How to Block a Phone Number

Whether you are avoiding a telemarketer or an ex you can block a phone number with these steps.

Step 1: Register your phone number
Register your landline and cell phone number online with the National Do Not Call Registry.

Tip
Telemarketing calls will stop approximately 31 days after registering.

Step 2: Sign up
Sign up for a call-blocking service that meets your needs through your landline service provider. Call your provider for more information on their available call blocking services.

Step 3: Block cell phone calls
Blocking unwanted calls from your cell phone depends on the particular phone and service you use. Check your owner's manual for filtering options.

Step 4: Review state laws
Research your state's laws. Help may be offered for cell phone users depending on your states phone harassment or cyber stalking laws.

Step 5: Get caller ID
Get caller ID to know who is calling. You can choose to either answer or ignore the call.

Step 6: Block your number
Block your own phone number from being seen by the receiver by dialing star-67 before dialing the number.

Did You Know?
Telemarketers who call a consumer registered on the National Do Not Call Registry can be fined up to $11,000 per incident.

All Cell phones should come with an option on your phones setting to not only not display your caller id but also come with the option if you want your number to be able to be traced even though you blocked your number so that way you dont have to worry about getting in trouble with the cops cause somone traced your number even if u did press *67 like this if u think it would be a great idea
