If you are tired of annoying friends or even ubiquitous scammers, you can block your phone number so that other subscribers do not call. To do this, you need to use the options from the mobile operators or the settings in the cell phone itself.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to block a phone number from calling is to use the system functionality of a mobile phone. Most often, the blocking option is available on smartphones. For example, open your address book and select the subscriber you want to restrict calls from. If you receive calls from a number that is not in the list of contacts, add it there and name it, for example, "unwanted subscriber 1" (later you may have several similar numbers). In the subscriber settings, search and select the "block" or "add to the blacklist" option.
Step 2
The phone number blocking option works as follows: your smartphone will automatically drop all calls from an unwanted caller. The owner of the phone will not even know that they tried to call him, while the caller will display the message “number busy” at each attempt. It should be noted that many devices allow you to maintain a blacklist, enable or disable it in various situations in the general settings of the phone.
Step 3
It often happens that there is no blacklist option, so you can block a phone number so that they don't call in some tricky ways. For example, make sure you don't have active voicemail on your number. Next, in the options for the unwanted number, activate the "send calls directly to voicemail" option. When trying to get through, the subscriber will see the same inscription that the number is busy. In addition, you can add a subscriber to the blacklist using special applications that can be downloaded from the AppStore, Play Market or any other system store, depending on the device. Search for programs by keywords "blacklist", "block".
Step 4
The Black List service is available for connection from almost all major mobile operators. Most often it is paid and involves the imposition of blocking on certain numbers by the specialists of the cellular company. You can connect the option in any communication salon, through your personal account on the operator's website, or by calling the free round-the-clock support number. Please note that calls from a number from another city or country, as well as from any suspiciously behaving subscriber, can be blocked through the operator for free. Usually, the employees of the communication salons satisfy such a request on demand.
