Best Answer

Some cell phones have a built in call blocking/screening feature. For that you need to check your phone's user's manual/guide.

You can also contact your mobile network carrier on information on how to enable their service's call screening feature.

What does it mean when you call someones cell and you get message saying the subscriber you have called is not accepting incoming calls?

It means that they haven't paid their cell phone bill. The cell companies do this to help the customer "save face" in the event they're expecting an important call.


Does the phone bill show you all numers dialed?

It depends on if your on a cell phone or on your house phone. On cell phones, some people have a certain amount of minutes that are free. Cell phones also have certain times at night that it will not cost you anything. Cell phones can also have free weekends if you get that. Your house phone always shows long distance phone calls and sometimes your phone shows local phone calls. It really depends on what kind of plan or phone you have got.


Why would a cell phone have a user unavailable message?

the message you are getting the person you have called is temporarily unavailable is due to one of two possibilities 1)there mobile phone is switched off and they dont have voicemail active. or 2) the customer may have a partial bar placed to their handset by their network provider (if they are in arrears etc) which only allow incoming calls.. if this is the case it may not allow an incoming call to be diverted to voicemail, as this may be classed as an outgoing call from there mobile, which they are unable to do whilst their handset is barred. i found this at http://mosaixusergroup.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000319.html


What cellphone companies offer plans with unlimited minutes?

Cell phone providers vary as much as your cell phones, offering everything from unlimited minutes to video calls to internet access plans depending on your preference.


Can you retrieve text messages?

Yes you can but with circumstances, if the other cell phone is in your acct., all you have to do is go to the carrier and tell them what you wanted, but with some money in your hand. Cell phone company has rules and one of that rule is all about the privacy of the customer. First response is correct, but if the acct does not have your name on it, or you don't pay the bill, then you MAY NOT retrieve other persons messages. It would be an invasion of privacy.You can , however , scroll the last numbers dialed or numbers of the incoming calls if you know how to work that particular phone. With the name and model number, you can get the info how to do this. If the text or message retrieval is password or access code protected , you may not access it without that info or permission.
