blocking numbers

[Anonymous]

Why does the sales description for the various devices not say that "call blocking" is not available on O2, except for Samsung who have this function in their software. Sorry the old "it is too complicated to introduce is just waffle., they could if theyt wanted to, and to say change number is stupid, I have had the same number from cellnet/O2 for 17 years in one form or another, so please give customers what they want not what you can supply at zero cost, like dum reward points.

The Samsung solution is very simple, you get a call or message, you add that number to the barred list. Job done.

So all you have to do is stick with Samsung phones then.

I posted a link to an app that does that on any android phone, so you don't have to have Samsung. iPhones also have this option built in as do HTC phones. As you haven't told us what phone you are using we can't offer you a solution, although you seem hell bent on this being an O2 issue anyway...

iphones don't have this option built in.

Must be an app then.....?

[jonsie]

Yes but they don't have very good write ups unfortunately.

Not on my HTC either, only "Block all calls".

It's on my old Wildfire..... You have to set it in the Edit contact option.

That's odd, I'm using a Wildfire with Android 2.2 and I don't see that option.

I don't have the phone with me now but I'll check the firmware and location of call blocker later. I know it's there somewhere as I had to block some comedian who kept calling my phone at 2.00 in the mornings!!!
