Blocking numbers

This does not apply to just Motorola Droid X but I have a question about blocking unwanted incoming calls.

I seem to be getting a lot of calls from the area code 503. Is there a way to block all calls with 503 from coming thru? There is nobody in that area code that should be calling me.

The numbers are:

503-468-5214

503-902-8287

503-457-1274

503-457-1040

503-902-8279

I suspect there are many Verizon clients getting spammed by somebody using these numbers. I googled the numbers on line and whoever is doing this is targeting a ton of people, not necessarily Verizon clients.

Something should be able to be done. I am on the no call list.

Any suggestions? I would like to just ban all 503 incoming calls.

Call Customer Service would probably be your best Bet if they can't put a Block on it Ask to change your Cell No. that is if you are getting Frequent Calls from them...b33 :smileyhappy:

You should be able to go into your account to Call & Message Blocking. You can block up to (5) numbers for free, any more than that, you'll have to join VZ's Data Control for $4.99/mo (yes, another fee VZ seems to find to tack on). You cannot block any numbers you may have a shared plan. Hope this helps. :smileyhappy:

Thank you for your advice. I've blocked those particular numbers that I listed. I'm on the no call list so I think I'll report them. I will contact Verizon as well. The link was helpful.

Up until about a month ago I had the very same problem with the very same numbers and others calling my cell.

I installed Call Control-Call Blocker, you can block area codes, area codes and prefix, etc., etc. I have not had a problem since, works great, worth the money for me. Calls were driving me crazy!

I installed the paid version of this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flexaspect.android.everycallcontrol#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDUwMSwiY29tLmZsZXhhc3BlY3QuYW5kcm9pZC5ldmVyeWNhbGxjb250cm9sIl0.
