In your case, you can call your service provider and ask them to block the number for you. It may ask you to install their version of call blocking on your phone.
- You have to make a list of all the incoming phone numbers you want to block.
- Activate the service. Specify the numbers you want to block.
- Your phone will no longer accept calls or text messages from these numbers.

You have to jailbreak your phone. You can use a program such as Redsnow or QuickPwn. This allows you to run applications on your iPhone that have not been approved by Apple. This is essential to unlocking your iPhone because the applications (e.g. Cydia) used in the blocking process are not Apple approved.
- Turn your phone on
- Go to the App store >> Purchase an app - MobileGate (made by Cydia)
- Download and install MobileGate >> Open the App
- It will ask you to divide your iPhone's contact list into a White List and a Black List. (The White List is the list of calls you are willing to take. The Black List is the list of calls you want to block.) >> Create a separate White List and Black List for your incoming phone calls and also for your incoming text messages.
- Go to the Profile screen inside MobileGate >> Set the on/off toggle switches, which will allow you to block or accept your entire contact list, your Black List, your White List, all unknown calls and all private calls or calls where caller ID is blocked.
- Go to the "Settings" screen within the app >> Enable MobileGate by flipping the on/off toggle switch to On
- Decide whether you want to hang up on unwanted calls and text messages or simply to ignore them. Check the appropriate choice under the "Block Mode" section of the MobileGate Settings screen.
If you choose to ignore calls and text messages, the callers still can call (will hear your iPhone ring) or text you, but you will not be aware that they are calling or texting.
- 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 tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- 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 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?
