    What is a "Restricted" number?

    Looking at my last phone call which I did not answer, most of the time, they list the number. This time, no number listed, only "Restricted". What in the heck is that. I do NOT like that at all. Being deaf, I don't answer phone calls at all, so why am I getting so many? I get about 5-10 a day.

    Cases that will eliminate the texting problem with the curved screen?

    The whole point of the S7 Edge is the sleek streamline looks and slimmed down size with curved screen which is a major selling point of this phone. However when you put a bulky case on it, not only does it defeat the two points above, it looks like any other bulky phone out there... "What...
