Block Phone Numbers on Windows Phone 8.1
To block a number go to System > Settings and scroll down and tap Call+SMS filter. Then agree to the service terms and privacy policy.
Once you have it turned on, instead of annoyingly typing in numbers, just go to your recent call history. Long tap the number you want to block and then select “Block Number from the pop up menu.
It also allows you to create a Live Tile and notify you when a person you blocked tires to call or message you.
Once you have this set up – no more calls and drunk texts from your ex or annoying calls from someone trying to get money from you. Are you an Windows Phone user? What is your take on the new mobile 8.1 update? Leave a comment below and let us know! You are absolutely correct on the fact that the caller can still leave voice-mail. So if you ask me, the call is NOT BLOCKED… Is there an app out there that can do what Microsoft cannot do? Does anyone can help me? Thanks, Mihai Ch Another Amazing Microsoft Product!, didn’t anyone suggest the call blocking feature during the “NO”-Brain-storming Session. When this product (OS) was conceived? I understand this device is actually running JAVA!. At one time kiddies, Microsoft NT installer agreement had a disclaimer: Not responsible for JAVA killing you… in it’s terms. This is when MS was competing with JAVA by Sun, for total word domination. Comment Name * Email *
