on an iPhone?

I'm having a problem with how to block incoming calls and texts from a specific person. He won't stop harassing or spamming me. I can't jailbreak my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay monthly for it on at&t I'm only 14, and I don't need it. How do you block that person for free? If you can.

Need to block a specific phone number from calling or texting your iPhone? It could be telemarketers, spam text messages, or that crank that won't stop calling and messaging. Apple's iOS does not have a built-in feature to block a phone number, but there are other solutions.

1. Your carrier might be able to block individual numbers.AT&T has an optional feature called Smart Limits for Wireless that runs $4.99 per month. One of the many functions is the capability to block up to 30 numbers from calling or texting your iPhone. Verizon Wireless offers Spam Control for no additional charge. This feature can be found under My Services when logged into your account, and blocks up to 5 numbers from calling or texting.
2. Owners of jailbroken iPhones can install apps from the Cydia Store that will block phone numbers.iBlacklist is fully compatible with all iOS devices, iOS 5 and older firmware. For a one-time cost of $12, iBlacklist adds a plethora of useful features to your iPhone including the ability to block calls and texts from individual numbers. MobileLog is currently in development and will be offered for sale to jailbroken iPhone owners soon. The app will also provide many enhancements to the stock calling app as well as number blocking.
3. Make sure you've registered your iPhone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. This will not stop texts, but it will require most telemarketers to stop calling your line within 31 days. Complaints can also be filed using the same website, and phone number registrations with the service never expire.
4. Assign a silent ringtone to the numbers you don't want to answer. This stops calls from bothering you, but texts will still sound an alert. The iPhone doesn't come with a silent ringtone by default, but you can install and configure a silent ringtone with these instructions.
5. Another calling only solution are services such as TrapCall, which has plans starting at $4.95 per month. No iPhone app installation is required, and once you're signed up TrapCall will unmask blocked caller IDs and blacklist unwanted callers. More expensive plans can be purchased that offer more in-depth functions.

  • What's a FREE iPhone 4S app that blocks calls and texts? I have "Blacklist" but my phone still rings and says "Incoming call from BLOCKED" and it allows the random caller to leave a voicemail. I looked at the phone book entry in my phone and added that number to the Verizon.com block list but that only works for 6 months.
  • Is there an iPhone app for blocking calls and texts? I had an app on my last android phone called 'call blacklist' you could add numbers you didn't want to have text or call you. And if those numbers did, it showed it in a message log on the app. Is there anything like that for the iPhone? I really could use it.
  • Is there a way to block all calls and texts on an iPhone 7 plus? I'm traveling to Dominican Republic a week Saturday. As some may know the ridiculous amount phone companies charge you to use your phone there. The resort I'm staying has Wi-Fi which I will be using so airplane mode is not really an option.
