Maybe you have accidentally blacklisted him?

You put him to blacklist. Check security settings-> blacklist.

Treo shows incomming call on a certain contact only with forename

hi,
i have the strange situation, that my 750v shows an incomming call from (e.g.) "thomas muster" only as "thomas".
how comes?
sms are received with the full name. in the calling log there is the full name. only in the incomming call message and the call menu it is "thomas".
dont know how that comes.
I´m sure that the number is also stored on your simcard with the first name only... Delete it!
no, it isnt

i bet they are stored as a speed dial... and the speed dial display is just the forename and not the nachname too. Go to Speed Dial options and edit their label to include whatever you want...
that seems to be exactly what caused the problem. the contact was set in speed dialing.
thank you very much!

[Request] Block Call application

Hi !
I am looking for an application wich can block call instantly, without one ore two rings before droping call or redirecting to voice mail. I tried a few applications from market like SPC, aFirewall etc. and i am very disappointed. Every one of them droping call after one or two rings, so caller will realize that i have an firewall installed.
Thank you !
In order for your phone to block a call, it must know there is a call to block... It has to ring on the other end, or there would be nothing to block.
Gblocker is as good as it gets
I had iBlacklist on iPhone, call filter on nokia and those apps dropped the call instantly. The phones did not ring at all.
So, there must be another explanation...

If the call if rejected by your phone the caller can always know this is happening... however your carrier should be able to blacklist numbers for you in the event of mischief and in this case the caller will actually hear a "no such number" tone and the call will never be handed to your phone to deal with.
I'm not sure if your Nokia or iPhone solution actually managed a local or a network blacklist. If it was a local blacklist then for sure the caller knows they've been hung up on (even if it doesn't ring at your end)!
aFirewall the best for me

If you go to a contact, and then to go options, there is an option to send that call directly to voicemail. Phone doesn't even ring.
aFirewall is eating my batery very fast. And it does ring one or two times before droping the call (even more when it came back from sleep/stand by).
Refer to iBlacklist, i can tell you that it is blocking the call somehow before ringing - i tried to call from another phone and it divert the call to voice mail instantly, with no ring - sounds like network busy tone.
The same for Nokia.
Anway, thanks for your suggestions !
The best solution is the modified Phone.apk from Cytown. You can block the call
in the same way carrier does. Your phone never make any sound, or turn on the screen...
Nothing happens, like the call never exist.

Yes this works. it is already built into the phone. I have a few numbers set up this way already. Why are you guys using apps for this?
Because i don't want to add to contacts every not wanted numbers. And i need that application to manage scheduled profiles (again, like iblacklist - no, i don't want an iphone just for this app), so i can manage when and for whom i am availlable.

[Q] Why does a disconnected phone still make outgoing calls?

I have a Verizon Blackberry that has been sitting in a drawer for 4 years. It was given to me when I was helping someone out with their computer. I am not sure where the phone comes from originally. It was wiped when I received it. The other day, I gave it to my little sister so she could play with it, and she immediately tried calling my phone. The call went through. I haven't ever activated this phone, but it can make outgoing phone calls. All outgoing calls show up as restricted. It can't receive or send text messages. When I try to call the number that the phone says it has, I get a generic voicemail and the phone does not ring. Noone ever answers the number, or calls me back if I leave a message. On outgoing calls the 1 and the area code have to be dialed, otherwise I get an error message saying that this phone is not active at this time. Does anyone have any idea what this phone is or why it still makes outgoing calls?
Bump... any ideas?

missed calls not showing up

My dad is telling me about a problem when he misses a call, people leave a vm but there is no record of a missed call.
I tested this. I called him, he didn't answer, I left a message and hung up, the call did not show up as a missed call. my caller id is not blocked.
I tried calling him a different time and this time pushed decline on the call and left a vm, it recorded that and showed caller id.
Any ideas?

Did the first call test never show up in notification? was there a voicemail notification at least?
Is this stock or rooted/custom rom? What software version?
It's a stock rom
4.1.1 with Sense 4+, it doesn't say there are any software updates.

Question unblocked number keeps getting blocked

I accidently blocked a friends number a couple weeks ago. I unblocked it but my phone (Note 22 Ultra unlocked on T-mo) keeps blocking the call, we can text but not call. I went into the settings and turned off Caller ID and spam but it lets too many other calls in. I switched it to "only block high-risk scam calls" and now I can receive calls from my friend but still get some spam calls. I want to put it back on "block all spam and calls" but anyone have an idea how to make sure my friend who's number is stored and saved in my phone can call me?
Try to restart phone then clear phone app cache followed by app data if still blocking.

Its definitely something with the dialer. I installed googles phone app and no problem.
Who is your carrier? When you block a number, it gets reported to your carrier. Log into your account with your carrier and look for anything that references call filtering or number blocking. You should be able to unblock the number.
If you are using a third-party call filtering/blocking app, check it.
