Need help Blocking calls

[pmagalei]

I need help blocking calls usually it's 2 numbers they usually call at the most annoying time(while sleeping or middle of work) . I believe it is either a collection agency or a scam call. They do not leave a message. Sometimes they call about 7-8 minutes apart. But it's usually the same numbers. I have a basic cell but I do not use the internet nor do I know how to block it. Anyone who can help will be appreciative. Thanks and enjoy your gobble gobble day!

I have an Android and I use a free app called DU caller that lets you mark numbers as spam or legit. They also have a big database that already has many numbers logged. It immediately makes my phone block lots of numbers until they finally stop calling.

Aww thanks I have just a basic cell. I have an LG410. I don't have any apps not sure if I do. I am waiting for my wife to take it to Costco and ask someone there if they can do something I am tired of getting calls from area code 602.

If you think it is a collection agency then answer the phone and talk to them.  If it is a spam caller all you can do is ignore it if you only have a basic phone.  You might can call your provider but with a basic phone I don't think you have the option of blocking callers.

I have a pretty cheap cell, I can go to call history, missed calls, then I can choose to add to blocked list.

Have you tried googling LG410 how to block calls?

]I have tried googling but it doesn't having anything there for my type phone. Now I searched online for that phone number and there are a lot of people who reported that it was people from midland credit collection/scam agency. I don't have any past due bills nor do I owe anyone anything. They called twice today. I was told once you answered it, They will continue to call and call. So I didn't answer it!!!

     Oh no! Those obnoxious telephone telemarketers trying to scam people again!
There has to be an easier way to stop them!

There is.  Ignore the call.  When I receive calls from unknown numbers or even other countries (yes it has happened) I just do not answer the phone.  You can block that specific number but they usually have a ton of numbers they call from.  Or they spoof the number so there is no way to block it.  I was with a friend one time and his phone rang and he looked at it and it was HIS phone number.  He said "how am I calling myself"?  I told him not to answer it.

Just don't answer the call and let it go straight to voice mail and if no message, just delete.

The only problem I really have now that I can block calls fast is that when they do get through, they force me to go delete a bunch of voicemails that are just some automatic machine saying "goodbye."

You can go to cell phone address list to block it. It will show that number call but it will not ring or vibration. Do not call list is not helping no more. Good luck

let it go to voicemail

If it is important then they will leave a voice mail.. It probably is telemarketer or a wrong phone call.. I would put the call in ignore/block/spam.. Usually tht will block the number... If you are harassed by telemarketers, apply for Do Not Call Registry in FTC site.. That will tell telemarketers to stop calling or if they keep on harassing, they will get a fine by the FTC (by complaint)

I hate blocking phone numbers, email addresses, and online accounts. Just because you would block a phone number doesn't mean the caller will stop calling you. That person might try calling you again from another phone number. Think about cyberbullying. When someone blocks a cyberbully, the cyberbully will have a desire to start another account and keep harassing that person.

try calling your cell phone provider and give the numbers to them. maybe they can block from their end so the calls don't go through
