Dean,
That is exactly the slightly long winded approach I was referring to, it does
however mean that the phone still rings, just silently, so that

If you just don't want to be notified of a call but are happy for the other
person to hear it ring and know your number is still active then you can do
this with what is already built into the phone. When in contacts, move right
once to the groups tab. You can now add people to groups, change what ringtone
plays for a particular group and so on. First add the people you don't want to
be notified for to a group and go in profiles for I think most profiles there
is an option that says alert for all calls. Go in and just uncheck the group
you just made, making sure the others are checked assuming you want them all
checked.

Hi Matt,
I know what you mean, and I agree. But although I haven�t looked at that
software myself, it looks pretty sophisticated, in that you can even get it to
take the caller�s name, ring you and play it to you, and give you the option to
reject, pass it to voice mail or let you answer it.
But I agree it wouldn�t let you physically block the call. It looks pretty
advanced though. Again, I don�t know of its accessibility with Talks either.
All the best

Steve, Neil was right. You cannot bar someone from calling or texting or
sending multimedia messages. All you can do is add software to your phone that
recognises the in coming number and prevents your phone from alerting you.
Effectively it does the following things:
Automatically presses the red end button for you if the in coming caller is in
the black list. It also prevents your phone from letting you know audibly or
visually that a call is coming in from that number. The only way you can
sometimes tell is that your phone may give a tiny tiny vibrate because although
the software is quick, it does need a millisecond to do all these clever
things. It also automatically removes any evidence of that in coming call from
your call log.
Automatically deletes any in coming text or MMS messages and prevents your
phone from sounding a new message tone or displaying the fact you've had a new
message on your screen. In fact it doesn't even let the screen light up!
What it cannot do, is fool the caller/message sender in to thinking your number
no longer exists! If they call you, they'll go right through to voicemail
unless you have it disabled, because remember its just like you hearing your
phone ring and announce the caller and deciding you don't want to talk to them
right now. You just hit end and they'll be passed over to voicemail. That's
exactly what blocking software does, but it does it much quicker than you ever
could. Text and MMS messages are delivered to your phone, its just that your
phones blocking software deletes them literally as soon as they land in your
inbox! This means that if the sender has delivery reports enabled, they will
know the text arrived.
All blocking software does is allow you to have a hassle-free life. It does not
convince pesky callers that you've changed your number!
I hope that helps,
Matt

Well in fairness Steve, when I asked the question, I knew there was third party
software but I was not thinking in kthose terms. I must have a look though at
this.

Hi Neil,
Yes, you can block individual numbers, with a third party app. There are
probably more out there, but take a look at this:-

Eleanor,
you cannot... There is a sort of remedy but it's pretty long winded just to get
round it.
better to report the caller as nusense to your operator instead if you have the
number itself.
but you cannot physically stop one number from calling you on a mobile phone.

hi
How do I do this to one single telephone number? I have an N96 if the type of
phone is important.
