How do I block a cell phone number through Verizon Wireless?

[Barack Obama]

I want to block a cell phone number of someone whom I do not want to receive phone calls from. Can I do this from my phone without calling the telephone company? If so, how?

1. Go into your Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless Account on-line. "My Verizon" (Please make sure you have an account all ready or you just created an account)

2. Then Go To "My Services"

3. Choose the SPAM Control: There you can add up to 5 phone numbers that you do not want to contact you. This also prevents these #s from text messaging you.
*Press APPLY then you are done. They block these #s for 3 months at a time. So you will have to repeat the steps in 3 months.
*To Unblock these #s, do the same exact steps as above, except just delete the number you want to unblock. Press "APPLY" and the number is unblocked.
