Are there any programs that block phone numbers for an ATT iphone? I used to use Mcleaner when I was jailbroken, but I don't jailbreak my phone any more and was hoping for a non-jailbroken program that blocks calls.
Got a tip for us?

I don't think there's an app to do this on the official App Store, but AT&T seems to offer it as a service.

If you mean you want to block your number from appearing on other peoples CID, just go to settings>phone>show my caller ID.

Thanks guys I'll look into the ATT service. I used to be JB and know all about the JB programs, but I really have no desire to JB my iphone anymore.

It costs money to block a phone number from your service provider. It's like $5 a month. It's a waste in my opinion.
If you use Google Voice as your number that you give out, you can block numbers from getting through. And you can also have private/unknown callers say their name before coming through. I think GV allows number porting now. Maybe you could port your existing number to GV and get a new unlisted # for your phone. Not sure how complicated it would be to set this up.

To block a number, you just put it on your "spam" list. Future calls from that number get a "this number is out of service"

I think he wants to block numbers from calling his phone.
Not his caller id to show or not when he calls people.
