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.

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.
Hello,
When I used Windows Mobile I had and app that could filter and block call. I could add some phones to my blacklist (so if I received an call from this number it would block it) whitelist and I could also send some pre-wrote SMS when receiving a call.
So if I were on a meeting and someone called me, I could send him a SMS saying "This is an auto response: I'm in a meeting right now and I'll call you back when it finishes." I could do this direclty in the answering screen. I could "Answer" the call, "reject" and "ignore and send SMS"
Does anyone knows if we have a similar app for Android? Couldn't find it in the Android market.
Thanks
I'm not sure about the auto-SMS feature, but the Galaxy S has a built-in feature to block calls from certain numbers.
I m looking for the same. I did found the app AutoResponder whitch sends a predefinded SMS to all incoming calls when the app is activated. Its not exactly what im looking for because im not able to choose on incoming call screen whether i want to send the SMS or not.

Yeah. With this Windows app that I had on my HTC Kaiser (one year ago... after that I used a Blackberry for sometime). I could choose which call I would answer with SMS. I could see who was calling and decide to answer, ignore or send the SMS.
Get Easy filter 1.2 from market or install the other hundreds using "filter" as keyword

Sending SMS to reject call is available on our SGS out of the box. When a call comes through, there is this little arrow at the bottom of the screen. Pull that up and you can see the list of auto-reject SMS messages. Click on 1 and your phone will reject the call and send out the SMS.
You can configure the list of messages under Settings->Call Settings->All Calls->Reject Call with Message
Hi,
for me "call & sms filter" from easyfilter works very well.
I can recommend it. And its for free.
Positive: has not only negative list but also positive list (block all except....).
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy
Android App by Onion Systems"

Anyone could suggest auto-reply app where you could make whitelist for the people accepting calls and the rest auto-answering with SMS?
Used to use Advanced Call Manager on symbian where you could define profiles based on provider station you are currently connected on.Took some time to detect all the cells in home, work, caffe area but it switches profile s automatically later on and at home it accepts family calls but respond all the rest with SMS.
The droid version of this app does not have this functionality anymore and just as an answering machine is in my opinion way too expensive.
Suggestions and experiences welcome.
Thx
Edit:
The closest app I found would be TEXTBACK Geo but it seems unavailable :=(
http://textlogic.com/textback/
bump.
I can not believe no one is using busy self answering app in this board ?
Miui has one where when someone calls you it sends a text with your permission saying Not Available or some other message like that1
Thank you aaasey786 , but not exactly what i am looking. Any other thoughts?
Did your G4 come with native call blocking? My Verizon G4 doesn't have (I suspect they removed it) any native call blocking. I'm currently using "Call Blacklist Pro" and it's working the way I want, only my contacts will ring through. All other numbers go straight to VM. I get anywhere from 0 to 6 calls per week from blocked or unknown numbers, and so far they've all been blocked.
If you use something else, what is it? I'm open to trying new options. While my current app is working OK, I still wish my G4 had native blocking like my Galaxy S4. I wish Verizon would stop removing stuff.
It's there on Verizon, but hidden. I used an app called quick shortcut maker. Search for reject. You'll see a call reject activity. Make the shortcut on your home screen, and it works great.
if you have root, use RCB Root Call Block Pro... the best Call Blocker i every seen
thank you so much. I was getting rather aggravated that Verizon hid call blocking. Had it on my note 3 and just got a g4 today and there was no call block list. Glad its still there, even if it is hidden.
Verizon charges for call blocking, of course they hid it.

Other ways to see rejected calls is, simply go to call logs, and you will see a "red crossed" circle down the numbers call rejected for.
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)
