Everyone tends to get nuisance VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls on their phones which tends to waste our time and annoy us. It may be a useless call for sale promotions, or it might be a call from a person that you might want to avoid at all costs, it may be some wrong number who never seems to get the hint or it might be a call from someone who keeps harassing you. However, you have an option to block these annoying and nuisance calls. Just follow the simple tips given below to block incoming VoIP calls.

  1. Locate the number: In order to block a contact, you must locate it in your call log. You will find it in your “received calls” or most probably in your “missed calls” since you have been avoiding them.
  2. Select the number: After you find the contact in your call log, you must select it. Make sure, that you do not accidently call them.
  3. Save the Contact in your phone: The next thing you must do is, save the number into your phone’s directory or your contact list. You can do this by selecting the number and pressing it until a pop up comes. That pop up will contain a list of commands. You have to find the command that says, “Add to Contacts”. Once, you find it, you must click it. By clicking that command, you will be directed to a contact form. The number will be already written in the form. All you have to do is add a random name to that contact and save it. Then simply exit out of the contact list by clicking your home button.

The next step requires your own discretion, as to what means you want to use to block calls from that number. The following are a few useful VoIP call blocking features that you can choose from:

  • Call blocking devices or gadget: You can block incoming VoIP calls through various call blocking devices or gadgets. You can purchase this hardware to block incoming VoIP calls.
