What is the difference between the "Number Not Available" service and the Anti-Harassment service?

The "Number Not Available" service is free and blocks all incoming calls without exception. The Anti-Harassment service is paid and lets you block only specific numbers while still receiving calls from everyone else.

Will the blocked person know they have been blocked?

No. The caller will only hear a recorded message saying the phone is unavailable or that the voicemail is full, depending on your settings. They have no way of knowing they have been specifically blocked.

How many numbers can be added to the blacklist?

You can add up to 200 numbers to the Anti-Harassment blacklist.

How do I quickly block the last person who called me?

Dial ‎70#‎ — this instantly blocks the last number that called you without having to manually enter the number. You must be subscribed to the Anti-Harassment service first.

Can both services be cancelled at any time?

Yes. To cancel the free "Number Not Available" service, dial ‎##21#‎. To cancel the Anti-Harassment service, dial ‎4531#‎. Both cancellations take effect immediately.
