You can now block unwanted voice calls as well as text messages. You have to go to Sprint's web site and list the numbers you want blocked there.

Been using that feature for quite some time now. I thought everyone knew about it because I'm usually the last to know anything around here. heh.
I've been using that service for about six months now, to block all the dirtbags sending dirty messages to my teenage daughter. Blocked about forty numbers from voice and text already.

I've been using Call Blocker Gold, didn't know Sprint had that option. Is there an option to block all private/unknown numbers as well?

FYI: there are ways around blocking by phone number to get in touch with another mobile device. Off top my head:
Use Skype
Use Gmail to text or call
Possibly Google Voice?
Instant Messaging (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, etc)

on sprints website you need to know the number. You can't block unless you have it. If the app your using blocks unknown callers I would stick with that.

Why does all my threads turn into trash? Do I attract them or is the Epic forum really turned to sh&t?

Wow. I guess someone failed to mention that this site is not /b/ or 4chan or whatever these types frequent these days.
I have an 18 year old and I know that a girl does not need to be a "whore" simply because boys want to talk to her. She doesn't want to talk to them, but that doesn't stop those kids from trying. Still waiting until she chooses one of them so I can set up the ring in the garage and put him through the test.
Edit: I specifically did not quote the offending post because I don't want that kind of childishness and hate on my posts. BrooklynsFinest is not the offender and I echo his comment.

You have it but you have to log in to Sprint and go to the bottom of the screen and go to Change preferences, then scroll down to block voice. You have to add numbers you want to block there.

Yep, went through Sprint's crappy site and found it. Bet next to no one uses it because it's buried so deep in there and is presented in such a user-unfriendly way.
Mostly what I do is give out my Google voice # and use it to block. Neat and easy.

I don't get why there are all these threads about getting voice calls to work when this method already works
So I installed the apk skype file from this website and install through the my files file manager already installed on the tab!!!

It's so amazing what you developers do with even getting paid! Thanks so much.
Next there will be a way to get incoming calls through landlines.

Obvious troll is obvious.

PS. In the rare case you aren't trolling, skype isn't the same as phone service. You should know this already if you spend any time on this site.
The deal was to use the phone on the cellular network rather than the internet.
The program requires you to give your number to add people. But I figure we can make a list of people(DON'T POST YOUR NUMBER lol) who are willing to share numbers through private means haha. So just post if anything and I'll update the list as often as I can.
Those willing to share so far:

lol You already have circles(Whatever googles does for google+) and Facebook Chat/Messenger.
I just want a messaging program that doesn't destroy battery life.
This program has the potential to be widely adopted but iPhone users will go straight to iMessage, BBers will stick to BBM and anyone who is chatting cross platform prior to this will stick to WhatsApp or the other variations. Not to mention that Samsung could make the switch really quick and easy if they make it so you can scan your address book to add buddies or add them via username/PIN. If they release to iPhone and BB quickly as they plan to it has a chance. But really, can ChatOn do anything that I can't already do with Go SMS Pro?

It's always been this way, using data from your usage of their apps to provide more relevant ads and search results.
They've just unified their privacy policies into one, that's all it is. Which makes sense really, since they've been using data between products, they SHOULD all fall under one privacy policy.

The google services are the only ones affected. Texts through google voice might skew your analytics, but texting through Sprint wouldn't, I believe. It'd be tied into things like what you look at and +1 through Google+, or seach through Google, etc.

I'm not sure to what extent, if any, Google uses email context as data, but that's an unlikely scenario. Google search and ad analytics work a little more subtly than such a literal association, even more so when dealing with personal exchanges. A more likely Gmail example is being on the mailing list for several punk bands and seeing an ad for Alternative Press...or possibly a local venue. But as i said, i don't know much Gmail data is used, if any Gmail data is used at all.
