Hey guys, on my previous phone (LG V30) I was able to block calls depending on what the phone number started with. For instance, I want to block all calls from a specific area code + prefix, but I'm unable to figure out how to do this on the S10+. Is there a way without using a third part app? I can only find the option to block entire numbers and I'm not about to enter in all 10000 numbers!
I haven't seen a way yet but the third party app you don't wanna use would be Me. Number. I haven't seen any ads yet either so it's probably worth trying.

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'm quite possibly wrong about this but I believe that if you update to the most recent version of the "Phone" app there is now a setting which allows you to select a phone number which has called your phone and then choose to block the number in the future.

From what I saw on my Nexus 5X now running 7.0 (which I bought this summer after frustrations with my MotoX and lack of regular security and feature pack updates), it does appear the native phone dialer app in Nougat has the ability to flag calls to be blocked and/or "reported as spam" back to Google... With the MotoX on 6.0 today, however, unless you use Google Voice/Hangouts (and Google delivering the incoming call instead), I don't see how Google can block calls before they ring on your device today. That being said, Google is hopefully working on a solution (speculation on my part) to have the native phone app do a "spam check" when it receives and incoming call (even from a carrier) on the device before it treats the calls as legit and notifies you (rings)... In theory, if millions of Android users start reporting spam phone numbers, Google should have a decent database to check against. This is the concept behind apps like Truecaller in the PlaySTore, but BE CAREFUL with those: they require your consent to copy ALL your contacts into their cloud and add them as "safe" (real) callers for everyone!
The real problem with spam calls in the US today is the open nature of the SIP transport protocol implementations all carriers are now using in their networks... Caller Line ID info is spoofed on the fly (by the call originator) to appear to be coming from a legit area and exchange you make calls in/from. THIS is extremely difficult to defend against on a device by only being able to look at CLID to make a decision on allow/deny of call. If carriers spent more effort screening the calls being put on their network (i.e. ensuring the CLID is legit for the originating source IP), they could get a better handle on the current spam crisis IMHO...
Never needed to use an app before, so you can't do it with the phone itself?

Sorry, just noticed you aren't in the US... Not sure if the UK has the same spoofed CLID problem that we currently do over here... As the other poster also said, newer versions of the natuve phone app offer some protection against the same number ringing through a 2nd time (once you block it)... However, as long as the "bad guys" can keep changing the # they appear to be calling from EVERY time they call you, there really isn't any point in screening incoming calls based solely on the originating number...
My wife has hundreds of "blocked" callers listed in her iPhone yet she still gets (new) spam callers every day... Is anyone really shocked that scummy telemarketers have resorted to "SIP-hacking" to stay ahead of efforts to block their "real" number?

At the moment it's the same 2 numbers that I have to ignore , with my other phone you could turn the phone over to shut it up so wasn't a problem or add the number as a contact and block it but I can't do either with this phone

As long as the feature isn't removed by Lenovorola in the Nougat version the MotoX is announced to receive, you should very easily be able to do it right in the newer phone app I saw in 7.0...
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....
