I would like to be asked if I want to continue with an international call or have the call blocked and easily unblock it momentarily if I want. Anyone knows a good app for that?
Some of my contacts have both local and international numbers and I don't want to be calling the international number by accident (it already happened).
Thanks

do you ever get that one phone call from that same person over and over and you just wish they can go away. well me too. if anybody has a program that can stop a person from calling your phone and send that number to a diferent number or a voicemail u dont have to listen to that would be cool. I know there are call filters out is there, but im looking for something that wont only block the number but also send them somewhere esle. so when they call you can have them rerouted to a different number. maybe to a already dis connected number so it seems to that person your number changed.
we have 2020, any answer for this question?
Kall8.com will allow you forward calls for specific callers. As a toll-free service provider, they also will provide a number if a caller blocks their call.
Youmail is a voicemail service that allows you to have custom messages for every caller & has a lot of options for filtering calls.
Personally, I use both of these services. I forward calls to Kall8 to expose blocked numbers and then forward the call to Youmail to do everything else I need it to do.
At one point I was also using Google voice forwarded from Kall8 as a way of live-screening specific callers that blocked their numbers.
I hope this helps.

Hey, so im visiting overseas now (israel), with my htc ozone (ookba's rom), and the most annoying thing is happening: For some reason, incoming calls show up without the country code (05x-xxx-xxxx) while incoming texts come in with the country code (+972-5x-xxx-xxxx), and the way the phone is set up, it doesnt realize that the two numbers are the same person. That means that either I have to save the numbers sans country code in order to know whose calling me, or add the country code in order to see whose texting me.
There has to be a way to fix this, to have the contact manager either compensate for country codes. Does anyone know how?
Contact name doesn't show up when they call - using Straight Talk AT&T on Verizon N3
Hello,
I am having some problems with my contacts after switching to a verizon note3 from an AT&T note 2. I had no issues on my prior phones (t-mobile HTC One, AT&T s3, etc) and all of my phones get their contacts imported automatically from my google account.
For some reason, when my friend calls, their number shows up as "+xxx-xxx-xxxx" with the plus sign in the front. Unless I go in and change all of my contacts to have that + sign in the front, my contact's name doesn't show up.
I also had trouble calling them back by pressing the missed call because of the plus sign (I get a voice message saying something like "the international call you are attempting to place is not possible". This has been fixed by an app called "prefixer" which can take out the + sign everytime I make any calls.
Other than changing all of my contact phone numbers, is there any way I can make my default contact app ignore the +?
International Prefix
I have the exact same issue. With a Verizon SIM it works just fine, but with a GSM SIM the calling number appears (incorrectly) like +212-555-1212 (rather than simply 212-555-1212, or even, correctly, +1212-555-1212)
Can this be fixed in the ROM or kernel, or better yet, by the user?
Thanks
Hello everyone!
I was wanting to know if anyone knew of a good call blocker that works well. I have been getting a ton of spam calls from random numbers, they are never the same., so blocking each one seems to be a endless task I would like to be able to block all calls and text msgs from anyone who is not in my contact list. I have a Sprint S8, and Note 8. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Get a copy of truecaller.
While I used it, it blocked 95% of spam calls.
I use this one and it's very effective.

I personally use YOUMAIL as default voicemail and call blocker. You can set different funny prerecorded greetings, for spammers and marketing I choose one that says, like the following number is disconnected or your calling an Indian CSR.
On top you get free transcribing for like 10 minutes of messages.

I'm researching call blockers. I'm currently inundated with spoofing type spam since most of the calls appear to come from my local area. Therefore I plan to setup the call blocker to block any callers not in my Contact list. After the call, I will check my voicemail to determine whether the call was legitimate. If legitimate I will tag them as safe so that future calls will be accepted.
While TrueCaller seems a nice call blocker, the free version has so many ads that they become a major distraction. The free version of Hiya is a joke and can't even meet my limited requirements. I like Should I Answer, but I'm interested in feedback from others before making a decision.
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....
