I have a new G2. My old phone, a Samsung allowed me to block an incoming number; how do I do that on this new phone?
I hope you're enjoying your awesome new phone, Riverbelle. Making a change can always mean getting use to new features. But our free Call & Message Block http://vz.to/MqEgqB will allow you to block up to 5 numbers from calling or texting you for up to 90 days at a time, no matter which model phone you have with us. You also have the option of sending calls to voicemail from a particular contact on your G2. This doesn't actually block the call, just sends it right to your voicemail. Just go to Contacts, select the contact you want to send to voicemail, press Menu, and select "All calls to voicemail". Thank youJenniferH_VZW Please follow us on Twitter @vzwsupport
Thank you Jennifer, this really helped me.
I have the LG G2 with you guys and I would like to block a number from call or text. I clicked on the link you said but when I go to it, at the bottom it says this "Not available for this cell phone number". Why is it not allowing me to block up to 5 numbers free for 90 days? It doesn't even show where to put the numbers in, it just says it's not available for this cell phone number. I've been with Verizon for almost 10 years, this is very irritating.
Hello ktriley, That's an interesting situation. I'm sure that together we can get this resolved for you. May I ask are you accessing the link from a desktop or laptop computer? Also, what browser are you using? If the bitly link isn't working then try this one, www.vzw.com/spamcontrols. Let us know if this works for you.Thank you...ArnettH_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
Hello,
I tried that link as well and it still says that it's not available for my
cell phone number.

I use the free app called Blacklist and it works great for me. You can block phone calls and texts from the last number or text called or from your recent calls list. It really does work good for me. "Calls Blacklist - Call Blocker" is the app name by Vlad Lee give it a try!
thank you very much. I will look into it.
I don't think these answers are very helpful. I have the same problem as the OP. On my old Samsung Galaxy 3, I could block as many call numbers as I wanted with just one click. I don't see any way to do that on this new LG G2. That was the question. If this is not available on the LG, just say so, please. I'll be very disappointed if it's not.
I use or have used Call Control and Avast! Mobile Security. Seriously, like telemarketers have only 5 numbers.
I can understand your concerns, gil999. However, this is not an option on the LG device that you purchased. I apologize for the inconveience. ChaunceyM_VZWFollow us on twitter @VZWSupport
That's ok, I took a previous users advice and downloaded "Blacklist" which seems to work like my Samsung phone did.
That's crazy! Why can't you just do it from the phone? When I had the S4, I could do it from the phone. The only reason I came back to Verizon was for coverage area, other than that, I like how T-Mobile and AT&T don't lock their phones down.
