Question

How can I tell if I am being blocked?

Community Answer

The best was to tell if your number has been blocked is to call the suspected number. If after one ring the phone goes directly to voicemail (similar to when the phone is not powered on), then call the phone back, blocking your number by dialing *67 prior to dialing the phone number. See if someone picks up then.

Question

How do I add specific numbers to my blocking list with a Blackberry 10?

Community Answer

Add numbers to the app's black list. By default, BlockIt will block all numbers on your black list. You can add as many numbers as you'd like to this list. Tap the "+" button to add a new number to the list. You'll be able to select a number from your recent calls, add a contact, or type the number in manually.

Can I block a call on my cell phone using my computer?

Community Answer

No, it's unlikely you'll be able to block a call using your computer, but you can check with your carrier to see if that's possible.
