Well. This forum is dead but posting something I found about a month a go.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/
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?

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:

<²áAÓNÄ 4j‚„Ô bT\‚ múr ͳ~üˆ0òˇšä ôeÇ* ÍøðìA·.M8W [:½0

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

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...

Attached is the Sprint Visual Voicemail application, just download it like normal and it should work perfect. This is for AOSP ROM's that don't come with a built-in Voicemail application. I know some people use Google Voice but this is for people who don't use Google Voice.
To get rid of the text messages alerting you of a voicemail (9016) then follow these instructions:
1. Download Mr. Number from the Play Store, Here.
2. Block "9016" from text messages.
3. No more annoying texts!
Enjoy!

Thanks epic. Google voice really sucks and pretty annoying when receiving a call.

Can you use the Sprint Voicemail app if you have your sprint # associated with Google Voice?
I'm recording this message and sending it through gmail? if so, I got a domain name not found. I could just be doing it all wrong.

The voicemail app puts me in gmail when I hit send or else it pops the onscreen keyboard and will not actually "send" the message.

That method was for an older voicemail (I didn't realize that), try the new method and let me know.

Hmm... I don't have the LGOG anymore so I can't test. Have you gone through all the settings on the voicemail to make sure notifications are on?
Yeah I did, I think it just doesn't like me, I've tried everything

It should just work. It just sounds odd. Did you go into apps and clear cache and data for voicemail app? Go into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions?
I've used Google voice for years, but last week I accidentally set up the AT&T voicemail password and since then I can't get Google voice to take over again.
Would I need to contact AT&T about disabling their voicemail service?

Thanks a bunch! I had the same problem and this fixed it right up.
Alternatively (although not as easy), you can go into the Call settings, Additional settings, and then the Call forwarding settings and set up the Google Voice number there.

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.
