Most service providers can do that for you. Usually you can call them to ask them to block certain numbers, and some service providers can block all calls that you receive and vice versa. And some phones do have features like that but pretty expensive. Just call your SP and ask to block certain numbers.

ok well if you mean when they call so other people can't see the number, you can program their number in, and then put a different name to it.

Go to your cell phone menu & check the settings. For some reason, I am recalling an option on my cell phone that I can block phone numbers, but maybe I'm just crazy. But if it does get serious, you can contact your cellular service & they can block a number. If it's just some teenage pranksters, I wouldn't worry about it. They'll get bored in 2 days tops.

good luck- :)

I think you can. You have to call youre phone company and ask them. I am sure they will be able too and if not, then just ignore them :/

Sorry

I'm about 80% sure that you can't block numbers on cell phones. Sorry. Personally, I've never actually tried to block somebody's number, but I haven't heard of people blocking numbers.

[[ EDIT ]]
Now, I'm 100% sure. I just asked my mom and she said that she called Cingular [[ our cell provider ]] about a month ago and they said that you can't block calls. Try checking with your phone service though. You might have Verizon or another network.

Hope I helped!
