Just a wild thought.... search the Market for the numerous call blocking apps that are available.

In settings, call settings, there may be a way to blacklist numbers.

Re: help ASAP blocking phone calls/text

I don't know about the programs on the market, but what I can suggest is if you know the number that you want to block is to add them as a contact and then you have the option to block the caller or give them a custom ringtone, that's what I would do instead of installing another program, but like I said it requires you to know the number you want to block.

Re: help ASAP blocking phone calls/text

You can log onto your account on the sprint website and there is a way to block a number in there as well.

Re: help ASAP blocking phone calls/text

if you really need it blocked, i wouldnt rely on an app, though most work well most of the time..... go to the sprint site as stated above and block the number through sprint

Re: help ASAP blocking phone calls/text

If you can't get on the Sprint Website for whatever reason, Just text Sprint.

Text the word block to 6666 and the 10 digit #

i.e... Block 1234567890

Text unblock and the # to unblock it

Re: help ASAP blocking phone calls/text

What I've done to block calls is creat them as a contact and then send them directly to my Youmail voice mail that gives them a message that this number has been disconnected.
