Question

How do I block a call on flip phone?

Community Answer

If the phone doesn't have a call blocking option built in, you can typically block the number on your provider's website. Verizon, for example, allows you to add 5 numbers through their web page that will then be blocked.

Question

How can I block my sim card because someone is still using it to threaten me?

Community Answer

If you have any real security concerns regarding a threat, you should file a police report. In terms of blocking an individual on your mobile device, if you have a Samsung, click on the number, then the "I" icon for information, it will pull up the recent contacts with that individual. On the top right area, click on the 3 dots for more options and click "Block Contact". For Apple, you can click on a number or contact to pull up their information page, scroll down to the bottom and click "Block this caller".

Question

How do I block a restricted number?

Community Answer

If the call is from a restricted number, there is no way to block it. Some carriers or devices may give you an option to block all restricted calls, or just simply do not answer the phone.
