anybody know for any program which can block numbers. I have some trubles with some people. So I would like they are blocked... or devert to some other number.
Call SMS Blocker.
with this software you can also block the sms not only the calls...
PhotoContacts Pro
You can define a group of numbers and block that whole group
SPB Phone Suite also has excellent Filter for numbers listed in the Blacklist.
In phone settings your able to select who to block your caller ID on.
I chose show callerID only to people on contact list. But for some reason it just keeps blocking my CallerID for all outgoing calls.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes. For some reason it blocks your number from an outgoing call if you call a contact without using your contact list to place the call.
Having your contacts in your one touch dial and using that blocks the call.
Using the recent call list/missed call list also blocks your number.
I'd like to show the group of my contacts when they call me. It's handy if I'll have a 'customers' group, so I'll know who's calling.
Thanks for the help
Is it possible to block outgoing text messages?
I've found a number of apps that block incoming texts and calls, and even an app to block outgoing calls, but I did a little research and it seems that blocking outgoing text messages isn't possible in Android OS.
Hi there
I'm receiving spam SMS from such with no phone number, thus it seems impossible to block those morons. It's so annoying that Samsung has no option to block spammers without a number!
I had used Hangouts before and I was able to somewhat block such but now Hangouts is stopping being an SMS app so I switched to Samsung Messages app.
Any way to somehow block those spammers?
Tru Calling App maybe?

Caller ID apps have nothing to do with SMS and they wouldn't be able to recognize spammers without numbers.
Somehow these spammers send SMS via different way that allow them to send SMS without showing their numbers or having no numbers at all.
It's freaking annoying that Samsung doesn't include an option to stop these.
Same problem here. I used chomp sms and i had that option. Now i´m trying to use the default app and thats impossible to do. It´s really annoying.

Try Calling does SMS also.
Hi there ! I have also the same problem here in Turkey . I just called the customer technical service of Samsung ( for my S8 ) . They informed that the only way to block these SMS is : go to block messages > there are 3 options , select the second one ( block icons/symbols ) > for example I'm receiving sms from 'marsbet' , so I wrote marsbet and clicked on the '+' icon . Now I will wait if it works or not . Please also try the same and keep us posted if it works or not . Thank you guys..
Just to explain more clearly :
Tap Messages.
Tap the 3 dots icon.
Tap Settings.
Tap Block messages
Tap on the second option ( Block symbols or block icons , or something like that ) , write the name or word of the message and tap on the '+'
That's all...
yes that will work but if the spam caller is called John and you add that name to your block list I believe that will block all messages from any john even if they are in your contact list
I have similar but opposite problem.
I receive emergency response messages via text with caller ID being a name not number.
I cannot add this as a contact or change the notification tone for them meaning I don't know if it's a fire call or just a normal message
