How to block spam phone numbers on a basic phone?

[slishnevsky]

Hello.

I am using a basic feature flip-phone phone.

And I receive spam calls and spam text messages.

Is there aby way to block spam phone numbers on a basic phone?

I dont have such option on the phone itself unfortunately.

Thanks.

Thank you for the link. It's an old flip-phone Doro 612 from 2012. I can only see a phone call/message number. Unfortunately, I dont think I have such feature on my phone. The link you provided doesnt however explain what exactly I can do.

  Oh wow! I'm surprised you are still able to use that phone. As far as I am aware, that phone is a 2G-only (GSM) device. I believe the GSM network was to be decommisioned at the end of 2021 (see here). I guess GSM 850 is still listed as a compatible frequency, though (see here).

  Any such number blocking would have to be done on the phone. Unfortunately, the manual for that phone does not list any option to block phone numbers (see here).

Hope this helps 😀

Cheers
