How can I block specific telephone numbers on my iPhone 4?

How to block numbers on an iPhone?

• I've been receiving text messages from an unfamiliar number for a few weeks. They come rarely and are usually just advertisements, so I would always delete them and tell myself not to worry. However, I just received a text message of a photograph of a man with a beard. I've never seen him before and he looks about 55 and a little unkempt. I never give my phone number out so I'm worried. Is there any way for me to block this number?

• Answer:

  iPhones and other phones don't have the ability to block numbers or texts because it's just the phone with no control over the texting or calling. If you want to block that number you need to either call or visit the local store of your service provider Here are some common service providers: In America: AT&T (In America and Canada, I think...) Verizon In Australia: Telstra Optus Vodaphone 3 Virgin Mobile I hope you'll solve this problem quickly (how creepy...) Be safe :)
