| 177616 | 2003-09-24 11:07:00 | Hey... I'm getting texts that i dont want to get and stuff like that... how can mobile numbers be blocked? is it even possible? If not...is it cheap to change mobile numbers? I only have 4 people that i "need/want" to text.....so changing it wont be a big hassle for me? I'm with telecom by the way... (I'm asking as i cant find any info on telecom.co.nz website) |

| 177620 | 2003-09-24 12:47:00 | I am sure such a thing as blocking numbers is possible at the network interface level However being possible and being available are 2 separate things. At a manual configuration level its likely possible, but the cost of implementing and changing the options would be too terrible to contemplate. Consider: You can't block numbers on your landline phone, so the liklihood of having the service available on a mobile will be low (or zero) If you had a Vodafone 021, its as simple as buying a prepay pack toget a new number. I am sure Telecom can change the number (they could easily on the old 025 network) but check what the costs are for the service. |

| 177623 | 2003-09-24 19:56:00 | Is it possable to get an unlisted number like you can for your home phone. | kirrie kiwi (279) | ||
| 177624 | 2003-09-24 21:24:00 | I hope it didn't sound like I was being sassy Bootylicious, I was only trying to let you know as Chris is quite a regular on this forum. I can't see how they would block out incoming numbers either, and changing numbers is easily done in their software. But as GF has said, it will cost. All unlisted means KK is that the number is not listed in the phone book that everyone gets. Interesting, in that you have to pay extra NOT to be in a book. :) |
