If you want I believe you can go to your sprint account online and blacklist the number.

Is that black listing free?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Its free you can do online in your account setting permissions or you can call sprint to block it

Or install Mr. Number Call Block on your phone. I use it to send incoming 800/888/866/865 numbers and their built-in "suspected spam" list straight to voicemail. You can, of course, add your own numbers to block or exclude, and you can choose whether to send blocked calls straight to voicemail or simply block.

You can also add the number as a contact and then force the calls to go straight to VM. Click on the contact>edit>Send calls directly to voicemail.

Sorry somebody called and I posted the thread before I was done. I was saying I have a coworker who claims his friend at the Sprint store put a code into his phone that makes the server think its a store demo and gives him free Sprint Hotspot. I think he is full of **** and want to call him out but was just curiois if anybody has heard of such crap..

He's full of it, however there are free wireless tethering apps in the market.

Doesn't sprint just track the display models by their device id (the number under the battery, can't remember what its called). To me that seems how they would "write" that off, so if device is stolen they can track its use or shut it down. This is just me guessing please correct me if I am wrong.

Sprint doesn't even have tethering enabled on displays.

Do not become intimate with this coworker.

That I know I meant the data/voice part. Sry I could have worded question differently.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

As far as voice/data, Sprint does keep track of the ESN #s of their display phones, if they see anything crazy (people dialing long distance and then leaving calls running, prank calling etc.) they will terminate the call.

[info] wifi calling with $30 300 minute/unlimted text/5gb web

To do this offer, i had to get a special sim kit to activate. Im wondering if anyone can confirm that the plan will still work with the new wifi sim. Does anyone have this plan and wifi calling?

300 mins, you wish

With free wifi calling that is definitely doable. I mostly text, unless its work related. I have wifi everywhere I go basically. So this seems pretty awesome.

Where is this plan? I have the 100 for 30 bucks

Is that 5gb of data at 4G? This is a great plan for $30. Where did you get it?

can you explain?
I've wanted to try this plan but I've heard theres a lot of BS that comes with it. like one person being charged $90 to cancel the plan because its not an actual monthly/prepaid plan.
also i dont know anybody with tmobile service in my area. so im unsure as far as reception goes in certain locations.

No such plan. The only $30 plan is 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb data.
Monthly4G plans don't have "free" Wi-Fi calling. Sure, you can use the feature but you'll still be dipping into those minutes.
I would know about this because I've been using this plan for a little over two months now.

Exactly. Widow calling is for clarity, it still gets deducted from your monthly pool of minutes.

On the web Google voice call forwarding isn't set properly. I think that's my problem. From phone setting I have my Google voice then Registered phone I have my gmail address.. Then have Phone which displays my real phone number.

Have you tried plan b from the play store. If it still has data connection, or when it does get it (such as wifi), that is probably your best bet.

i tried remotely installing android lost but cannot register as the device is turned off. it was almost dead before it was stolen so i figure thats what it is. i am with at&t is there any way to go through them to make the phone as least usable as possible? i have very important information and im sure theres other important things on there i dont even know about that could be a security threat. what do i do

I saw another post somewhere saying Google refused to block there imei but still worth a shot,
Also @op I'd blocking by Google, or carrier are your only options. I think Google could probably wipe the phone ota for you if they wanted to, worth a shot

Skip wasting time with Google, they will do nothing, it has nothing to do with them. Call your carrier, they will suspend your account, which isn't a whole lot, and will most likely only block IMEI number with a police report, at least that's T-Mobile policy.

Just switched from Sprint to Verizon - Voicemail question

My friend just switched from Sprint to Verizon. On Sprint we have our own voicemail app and the voicemails download right to the phone at no extra cost. Do you really have to pay $4 a month on Verizon for this capability or is there a way to activate on device voicemail without paying the extra fee?
Thanks for any advice you can offer,
Jack

You have to pay $4/month for VISUAL voicemail, yes But like others states, use google voice if you're not comfortable with that. Exact same features, cross compatibility. Just make sure to follow the call-forwarding instructions for google voice..... I don't know how many people can't figure out how to get it to work because they think installing the app and following the instructions makes it work...

I agree with using google voice. The translations are quite comical. They are no way perfect but you get the idea of what was said. You can listen from any computer and if you add the extension on chrome you get notifications on the browser.
In regards to prev. post, ignore the warning about the carrier in the setup dialog. It just means that you have to dial the *7... that google gives you when you setup the voicemail account.
One warning you do have to have data/internet connection to get voicemail since it retrieves it over voip and not 1g voice/calling. Which isn't a big deal unless you are deep in the woods or roaming on unfriendly territory like Thumb Cellular in Michigan.
