Most of the wireless phone companies including Verizon and AT&T offer online accounts now where users can change their phone settings on their own. Even billing and accounting details are all available online. To block a phone number, you will need an Internet connection that provides you access to the Verizon Wireless website.
Once there, you must log in into your own Verizon account. In case you don't have one, create one. After the registration is complete, log in to see your current settings. To block a phone number from calling or texting you, go to 'My Verizon → My Services → Verizon Safeguards → Spam Controls'. To block numbers go to 'Call & Message Blocking'. There you can enter up to 5 numbers which will be blocked for 90 days by default. Enter the numbers correctly with area codes and save settings. None of those numbers will be able to connect a call with your number or send you a text message for 90 days, after which the block is removed. To continue blocking, you must enter the numbers again later. If you activate 'Usage Controls' by paying $4.99 per month, you can block up to 20 numbers permanently.
How to Block Caller ID While Using a Verizon Phone?
Verizon also offers the facility of caller ID blocking. You can prevent your phone number from appearing as caller ID on the phone number you call. You may either choose to temporarily block your caller ID for specific numbers while calling or choose to permanently block your caller ID.
To temporarily block your caller ID, press *67, then dial the number and press SEND. The receiver who takes the call will see 'Anonymous' or private being displayed on his phone. If you wish to permanently block your caller ID for all calls made to a number, press *82, followed by the number and press SEND.
If you wish to permanently block your caller ID from appearing on all phones, which you call, log in to 'My Verizon' and go to 'My Plan→Add/change features'. Tick the check box which says 'Caller ID Blocking' and save settings to apply the setting. After you make this change, you number will not appear in any caller ID phone.
