call blocking
as above what is considered the best working app for a desire to block unwanted calls?
also may aswell ask which is best paid app for same purpose?
many thnaks
I'm fairly sure this is built in. Just add the number you want to block to the phone book and then check the "Send to Voicemail" and the phone won't even ring
Try SPC. It really rocks.

I'm looking for a call filter similar to Magicall on windows mobile. I would like to send all callers not in my contact list to voicemail while keeping a separate call log for blocked calls. Any suggestions on apps that actually work?
Try "call filter siesta", its a kind of free white list app.
You can define groups and individuals. It also have a nice feature
that can unmute your phone by sms.
easy filter is good and its also free
"Root Call Blocker" in the market works great, has a bunch of options for each type of call. Only thing is, you must be rooted for it to work. Its a paid app, but worth the price. I use it.
I recommend "Reverse Lookup", it has the ability to give geo location of the phone number's registered address and filtering features.
Powerful indeed!
Root Call Blocker
Another recommendation for Root Call Blocker.

Does anyone have any experience with this app from the market?

Why bother? There is a blacklist on your phone already that blocks calls....
I use that, however I haven't figured out how to block unknown numbers is why I ask. Also, the built in app allows blocked callers to leave voicemail

Only thing I notice with this app is that it shut off data at reboot and takes a bit to turn back on. Other than that, it works as it should

All apps will take the caller to voicemail unless you call tmobile and tell them to change it. I had to do it when I used the call blocker app on vibrant before I found the blacklist. After you have tmo change it, if you stop the ring by rejecting the call or if they are on blacklist, it will ring busy. If you let the call "ring out" for lack of a better term, it will take the caller to voicemail. Also, there should be a tab in the blacklist to reject unknown callers.
thanks for the info very helpful
it would help if I had the Unknown number checked in the auto reject options
thanks again
i have used "MR. Number" from Market and it worked pretty good for me.
I use extreme call blocker. and you can set it like pick up and hang up. found in the market
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
Can someone recommend a good call blocked to block specific numbers

Google Voice.
Or Root Call Blocker. Google Voice is only good if that's the number being called, if they're calling your cell number (assuming you haven't ported it) you're sol.

Call Filter in the Market will let you block specific numbers. You might also want to look in to Youmail. Youmail lets you ditch specific callers so they cannot leave voice mail.
Try Mr number. It's the absolute best one you can download.
From the official iPhone killer.
Just add the number to your contacts and set it to not ring.
I have a SPAM contact that everyone goes into.

As far as I know, this option isn't available on the ET. Samsung removed it from the official ROMs, for whatever reason. Its probably only available in the ASOP ROM's.
Its a shame, too. I had a similar contact set up on my Moment that sent calls straight to voice mail.
You can block numbers incoming/outgoing as well as texts incoming/outgoing using the Sprint website under MySprint.

I've been using afirewall since I got on Android. Never let me down. It also blocks private numbers which is my favorite thing about it. Paired up with YouMail's greeting saying this number does not accept blocked calls. I hate block calls so its just perfect!

I'm looking for an app that allows me to blacklist callers, ideally play a disconnect message or just reject the call. There's a ton of apps out there like that, I was looking for some feedback from people have used apps they like. Thanks!

Private SMS and call from the playstore
Thanks for the suggestion third son seeing as it's the only one I guess I'll try that
i use
Call Guard
no complaints with it so far.
I use Root Call Blocker Pro.
Allows me to either blacklist or whitelist contacts, specific numbers, numbers from certain area codes, or unknown callers. I can reject calls and send to voicemail or ring once and hang up without sending to voicemail. No complaints so far. It can block sms too, haven't tried it. There's a hidden mode where you can launch the app by entering a code in the dialer

I also use Root Call Blocker Pro, very powerful app many features.
I love and use "You Mail". Its free... It's an answering service... You can customize your greetings.... And ditch calls... Next time that number calls your phone they are greeted with "DA DA da, the number you have reached is no longer in service.. Gotta love it...

+1 on Youmail and ditching callers.
I like Mr. Number. It does all the things you're looking for and it's also free.

that kenny sure is sneaky.
always popping out from behind you and shuffling you off to some where else.
:laugh:
google voice does this. not sure if you knew.
So the reason I'm asking this question is because as you know in the u.s. the robo calls are outrageous. In the Samsung phone app you can block and report those numbers. But the numbers still show up in your recent list which to me is annoying. In the options you can pick which calls to show but then you'll miss out on seeing the other types of calls. I downloaded the Google dialer app and while it works it doesn't give you an option to block calls. If you click on the info button for that call you can't block it so that's a no go for me.
So what dialer app are you guys using that lets you block calls but also doesn't show those numbers when you block them?

try truecaller, its good although there is a lot of in your face ads asking for you to buy premium
Drupe is my pick - same about ads though - but awhile back I bought lifetime pro features and never looked back - it does the best at automatically IDing caller ID, handling blocked calls, recording, recents, favorites, and everything else I'm looking for in a dialer app. I hope you like it too! (It's totally worth giving a try even with the free version for a while)
