• Blocking phone numbers on the iphone 4.
    5 replies, posted
Now I know this my sound stupid to most of you. I'm not to aware of how to block phone numbers since I've never had to do it myself. But from what I know some mobile phones are capable of doing it right off the phone it's self. I've looked around a bit and the isn't a lot you can do unless you jailbreak which I'm not going through the effort to find out it doesn't work. Plus from recent people that have jailbroken their iphones they are complaining about battery life decreasing. I personally need my battery for work, going out ect. If the is a way without a lot of messing around with my mobile network provider that would be great.
The iPhone has no built in functionality to do this. Short of jailbreaking, you will have to call your carrier and have them block those calls for you.
You can do it off of Verizon's website. I forget how, but I've done it before. Now if you have the ATT iPhone that's probably different, but I can't imagine they wouldn't have something similar to Verizon.

I'm personally with o2. After doing more looking around I found out o2 don't have the power to stop anonymous calls or block numbers in general. For reasons like it would take longer for calls and SMS's to get through. Understandable. But Apple can if they bring in the feature them selves. I wrote Apple a review purely on this feature also mentioning not all carriers can help. So the isn't any real reason why they can't do this since Samsung phones can and also Nokia phones can. Hopefully they will do it eventually. But I can't imagine this hasn't been bought up before on older models.
You can assign "blank" ringtones to specific contacts if you have a blank ringtone in your library. In all honesty though if you're jailbreaking just for iBlacklist (which works quite nicely mind you) then you're going to see next to no battery hit. It's only when you install a lot of stuff do you see your battery life take a hit.
I have a jailbroken iPod touch 4g and I get like 4 days battery life with moderate use.
