There may be more than one way to block a number on a Boost Mobile serviced phone but the consensus is to block a phone number from your phone or contact book text 9999 followed by the number you wish to block. If that person calls you they will be able to leave a message but the call will not ring through.

Open Send Text - which is what you will be doing
Type 9999 in the text header (it may appear as 999-9 but don't worry)
Go to the text body and type BLOCKxxxxxxxxxx (the full number you wish blocked) It will appear as BLOCK1231231234 for example.
Hit SEND and the text will be sent to Boost Mobile.
You should receive a confirmation text from Boost Mobile shortly afterwards
Remember that you while you will no longer receive texts from the blocked phone numbers, you will not be able to text them either.

Blocking a restricted phone not in your phone book is problematic. You can try calling Boost Mobile 1-888-266-7848 or 866-402-7366 to explain the problem (let's assume it is harrassment) and they will be able to tell you whether they can block a specific number for you depending upon the type of device you have.

Boost Mobile can actually block a specific caller but they will not reverse this if you change your mind. So better not to answer a call if you're just having a fight with someone; you can always listen to the voice mail or delete it unheard.

If you have an Android phone there is a free application you can download and there are applications for which you will pay. One app is "id blocker"

If you have a Boost Walkie Talkie (iDen Series) you can find the blocking instructions by scrolling down this linked page.

There is a really interesting article which you might want to read from another website.
