Keep getting calls from 800-454-2227
« on: April 30, 2009, 05:59:48 PM »
I have only a cell phone and have never had a problem with spam callers, but I keep getting calls several times per day at all hours from this number. They never leave a message and they never answer when I pick up. I googled the number and came up with a few findings about this number from last year. I wish there was some way to block them; do you know of any way to block a specific number? My old phone had an option to customize ring tones to different numbers, but I can't figure out a way to do that with this phone. Otherwise I would just add them as a contact and set their ringtone to "silent".

There might be a menu option for blocking calls in your phone.  If not call your carrier.  They can probably set up the block for you.

It depends on the cell carrier.  Sprint can't block numbers.  AT&T can.

Read some more of that site.  The latest post is quite recent.

Wrong fax number?

You can't block it. But What you can do is save it as a contact in you phone, name it DNA (no not answer) then set a ringtone for that call and set it for silent.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

That's a pretty decent idea, I set it so that their ringtone was silent. They just called me in the middle of a call and of course it beeped as if a call was waiting, but whatever.

Wrong fax number?
Last year I kept getting calls that just made a lot of noises when I answered. So I did some google-fu, and discovered that the number belongs to a fax machine in northern Sweden. It quit when I changed phone # (for another reason than this low-level harassment though).
