Blocking Cirtain Callers

(Bare with me this is a Mobile Phone Thread!!)

I'm currently selling my beloved CR-V on AutoTrader and the Swindon Advertiser and even though I've added "No Canvessers" I keep getting Calls from Various 'Rip Me off' Car Matching companies, all starting with (02089) and (01992) I keep telling these people nicely to Eff-Off but they keep phoning me!!!...

Rite to the Moblie bit!!...

I've got a W800i and I want to stop these people from phoning me!!... Is there a way to Block targeted Phone numbers from ringing me!!!... Namely anything starting with the two above codes!!... as any normal person won't have one of those as a dial code!!...

I've looked in the menus but got lost!... All I want to do is 'Block' any incomming calls from (02089) and (01992) the same way I can block Spam emails with the word 'Viagra' on my home Computer!..

Cheers
Sim

From a network point of view, no we can't block specific callers. You maybe able to set the handset up to divert all unwanted calls to voicemail etc but this would depend on the handset.

On a W800i, there's no way to block specific numbers or number ranges. The only phones that you can really do that on are the smartphones (Symbian or Windows mobile) and even then only with third party software in most cases.

ask them politely to remove you from their list, and tell them you'll be onto the TPS if they keep phoning you, should stop them pretty quickly, or just tell them the car is gone

Tell them you are interested but can't talk right now and you'll call them back later.

As a network, we can't block certain numbers. It's either all incoming calls or none!
