Hi Guys,
Is there any possible way to block an annoying friend from sending SMS and calling, just on a tempary level?
Cheers
I needed to block someone, i wont go into the reason why but if you want to do it permanently..... i had to change my number, and it cost me roughly £30 (with Orange), not sure about temporary. If you are able to block a specific number from calling or texting you, what's to stop the person just using a different phone!
I would think that you'd have to contact your carrier and have them block the number.
there are an software called call firewall that block the incoming calls and mesages from the number you choose
How about this Shareware stuff?

Thanks guys,
It's just someone that is currently being over bearing at the moment
Have you tried Call Firewall?
I use Magicall -- works a treat. You can set many parameters so you have a lot of control on what goes on. Has always worked for me on many ROMs.

Hi,
I'm receiving malicious phone calls from my ex-girlfriend. I'm on T-mobile UK and they DON'T have the facility to block calls on the network end.
Ideally I'd like a free program to block calls and texts but I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount. I've done some research my self and have found nothing that I've thought would do the job.
Help PLEASE... I want to throw my anti-anxiety medication away.
Dave.
Try Call Firewall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178 -it blocks atleast calls (but not SMS)..
Cheers, just d/l'd and installed. tested by blocking my brother-in-laws number and got him to call me. success!
THANKS!
Any ideas in regards to SMS?

I have had success with MagiCall. It can also block SMS. It can even be set up to pick up and hang up within milliseconds of receiving a call (instead of just "ignoring" the call .. which sends the caller to voicemail so she can leave you annoying messages that must be deleted. not so with pickup/hangup!). If you want to adjust the # of milliseconds between pickup and hangup, it is configurable in the registry. Just contact the developer!
It can block numbers with wildcards, even unknowns, and has time-sensitive settings as well. Can also block SMS via its contents (or sender).
Oh, and very small footprint, only 233.55kb (its fast!)
I've been using it for over a year and am very happy with it. Its $25. [http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html] And ... no, I promise I don't work for them!
Hey,
Thanks for your assistance, i'll buy MagiCall when i've got a bit of spare cash. thanks! I'll add these solutions to the wiki when i can.

Hey brotha I know what you mean I had the same problem. I was gonna change my number but I just ignored her and after about a month (I know thats a long time) she stopped. I have to give it to her she was persistent.
I need to block someone from calling or texting me if I can and I dont want to change my number
there must be something I can do with my o2 xda mini s to block a number?
help please
I use Call Firewall (attached a zip). I don't know if you can block text messages, but it is efective in blocking numbers. I have mine set to block unknown/private numbers, and any numbers not found in my contacts list. Hope this helps/is what you were looking for. Some of the cooked WM6 roms also have this program incorporated into their rom.
i just need to block one number and i know what it is, i dont want to block withheld numbers as I need to receive calls from these and I understand that this would mean the person could simply withhold their number
would that program work to that extent?
blocking texts would also be required
Ta for help so far
just wondering if there is some software (preferrably free) that i can use to block a certain number from texting me. basically they wont give up trying!
its a jade running windows 6.5 ... thanks
Jade phone already has the "call barring" facilities. however it must be supported by the service provider.
i'm with tmobile and it'll only allow me to block all the numbers.. or no numbers.
its only the one number i want to block though. thanks
Try this.

HTH.
block unwanted anythings
I use a program called MagiCall it wont let anything through and also you can set it to keep there end open even though you are not on a call with them so it wastes their money and not yours or your time
so for example person rings you , you set it to bounce back but disconnect at your end and the caller thinks they are still taking to you lol
neat app

Is there an app to block incoming calls from an entire area code? I get telemarketers from Phoenix on a daily basis. No matter how many numbers I block, they always manage to call from a different number.
Alternatively, is there a call blocking app which has a list I can edit by means of a text file? If so, I can just do something in Excel and have it increment by 1 until I have all 10 million numbers blocked. Of course, that would have to be a HUGE text file!
I program I use which is really great, but not free, is called MagiCall. I think it's well worth the money though cause it lets you block not only calls, but sms and it does incoming and outgoing. This program will let you block a whole area code, or any other way you want to block a number. You never even notice when it blocks a call, unless you want to notice it, then you can set it to show a notification
Mobiion MagiCall
Call Firewall... Free & works well.....

I bought MagiCall and installed it but I don't get how to block by area code
EDIT: Figured it out!
Examples:
To block the entire area code 852, enter (852)* or (852)???-????.
To block any phone number containing 7, enter *7*.
To block all other phone numbers except 12345678, enter ~12345678.
If you want to block phone number 633-7777 but not care about its area codes or country codes, just enter 633-7777.
Each item consists of a phone number and an optional comment using one space as the separator, so please don't leave spaces among phone numbers. To separate multiple items, use ';'. For example: (123)456-7890 Jack Will; (987)654-3210 Peter Lee; 135-790-8642
No more calls from the 602 area code for me!
Hello guys,
I'm looking to block numbers without letting the calling party/person to know. Actually when we block a number there will be a busy tone and calling person can easily know that his/her number is blocked. Unfortunately there is no other mode of blocking numbers.
I was using RCB (Root call blocker) in my previous device where i could use the mode of blocking numbers where there were continuous rings but in actual the number was blocked; and the calling person dont know if his/her number is blocked.
I dont wanna root the phone (S8) because of not loosing the secure folder.
Please do share if there is any app or any way to do it. Thanks,
How about just not answering the phone....
