For months I've been inundated with calls and texts from various health insurance providers wanting my business. I have no idea how I got onto all these lists but it drives me crazy. They never give up. At some point I began blocking and deleting these numbers, but it does not stop. So this article caught my eye this morning. "How to Block a phone number on your iphone."
Go the the recents tab on the iphone and then tap the 'i" on the right for each number. This should give you the option to "block this caller". Do the same for irritating texts from the same groups.
Well nuts. This is the same technique I've been using all along and the problem is this does not block the number from calling again and again. All it does on the iPhone is silence the call so I don't hear it coming in. I want a way to actually not let their calls come through.
I know this is not an uncommon issue for others because we were at some event recently where a few people were also exasperated by this. It seems these health insurers have an open door to be total pests.
