IPhone 4s. How to block certain calls etc? - 1

Is there an app where you can block certain phone calls and texts from numbers? My iPhone isn't jailbroken and I'm not sure how to do this

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.

OR

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.

  • Why won't Facebook let me move certain photos to certain albums? I want to move certain photos to certain albums and when I click on "edit album" then i hit this arrow button on the picture and when i hit "move to another album" it gave me an option of 2-3 albums to put the picture into. What should I do? The picture i have in the album was from my iPhone that i currently don't have anymore and that's the last picture of it! Please help me! I don't wanna erase the album or any other!
  • 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.
  • IPhone apps to block certain phone numbers? My cell has been ringing off the hook from three specific numbers. I'm not sure if they're telemarketers or what, but it's driving me insane. Today alone I've had 14 calls. Is there an app I can download that can at least stop them from making my phone ring or just, block them?
  • How to delete certain FaceTime calls from your history? The only thing it says is "clear all" and I don't want to clear all of it. Is there a way to only delete some of them? (from my iPod, not iPhone ; if that matters) thanks c
