Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2006How to set V3 to ignore calls?
G'day all. A quick question, is it possible to set a RAZR to ignore all calls that are from numbers that aren't in the PB? I don't care about folks that I don't know, calling me. They can leave a message and I'll get back to 'em later...if I feel like it. But if there's a way to set that, I've not been able to figure it out... TIA, Dusty >G'day all.

I was of course referring to the V3 (note the subject of the thread), not the V551. >its the restricting calls menu. AFAIK the Security -> Restrict Calls feature of the V551 simply restricts incoming or outgoing calls, which isn't what the OP is asking for. Is there something else I've missed?

Is there >something else I've missed? Oops -- cancel that -- I stand corrected. I hadn't actually checked the options, and now that I have, I see you are correct. Thanks for the tip. SignatureBest regards, FAQ FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS John Navas <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cingular_Wireless_FAQ> What I did for a while was set my default ringbone to SILENT...So unless they were in the phonebook with an assigned ringbone I never heard the phone ring or vibrate. > G'day all.

Ah, ha! So that's it. Thanks for the tip. I'll be fooling around with it to see what I can see... I had thought that "SILENT" was global, and would override any ring election. That being not the case, how would one silence the phone if one went into the theater, for instance...(short of turning it off)...? Dusty >> G'day all.

Not a idea solution, but I set my ringer for any Caller ID non-recognized phone numbers to silent mode and the ones in my list to a loud ring. >> G'day all.

I'm amazed that reading the answers to your posts. Every cell phone I've owned had/has the ability to block calls from phones not listed in the address book. I have a new V551 and can tell it to ignore any cal not in my address book, it's under the security menu. did motorola leave it out on the razr? >>> G'day all.

I'm equally amazed, since I've never seen such a feature in any of the phones I've owned. Which ones have you owned? SignatureBest regards, FAQ FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS John Navas <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cingular_Wireless_FAQ> John, et. al., There is an option under "Security" on the V551 that seems to indicate allowing only calls in the address book. Looks like it can be applied to either inbound or outbound calls. Never noticed it before. > [POSTED TO alt.cellular.cingular - REPLY ON USENET PLEASE] > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > phones > I've owned. Which ones have you owned?

None of my Sprint phones could do it and haven't been on Cingular for five years. > G'day all. A quick question, is it possible to set a RAZR to ignore all > calls that are from numbers that aren't in the PB? The manuals are so poor, it's hard to say if this is on the v3 or not. The feature is on my Motorola v551. I've never used it. Settings - Security - Restrict Calls - default code is 1234 Incoming Calls - Allow: all, none, address book. According to Cingular forums, this doesn't block a caller that does not provide caller ID. "Private" will still ring on your phone.

Looks that way. I'll be the first to admit that I've not figured out all of the bells & whistles in the durn thang. But that kind of "simple", "ordinary", "typical" functionality seems to be missing. I guess it was far more important to get all of those media connections and other "important" features into it...never mind that it's still a phone. And folks use it to call others... <big sigh!> Sometimes I'm beginning to feel like the technology is passing me by...never a good thing to feel when one likes to think that they're in and involved with the leading edge of "stuff"... <bigger sigh!> Thanks anyway for your help, "cyberwasp"... Dusty San Jose, Ca. > Sometimes I'm beginning to feel like the technology is passing me > by...never a good thing to feel when one likes to think that they're in > and involved with the leading edge of "stuff"... <bigger sigh!> Best brace yourself. The next six months are really exciting times for technology releases. Else, you might want to consider 'cocooning' like my sister in Las Vegas. They chose the arts of technology they like as per HDTV, Internet, online gaming, music downloads; discarded all else like cell phones, GPS, MIDI, etc. Heres a way to do it... I have no idea why it works but I found this o another forum while searching and my g/f tried it on her RAZR and i works... Go to phonebook, click the menu button and go to add a new #, go to th field to add a new phone number and press the menu button... it shoul give you an option to add a pause ("p")... the p is the only thing yo want in the phone number field dont add anything else... you can the set the name of that entry to "Private Number" or "Don't Answer" o whatever else you would like... then set the ringtone for this entry t SILENT... should work just fine... Also worth noting if you don't have the option to make individua ringtones for your entries it is because you are saving the entrie onto the SIM card rather than the phone... to fix this just save th entry onto the phone and you will have all the personalized setting for each phone number available to you (such as ringtone, picture, etc Very interesting, "minig0d". I'm gong to have to fool with that and give it a try... Thanks! DustyB > Heres a way to do it...
