Next, see if your phone has selective ring tones. Assign a ringtone for every person/number in your address book then set your main ring tone to silent or vibrate. Again all other calls from people not programmed into the phone go directly to voicemail.

If you have selective ring tones which most cell phones do, save the number of the person that keeps calling and set it to silent or vibrate, that way you don’t hear the phone ringing and it goes straight to voicemail.

Still not working? OK, signup for a voicemail service that can screen your calls. Callwave works good. When someone calls just don’t answer, the call will be forwarded to callwave, they will hear a voicemail message then be instructed to leave a message, callwave will then call you back and let you hear the message as it’s being recorded, you can then press 1 and the call is connected and you can talk to the caller or just hang up and it goes to voicemail.

Still being harrased? Now it’s time to get serious.

Signup for callcentric at http://www.callcentric.com it’s a VOIP internet phone service like vonage. Cost around $6-$10 a month depending on the package plus .01 cents a minute. Now you can forward your calls to your new callcentric number. Then setup call treatments (up to 30 numbers). When someone calls your phone, don’t answer, let it forward to your callcentric number, then it will be restricted in different ways depending on your settings. You can send that call directly to voicemail, send it to a busy signal, send it to an error message (your call is not being accepted), or foward the call to another number like Dominoes or a movie theater. Outgoing forwarded calls will be charged .01 a minute which can be charged to paypal or a credit card OR you can setup another FREE callcentric account using a different name then forward to the other callcentric VOIP number which is FREE since VOIP to VOIP calls are free, setup the voicemail for that number using a different name. Now the unwanted caller calls your phone, you already stored their number with no ring tone, don’t answer the phone, then it forwards to callcentric, it is already stored on your call treatments to forward to your other fake callcentric number with fake voicemail message, now everytime that person calls they get a voicemail message from John Doe instead of you and you never have to deal with the caller.

Play around a little and you may find some other neat tricks. Make thet person go through hell everytime they call, sooner or later they give up. Works great on telemarketers and bill collectors too.

type the letter “B” (then hit the # key to make a space)then add the 10 digit MDN (mobile directory number, or otherwise known as their phone number. Then hit the send button. This will immediiately go into effect. The texting party will then receive a message the next time they text you that they are being blocked. Hope this helps someone.
to unblock you insert a “U” space and then the 10 digit number.

I did call ATT (via the 611 #). The rep was sympathetic and gave me options, but told me that they don’t have the technology to block numbers/calls like that.
