EditTips

  • Method 1 is recommended when you don't want to use any software and methods 2 & 3 are recommended when you want an extra easy blocking with stats being shown to you. Method 4 is applicable only for business class who use a Blackberry server in their domain.
  • Method 5 is the easiest as it provides an easy switch option without downloading any software.
  • There are many more third party software which can block a number on your Blackberry but it's always good to stick with internal methods rather than third party software to avoid any security or information leak.

EditWarnings

  • In the firewall method, do not forget to put r and a semicolon to the numbers otherwise they won't be blocked.
  • Don't forget to reactivate your incoming calls while using the method-5 as you are at a risk of missing important calls.
  • The software methods might not work in some versions of Blackberry.
