Prevent Unwanted Cell Phone Calls
There are four things you can do to prevent unwanted calls from ever happening. By taking these preventative measures, you may never have to take the next step of blocking calls.

1. Avoid giving your cell phone number to businesses unless they need to call you for repairs or service. Many companies sell your information to other businesses.
2. Place your cell phone number on the "Do Not Call" list at donotcall.gov. This will help reduce calls from telemarketers and survey companies.
3. Your cell phone service provider may be able to help with excessive spam. They can stop text messaging by adding the company to a "block list" and even reverse any charges. Contact your cell phone provider.
4. Many smart phones contain special features to block cell phone calls. Find out what they are and use them.

Use a Dialing Code
If you have your service with Time Warner or Vonage, they provide a dialing code that you can dial from your cell phone to block calls. You can dial "77" and wait to hear the confirmation that all unknown and anonymous calls are blocked. Code "87" turns this call blocking service off.

If you have a different provider and these codes don't work on your phone, contact your cell phone service provider to determine if they offer a similar code system to block incoming calls.

go to the company store that sells your phone and ask to block the number but if the person is on your plan you can not block that number.
