I want to block (son's phone) from constantly calling 411.  Is that possible?

411 is a third party that provides the service. I still don't know why Verizon can't block it. I don't even know if other providers do. Does anyone know if its contract based or anything?

Oooh, yeah. That's a really good idea. Send a text message to GOOGL (46645) with the listing you want (pizza hut, hotel..etc) then your zip code and it will come back to you with those listings. It just counts as text messages.

 

Great idea!

Hi, If you have a BlackBerry -->

 

Try this to block.

 

 

Go into phone options by (clicking the green phone button and then hit the menu key and go to options) -> Select General Options -> Change the Restrict My Identity to Never. From the testing I had done, it seems to block 411 and 611. I think its because they need to identify the caller and because this calls will be coming out of private/unknown caller, 411/611 services will not be able to complete.

 

Can someone confirm?
