"Blocked" call? - iPhone 3G

acosmichippo · 06-23-2008, 02:57 AM

when receiving a call, if in the name/number field it says "Blocked", is that someone that dialed *67 or something?

yes.
Personally, I don't answer those, and I even have a block on my phone so that I don't even get those calls anymore.

Usually those are my friends trying to be cute, but sometimes they can be the shady crack dealers, so yeah, I don't answer them.

I know a couple people who are "blocked". I think it's an option you can enable with your service provider.

I have one friend that does that and he is the only one that comes up blocked, so I always know its him. Solicitors and what not always come up 999-999-9999 on my phone.

blocked can be from an unlisted number as well.

I know u can do that with only land lines..request that no blocked numbers come through.
Cell phones dont have that feature unlist you're using a third party app....

I really dont like Blocked calls. Sometimes they come up as Unknown but when I answer it changes to Blocked. I have only one friend whose number is that, so 98% of the time its him, but the other 2% is either wrong numbers, or my friends playing jokes.

really? that's excellent! i will have to call them to ask for that for my cell line. my mom has her caller ID automatically blocked, so when i get a blocked call, i know it's most likely her, but i hate taking the chance and would rather see the caller ID for every call i get...
