Occasionally, when you own a cell phone, you will find the need to block certain phone numbers. Unfortunately, phone harassment and stalking exists, where a stranger or someone you know will incessantly call your number and prove to be a nuisance. When you find yourself in a situation where this is happening, you will no doubt want to block phone numbers. The easiest way to do this is to use Google Voice, which is compatible with a number of smartphones. When a call comes through from a number you want to block, you will have to be logged into your Google Voice account. From there, you would select the checkbox next to the call or voicemail, then select "more" beneath it and choose the "block caller" option. This will successfully block a phone number. In other cases, you might want to block your own phone number from showing on other people's Caller ID. This is much easier to do as it is an option under your settings. You should be able to select "Phone" and then set an option called "Show my Caller ID" to off.

How do you block phone numbers?

If you have a Blackberry, you can use a program called Efficient Call Blocker that BerryWAV had made recently. This program will block numbers that you specify and let you make the other party hear messages like your number is disconnected or no longer in service. Some standard phones can also do this, but it depends on the model and manufacture. You can try calling your carrier if you are having problems.
