Can you block an unknown or anonymous incoming call to your cell phone?

[minnie aubre]

I have T-Mobile if that makes any difference. I looked at their website but I couldn't find anything.

 

TIA!

My brother has Sprint. They couldnt do it either.

IT WOULD BE NICE...

 

Anybody that calls ME...costs me (IF I HAD A CELL PHONE)

[Islandgal]

when I had my stalker, I downloaded an app that would block unknown or anonymous calls..also I forwarded all calls to something like a GrandCentral ph #..

eventually my stalker must have found someone else to stalk..

Verizon will block known numbers but I doubt t-mobil will do anything.

 

T-mobil will change your number pretty easily.

 

Edit: Be certain to change your voicemail first because it will leave a "the subscriber's number has been changed to xxx-xxx-xxxx" message.

There is a way. I just had to do this for my dd. Someone kept calling her at 2am with a restricted number. I called T-Mobile customer service and they walked me through it.

I was just wondering how to block calls on my tmobile phone yesterday and found YOUMAIL.COM . It's free and it's pretty cool. You can block unknown/anonymous call, or any phone number you want. You can also have custom voicemail greetings for everyone in your phone.

 

So for example, if a creditor keeps calling your cell phone, you can have a message to tell them not to calll, then it will hang up on them. It's also good for ex girlfriends too.

 

I'm trying to find a list of ALL the NCO #'s, then i'm gonna black them all.

 

GOOD LUCK!

I am off to see if I can get something to work.

Tmo doesn't charge for call forwarding. The only carrier that might hit you up for it is Sprint, IIRC.

 

I love the concept of Youmail, particularly since I can run it from my BB. I will be combining it with Google Voice and GVDialer.

 

Do you find the service satisfactory?

I love it but it does coast me $.20 as I am a Sprint customer.

The only way right now to do it on an Iphone is to jailbreak the phone and the feature will be there. So I guess I have to jailbreak my phone

[minnie aubre]

Yes, I did give youmail a try. Stryker is right, tmobile does not charge for the forwarding.

[Stryker]

Yep, between that and GV, I should have my main number pretty well shielded going forward.

[Dane]

is there any service like youmail that sprint will let you use without a forwarding fee each call??

None that I have heard of. None of the chatter I have heard of mentions any alternatives.

tmo does not charge. or maybe it's up to 500 free, something like that. but you'd have to switch carriers...
