Sometimes situations arise when the phone constantly receives calls from someone with whom there is absolutely no desire to communicate. In such cases, you can block calls from the subscriber, but usually this service is paid. At the same time, there are free ways to block a number.
Instructions
Step 1
Explore the technical capabilities of your mobile phone. Some models have special features with which you can block the number for free. They are usually found in the address book settings.
Step 2
Take advantage of a special trick that can be used on almost all modern devices. First, make sure the voicemail service is disabled on your SIM card. Then go to the contacts menu and select the one you want to block. In the contact settings, check the box next to “Route all calls to voicemail”. The subscriber will be able to call your number, but given that this service is disabled for you, he will constantly hear only short beeps, as if the line is busy. You, in turn, will not be disturbed by an unwanted interlocutor. This is one of the easiest ways to block a number for free.
Step 3
Install on your device one of the special applications created specifically for fine-tuning incoming calls. These programs are usually available for installation on smartphones running Google Android, iOS, Windows Mobile and other mobile platforms. The most effective of them, allowing you to block a number for free, are Call Blocking, Ultimate Blacklist, Root Call Blocker and some others. You will be able to download them on a site with media content for your mobile platform.
Step 4
Check the website of your mobile operator periodically. From time to time, information on new tariffs may appear on it, providing for the ability to block unwanted numbers for free or to activate this feature for a relatively small amount. Also, feedback from the operator will help you unblock the number if you accidentally blocked the subscriber's access to calls to your phone.
