Problem we're having with a phone this one on a prepaid plan, is even though it's connected to google voice and all those features, people can text/sms directly to the phone's basic number. This is spam type stuff. Runs up charges. Hard to block text msgs, as like email spam they come from a million directions.
As a result have been trying to figure out if the other iPhone on Verizon can block certain or all texting. Hard to find info about on the site. Any pointers?

Google Voice can forward to iPhone so can be used to add features to iPhone that it normally does not have.
Calls => Google Voice => use cool features to block => other calls head straight to iPhone
You could even transfer iPhone number to Google voice and then have new iPhone number so all people with your current iPhone number would get a pass through GV for many nifty features as it rang on your new iPhone #

You miss the point of the thread I see. The question is about the disadvantage I see with the iPhone, that being blocking numbers FROM THE PHONE. Your solution of Google voice still points people away from the iPhone, thus I guess you agree with my defined disadvantage of the iPhone. Thanks for confirming that the iPhone can't do this alone. The Android can :)
