Is there any way with T-Mobile service to selectively block phone numbers? A friend of mine is trying to find a way to avoid picking up calls from an ex that keeps calling, so I'm trying to help her find the best method.

Deleting the phonebook entry or setting the ring tone to "NO RING" seemed like the simple answer (and I have suggested it), but she would like to find a way to simply have the call not appear on the phone at all. Is this possible?

Thanks.

I think the only thing to really do, to change your phone number? I'm sure they'll do it for free throught customer care, they usually do if you explain why.

Well I know that when I was with T-Mobile they said that there is no way to do it that I have to use the ignore button alot. Right now with my phone on Verizon I can block individual numbers it will be sent right to my voice mail. Like I said it is through my phone not provider.

I had suggested this to my friend, but it's not worth it to her to change the number (which she has had for years) over this one person. She was just hoping that there was an easy way to redirect the calls via the phone or the service provider, but so far it's not looking very promising.

Yeah unless she just keeps hitting that ignore button.

Agreed, there's NO way. Even assigning a Silent Ring from
that Caller will NOT work if HE presses *67 then Dials your
Number. It will show UNAVAILABLE on your Phone.
Now you don't Know Who's calling.
Unfortunately Blocking Unknown Caller in Cell Phones
is Not there yet.

How about making a recording on the voicemail that sounds like the machine that says that the number is no longer in service?
