Can I disable the application settings in security, so that the only thing that it can be used for is phone calls?

I was able to have Verizon disable texting altogether. I only use it for calls. I've been on their $1.99 daily plan for two years now. It's great for me, because I hardly ever use my cell phone.

I guess that would be the downfall of the phone. I have not found a way to turn the ringer off or down, other than to unplug it. I don't mind as I do not get many calls on the land line. Thanks!

I know that call blocking is a part of my phone service package. I'm not sure if that really answers your question.

There is the capability of silencing the ring tone, however,one must reactivate the ring tone manually. No know call blocking feature. One may set the ring tone to off for callers that block their number(s). Hope this helps. Overall we are pleased with this product.

Yes, you can text and make calls with your cellular service, turning off wi Fi . You may also restrict applications from accessing cellular data by customizing this in Settings.

You can prevent calls from coming through (phone will not ring) by entering a list of people or phone numbers you don't want to receive calls from.

I got rid of the phone because it was dropping calls and then not turning off. But I never tried downloading apps. Sorry

Yes, you can put in only the prefix such as 800, 866, 877, etc and it will block all calls from these toll free numbers. The manual gives good instructions on how to do this.

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

Yes, but not easily, another option is an auto lock which keeps you from makeing accidental calls from your pocket. To lock your phone enter the "setting and tools" goto "phone settings" then "security" the code will be defaulted to the last four digets of your phone number. From there you change the pin and lock the device. If you happen to lose power or shut your phone off it will restart locked.All in all not the most secure but for most cases it will suffice

yes you can. What you can't easily do is to turn off the ringer if you are trying not to answer the phone call.

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.
