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....

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
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.

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

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!
I am trying to make my first app. I want it to have no icon in the apps tray and be hidden, with a name like Android system.
I want it to block sms from a specific number, and possibly forward it to another number, without the origional recipitent seeing it period. I want it to block incoming calls from the same specific number and not notify the origal recipitent of call blocked. I want it to block outgoing sms to that same specific number without notifying the sender. And/or send that message intended for the origional number to a secoundary number. And same with calls, i would like calls to that specific number to be blocked and not notify the caller that their call is not going to the specific number.
Do you get what im going for here? I want an app made specifically to install on one specific persons android, to block all contact between that phone, and one specific other persons number, without notifying either party their communication of choice is not reaching the other person. With the possibility of the transactions actually going to a 3rd number soley to be used as a "monitor" if you will.
Can anyone help me code this, itll be my first app, ive never done such. Or if its easy for a senior coder, could you throw the app together for me?
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Honestly. I would like to learn to do this myself in the future, so just help with setting up proper code is good enough!

This whole thing smells very "it puts the lotion in the basket"
relationship counseling maybe?
Cause what I read is. I don't want my significant other talking to person X so i wanna control it.
Creepy..... Very creepy
This requires a rooted device and it's pretty much illegal as far as im aware. For educational purpose:
A service(Services are not shown to the user directly) will be your sms listener and an activity will perform the sms actions.
You can possibly copy, resend and delete incoming messages in the activity. You pretty much wanna stay away from other people inboxes :}
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
