Is It possible to block someone from being able to contact your phone?

I don't know what they do over there? Here you can block someone if you want to...I have caller ID which helps.....and the only ones to have my cell number are family members and my closest friends! Good luck...that has got to be a pain!

That's the trouble with mobiles and one of the main reasons I hate them, they are so intrusive and if someone has your number you can't get shot of them, other than changing your number which is costly and time consuming as you have to then inform all your friends of your change of number. I very rarely if ever give my mobile number out, I only tend to use my mobile as an emergency gadget when I am driving. I hope you get rid of this idiot my dear friend, it's great to see you hear, sorry I can't provide anything more helpful for you.

I am sorry Ellie. I have very little idea on this though. Changing the number surely would help but that's a hassle. The service provider might tell you about it in details, I guess. You stay cool dear. Things will be fine. Huggles mimpi

I think you can take that number and put it on a really quiet ring so that it won't wake you up, one phone we had we could pick rings nor no ring if we wanted to

Here after we ask them not to contact us we report them to the phone company and if they continue charges can be filed against them. You would have to notify them that if they continue to bother you then you will have the phone company get involved. Iknow what you are talking about as there is a person on yahoo games that is determined to get into my Fb account, they take the pictures of small kids or your pictures and post them on a site that is a known child preditor. They write horrible things under the pictures. She found out that I was friends with several people that played cards there got them to add her to their friends list then when they would post a message for them, their face popped up on my page on FB, I had no choice but to delete the friends. It is a shame that you can not enjoy a site to play cards or sites like FB without some azz there to cause you problems, they have no life and can you imagine if they do it here what they must do in real life. Can you feel sorry for them, NO, so do what ever it takes to keep them away from you. If you ask a person,to leave you alone, or deny them access to your page and they just keep coming back, then they are there only to cause you trouble, or really stupid.

It is possible to block someone from calling your phone. All you have to do is call up your phone company and tell them the number and why.

hi Ellie, yes there is a service you can get for a few pennies a month or there is a special number you on your phone starts with * ask your telephone company and they will tell you what to do. Sorry I have not been around in so long.

I don't think there is any need for you to buy a new phone or change your number ellie. What a pain this guy is doing this to you. If you know for certain it's this guy and you have issues with him and you can prove it then first thing to do is contact the cops. This is either harassment, stalking or disturbing the peace and he is in the wrong. The cops might just go see him and put the wind up him. They will probably also be able to tell you what the best thing to do is. Failing that, ring your service provider/phone company and tell them you don't want to buy a new phone or change your number and they should be able to give you the best advice.

The only two ways I know is if that person is a telemarketer who works for a company and you can put him on the Do Not Call List. The other way is for you to change your number to an unlisted number and give it to those who you want to hear from. There is another way, ditch the land line for a cell phone, but I would not recommend it because it is easier to locate a 911 from a land line then it is from a cell phone. If you suspect this neighbor is a stalker, you could call the police.

hi ellie333 I would take it to the phone co, then to the police as there has to be a way to stop those nuisance calls. After all this is a form of harrassment and think the police would think so too. good luck, I have had a finance company harassing me over a bunch of names,probably creditors, that I have never heard tell of. I talked to the operator but she said there was nothing they could do . seems my number was owned by some boarding house with multiple residents and the finance company has the same number I now have. I have an answering machine somewhere in out storage but that does me no good here..

Hi ellie, The beset thing to do is get in touch with your phone company, they maybe able to help you, many years ago when my brother was making a nuisence of himself rining my mum, I had the phone company to block it, cannot remember how but they will be able to tell you, good luck, love and hugs.

Hi Ellie~ I don't know how your phone service works in the UK, but here in the USA we can make our number "private" and if we do we can only except phone calls from people who "reveal their phone number meaning that if they try to block their number the call won't go through"! I don't have that feature, but I do know someone who does! I take "private caller", but I don't always answer the call! I owe money on a credit card and don't like to answer a call unless I know exactly who it is! You should look into the "private caller block" with your phone company and see what they say or make a police report! They will definitely listen to a "harassment charge"!

In Australia, as far as I know we have no way of being able to block someone from calling and the only way is to change the phone number which is a real pain. You can screen your calls by leaving the answering machine on and you can turn the volume quite low so it is unlikely to wake you up. I used to do that when my daughter was a newborn and I needed to sleep when she slept during the day; I am a light sleeper and the low sound of the phone didn’t wake me up!

I don't think the phone company has a way to block specific numbers. However, there used to be a gizmo that you could purchase at electronics stores that would disconnect any caller that was not on your 'approved' list. You could check around and see if something like that is still available. If it's not, you have two choices. One is to rely on your caller ID to identify that individual when they call, and just not answer. You would still have to put up with the annoying rings though. The other is to get your number changed to an unlisted number...and just not give it out. If any of the calls have been threatening in any way, you might be able to get a restraining order against further contact. In that case, continued calls could put the neighbor in jail.

Wow i don't even know that you could block someone from contacting your phone yea , i think if you really want to break contact then change your number then.

Hi, ellie333. If you have call block you can block their number or any other number that they are calling you from. Private numbers can't be blocked. And if possible you may have to change your telephone number so that your neighbors will no longer call you. If they call you early in the mornings, just don't answer their phone call. That is too early to be calling someones house anyway if it isn't an emergency.

The only way I know is to change your number. If you have an ID program on your phone you can let all your calls go to the recording and answer only those you want.

there are some phones that have the capability to do that, specially those smart phones like android and iphone. also there are some applications for some specific phones that have incoming call blocking. the only thing is, some only works if you are in the US or other country. also, you need to know the phone number to be blocked so that it can reach you anymore. its like yahoo messenger, before you can block someone, you have to know his ym iD.
