Block, restrict or allow voice calls using My Sprint
You can control which phones on your account can make or receive calls, and establish a list of phone numbers that are blocked both for inbound and outbound calls.
To change voice settings, you must have a valid My Sprint account and be set up with an account owner profile. Account owners can block all phones associated with their account. If you are not an account owner and do not have permission to change settings on your account, you will see a message showing your current data control settings. Read more about the different levels of profile access on sprint.com.
