Blacklist App

Is there a blacklist app that can work low level on blocking calls and sms?

Blacklist is ok, if your rooted root call blocker is great

The problem with blacklist is that it does not erase the call log. Do you think this problem will be solved if my phone is rooted?
Thanks

Yea blacklist is "ok" root call blocker i believe has a setting to not log calls or sms. And blacklist usually rings like half a ring last time i used it, but it been a while. If your rooted go with root call blocker, the free one works great

Root call blocker is the best and it erases logs

avast antivirus has one built in

I'm using Call Guard. It has black and white list + option to delete call log and can also block SMS.

However it cannot erase the call log even if i set it.

u can try private SMS or shady SMS. Both blocks SMS n calls. N move them out from the normal SMS n call Logs.

Just root your device, install RootCallBlocker and search no further...

[Q] How to block text messages from unknown #

Hey guys,
I've been receiving 2 texts every 5 minutes on my phone since earlier today. Each text says the same garbled message and arrives exactly 5 minutes after the previous pair. I now have over 60 identical text messages.
I called Sprint and says since the originating # is unknown or blocked, there's nothing they can do. Has anyone had a similar experience in the past? Any good advice for me besides changing my phone number?
Thanks 3:

Easiest way is to.......
Use a blacklist Apk, there are several
switch to an MIUI ROM that has a built in blacklist

Garbled how? I would try texting Stop as that usually works for the spam ads.
Hope it helps

This is the message:

When I view the details of the message, it says the phone number texting me is:
""
Therefore, there's no way to block this using an app since there's no # associated with the texts

Me and my son are getting same messages in ohio

when i was texting someone from craigslist and all of a sudden some of the text started to look garbled too and it would be every other 2texts from this person...i thought they were texting from a different language that wouldnt convert into english lol

Could this be the same issue?

[Q] BlackList Numbers?

I am using CWM 10 with my S3 and was wondering how can I blacklist calls and texts from unwanted numbers? I know in the stock touchwiz5 you could add contacts to blacklist but I just don't see it with CWM 10...do I have to use a 3rd party app to do this now?

If you add the number as a contact you can send all calls to voicemail. I don't know of any way to block the texts though.

Hey thanks for this. I was able to setup send to voicemail. I haven't found a way to do away with text though. I'm guessing I'll have to use an app for both...

Stop spam text messages?

I'm getting a ton of spam text messages sent to my phone. I strictly use Google Voice for messaging and these are being sent to my actual phone number, so without a text message plan I'm being charged for each one of them. Is there a way to stop all of these spam texts?

Call verizon and ask for a text block.

Do not text STOP... they will then know that your number is a legit cell. Just call Verizon, get a credit back for the unwanted texts and get a block.

One of the companies I consult for will take the "Stop" text and add it as a valid mobile number. Your number will then get sold to a marketing company as a premium number. Just ignore it and block.

My bad did not know you were a consultant. Please take Sebastionravens advice

wife's device just started getting crazy amount of sms ads. We both use extreme call blocker and it can block sms as well. Not sure if you get charged for sms since we have the unlimited text plan. Never felt that google voice was stable enough for kids.

Phone App.

Well. This forum is dead but posting something I found about a month a go.

This official Google phone app, I'm not sure what device it's for, replaces our gimped v3 phone app and gives Pixel features including spam calling.
install, disable the OEM phone app, then make sure this is default in settings.

Spam calls do they block them or just send them to voicemail?
