I know this can be done on the cingular 8125 ( a friend showed me), but I want to block several numbers from being able to call my 6700.

is there a way to block a number from calling you? or is there a mod to do it.

u can try calling sprint to block those numbers for you, and if they can't do it, your only other choice is to use third party apps like smartfilter, photocontacts pro, sms-call blocker, magicall, etc.

There's a flaw with Sprint's system, however, so when you do block any numbers regardless the app your using the caller will still hear a ring before they're sent off to voicemail or your phone hangs up on them.

Would that be a flaw in Sprint's system though? I would think that would be normal that the caller hears a ring and then gets your VM or disconnected since software on the phone is handling it and not the network.

hmmm...good point, but from what've read here >> http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=930810 << it appears such apps work differently and more effectively for GSM users

Edit: nevermind that...it's actually normal for callers to hear that ring or two..but for sprint they might hear 3-5 if the user hasn't already fixed the delayed ringer

Yeah, GSM does have some better network features.

Here's what I did. I saved the numbers that I wanted to block as a contact. Then I used the phone to record a voice note about 2 seconds long of complete silence. Then I assigned the silent ringtone to the contact. It doesn't block them, but it makes them a lot easier to ignore. And the big plus, no additional software.
