Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / April 2007blocking calls
does anybody know if you can block a specific number from calling you while on Sprint's network? tx Dale > does anybody know if you can block a specific number from calling you > while on Sprint's network? > > tx > Dale In the past I've saved the number to my phone book and set the ringer to "none." That way the phone just lights up when they call but makes no noise.....unless the caller leaves a voicemail. Maybe there's some other way but I don't know it. >> does anybody know if you can block a specific number from calling you >> while on Sprint's network?

My Treo 650 didn't have a "none" ringer, so I ended up recording a 1 second, low bit-rate WAV file. I've now set "speed-dial" bookmarks for the common telemarketer phone numbers I've encountered, with the make "Telemarket" and the silent ringer. I was surprised that it was so difficult to find out how to add new ringers. I think someone here eventually explained it to me. You just record a WAV file and put it on a web server. Then you browse to that file with your web browser, and add it to the Sounds application. By the way, if you want that silent ringer for your Treo, browse to http://bbuzz.net/ringers.html what some times works. in the case of computer dialed calls when you answer it, quickly , and continue till it disconnects alternately click on the * and # keys till they hang up. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# it confuses the computer auto dialer and you end up getting taken out of the loop. believe it thinks it is the phone co invalid number tones. mikeyhsd@comcast.net does anybody know if you can block a specific number from calling you while on Sprint's network? tx Dale > what some times works. > in the case of computer dialed calls when you answer it, quickly , and [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > mikeyhsd@comcast.net There have been reports of automated calls that play a recording in Spanish. All 3 phones on my plan get these from time to time, and googling turns up other reports of it. The last 4 digits of the phone number are always repeating, like 4646, 8282, etc. I usually don't answer unknown numbers but have a few times accidentally. The Spanish calls aren't that frequent, but they have my curiosity up. The *#*#*# thing sounds interesting. Thanks. I've had the same problem. Is there anyone out there that speaks spanish and can tell us what they are pitching?

Is there anyone in the US that speaks Spanish? You're kidding, right? <g>  SignatureNotan Yeah I know. I was refering to this newsgroup. I live in the LA area and there almost as many Spanish AM stations as English. :-( Bill >> I've had the same problem.

Actually, the most common one that I get is 859-212-1501 and -1502 I wouldn't bother answering these, and have given them the "silent" treatment I described earlier. |
