Now, though, your number goes all over the place — and as a result, you may have noticed that you're receiving a lot more unwanted calls than you used to. If there's one particularly annoying number that keeps calling you, all you need to do is to block the number. Blocked calls on an Android will go straight to voicemail, and texts won't be delivered. And if you later realize that you actually need to hear from that number, you can unblock them just as easily.
With so many different phones out today, there are several ways to block a number on Android. Here's one of the most common ways. Tap the three dot icon in the upper-right corner to open the menu. Enter the phone number you want to block, then tap "Block" to complete the action. If you block a number by mistake, or your circumstances change and you no longer need to block the person from calling or texting you, unblocking is even easier than blocking.

I have a iphone 6s plus that is blocked from t-mobile. Is there anyway i can unlock it? Gpp way? I need an answer please someone help me. What do i need to do im not good at this no clue. They have blocked the device, because the account holder whose name it was under went bankrupt.

Or do I choose another straight talk carrier? Will another carrier work with the ATT device? Like you can use a t-mobile or metro pcs phone on att or cricket wireless , att prepaid , straight talks att sim and other GSM networks within the usa after being unlocked if they are blocked or have a bad finance on the original carriers network.
T-mobile is making it harder to do that these days as now they have an unlock app on the android phones. You can still find companies that will unlock them but it cost more to unlock them and you just run the app and it will let you unlock them. I read on another site you can change the IMEI but not sure if that will work.

I know what I am talking about and guess what my name is. Jason Miller. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet through a reputable seller on ebay. I put in my t-mobile sim card. The device worked on mobile data for a day, then stopped working. I spoke with a rep from t-mobile — she advised that the IMEI was block because the original owner has an outstanding balance on the device.
They would not tell me what the balance was, nor would they even allow me to pay off the balance. Is there any way to unblock the IMEI? I have an iPhone 6s plus blocked by T-Mobile over a dispute. Rose gold brand new. Can I unblock it for other carriers. Hi Jayson, how do you unblock a blacklisted phone.

Bought from who? The drug dealer down at the park. Quit buying stolen property.. Do you know what people have to go through to replace a stolen phone? By buying the stolen property you keep the cycle going. Have you looked up the charges for receiving stolen property? You better. Integrity people!!!!!!! Great, so the a hole who stole my new phone at Christmas time and caused me a lot of hardship replacing that phone can make that phone work and use it?
I mean if a phones reported stolen and blocked it should never be able to be used. I wish the phone would blow up in their hands. I really hate criminals so much. I pay full retail while they just steal it and none of the blocks to use it again work really for me and I lose while they gain always. Does anyone ever go to jail for stealing and selling to unsuspecting buyers another persons property? Also a iphone c5. They are all locked because of an ongoing dispute with t mobile.
