So I keep getting calls from this number that just seems to call even though I told them they have the wrong number. Some McDonald's that thinks I manufacturer the ice machine. They called 6 times in 10 mins. So has anyone used this call blocked that is built in our phones. I want to know if it works. I don't want to even see an incoming call on my screen or a voice mail notification if they call. Is this possible? If anyone has used this feature before could you explain how it works and your personal experience with it.
Thanks

You can log in to your Verizon account online and block numbers. Only lasts 3 months though, then you have to redo it.

Better yet just add the number as a contact and then there is an option to block all calls from that number.

Did you accept the 30 day free trial?
Sprint automatically activated a free trial of voicemail to text for the first 30 days for all new GSIIIs. I think there was a screen explaining it on the first phone setup. After the trial period you automatically get enrolled in their service for $1.99 a month unless you change the setting on your phone.
Try opening your voicemail app-> click on settings capacitive button->click settings-> click Voicemail-to-Text-> click Unsubscribe Free Trial
I have attached a screenshot of mine. I still have 16 days left on the free trial.

Maybe its the trial as you said cuz I don't have the option to unsubscribe.

Had no idea that worked on a call by call basis...
What i was really looking for was the option that is normally found in the call settings, additional settings option... Seems to be missing on the dna?

Never noticed that option on other phones.

Should be able to call Verizon and give them the number and they can block it.

Download Mr Number from the market. It's free.
I like to call it 'ex-girlfriend control', as it is also effective at blocking text messages

Does Verizon have visual voicemail like sprint? If so how can i get it to work? I'm so sick of calling and putting in my password for every missed call.

Yes. But they have a monthly charge for it. Just use the Google Voice app and its free.

Google Voice for sure, you can also set it up so it is incorporated into your Phone or Dialer app. Plus email and/or text messages of the transcription it's great.

Having issues getting it setup. Now I have a notification saying two unheard messages but *86 no longer works and when I call the Google voice number it says no messages. Guess I'll hafta look for some sort of Google voice instructions or guide or something.

Has anyone else noticed or experienced unusually long call connect time? No matter what method I use to place a call (swipe, enter number directly, ect...) it takes 15-20 seconds before I can hear the phine start ringing. I'm on mj4 stock rooted with mj4 baseband. Any input is appreciated.

Bump. Anyone had this issue? Mine is continuous.

Do you use Google voice and merged your number? This issue happens to me when my Google voice and Sprint number is linked. It also happens for incoming calls too, where when I pick up on the first ring, the caller says they waited 6 rings or more. I temporarily unlinked my numbers, and got instant results
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
yes, I use Google. Thanks for the head up, I'll try unlinking
