Blocking - Blocked Callers
Is it possible to BLOCK, 'Blocked' numbers? If so how does one go about this business?

The meaning of the term jailbreaking can be found here. However, as Caretaker has mentioned in message 8 of this thread, although AT&T doesn't have an issue with the term "jailbreaking", this forum does not allow open discussion of this topic. 😉

have a 3GS and can't find the shown screen to block a caller... where is it, or how do I do this on the iPhone 3Gs?

Go back and re-read all the messages as it's explained. That is not a feature of the iPhone. The person jailbroke the iPhone to add that feature.

This is truly sad. An At&T rep doesn't give an official factual answer here on this topic that is clearly a concern of many. One item gets listed as a "solution" but since it requires jailbreaking I don't consider that a solution. And don't tell me the technology doesn't exist...it's been available on landlines for 20 years and AT&T offers Smart Limits on family plans. No, for some reason that AT&T is not admitiing, someone at AT&T has actually chosen to deny us this feature. Let me guess...nobody gets any revenue if a call is blocked, but AT&T gets line useage revenue even if you don't answer. We have to put up with annoyances as we pay $100plus/month so that they can earn a penny or two more per line per month. Maybe I'll see what Verizon offers.

How exactly is it an AT&T problem that the functionality does NOT exist on the iPhone or in iOS?
AT&T offers solutions to customers to block numbers, yes it cost money, but that is what happens in a free market.
Maybe you should see what Verizon offers... I seriously doubt they block calls for free. Oh, and do not even think that the iPhone on Verizon will offer this "missing" feature, as it's not an AT&T restriction, it is Apple.
Geesh... why get all bent out of shape over a minor, unimportant issue.
Just ignore the friggin' call if you do not want to answer it.

The fact of the matter is: AT&T sells the technology that gets used to harass us with solicitation calls. AT&T will also sell you a service to block calls.
They make the $$$ on both ends.
AT&T can very easily provide a blacklist capability for free, but they want the revenue.
Please, no more name calling or free market lectures.
