How to Block a contact on iPhone
What do you do if you regularly get calls from an unknown number or a person you want to get rid of? You get annoyed and call the customer care of your service provider and ask them to block that particular number. Even after calling them repeatedly, they do not take any action. You lose hope and continue to bear that nuisance or else you end up changing your number.
In order to prevent such a situation, AT&T (wireless carrier for the iPhone) has brought Smart Limits, an app which allows the users to block unknown calls with a monthly subscription. The application is not mandatory for iPhone users as the MCleaner will do it for them. A 15-day trial for MCleaner is available and the use can be extended to unlimited by purchasing it.
