    Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

    Here's one way to get around the problem. It's kludgy but it should work.

    Get a VOIP based phone service or a magic jack. For 24/7 access, you're better off with VOIP that uses an ethernet adapter, but that's up to the user.

    The important point is to find one that lets you create your own "black list" of callers. Usually they will have both black and white list options and these are usually a subcategory under the "do not disturb" or similar feature.

    The provider will usually let you create a second number for $5-10 per month. You'll use this for your cell phone number. If it is ever compromised, you can change it easily without affecting the base number.

    Forward the second number to your cell phone and give everyone that one as your "cell phone" number. There will be a delay of a few seconds as calls get routed, but who cares. It's not like any of us is on Obama's speed dial right?

    Now when you get assholes calling you, just add them to the black list.

    You can also block calls w/o caller id this way if your cell phone co. doesn't already do that for you.

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    Increase number of rings before answer phone

    Lumia 635

    1. Click on Phone icon

    2. Click on Dialpad

    3. Enter *#67#

    4. Click Call

    5. Make a note of the phone number that comes up (it should say something like, "Forward busy calls is enabled to" ... and then phone number ... "for voice"

    • For example: phone number = 19084006990
    6. Click Close

    7. Click on Dialpad

    8. Enter **61*19084006990**30#

    • The digits 19084006990 are the ones noted in step 5 above
    • The last two digits are for the length of time in seconds
      • Step 8 is using 30, so this entry will tell the system to make the length of time 30 seconds

      Thanks to Virgin Media for the above steps - provided here
