Expert: - 11/5/2010


Question
I have a pantech breeze II through AT&T.  I would like to block certain numbers or forward those numbers to another number (not all calls), but there seems to be no option on this phone that I have found. They charge a 4.99 monthly fee for a phone limit you can add numbers to, but i am already paying a monthly cell bill. Are there codes that will work on this phone? Is there a feature I am unaware of?
Thank you.

Answer
The only way to accomplish what you want to do is to pay for the phone limit feature. The phones themselves have no ability to do what you are wanting to do. The phone limit feature is software supported by AT&T that will allow you to accomplish what you are wanting to do and it is done in the network with software.
