Hello. Does anybody knows an app that can block calls from contacts ?
There are quite a few in the marketplace but from what I am finding none of them can totally block the call, the first ring, and on screen notification always happens.
There's a option on the contact that says "send directly to voicemail" use that
And if you dont want to send them to voicemail..
1)BlacknWhite.callblocker.pro.v2.7.0 and 2) Security Guarder

My provider doesn't send voicemail notifications the usual way, but instead sends a text message instead.
This renders VM notifiers on most themes as useless wastes of space.
Has anyone heard of an app/theme/UI that can recognise these messages and add them to the voicemail notifiers? (This way, I could just click on the notification and have it dial up voicemail for me.)
Or has anyone heard of any app or anything that does anything interesting with this type of system?
Most voicemail (in the UK at least) seems to default to the annoying SMS notification, or the even more annoying ringback - If you're not able to take a call, why does voicemail think you will be able to 30 seconds later - duh! Anyway, rant over.
If you call your voicemail you should be able to get to the settings menu and change they way you are notified, from SMS to a voicemail icon.
Hope this helps.
Interesting. With this provider there is no other option. SMS notification only.
aFirewall allows you to configure multi scenes to block different call and SMS at different time. It has following features.
1). You can add black number or white number from call log, SMS log, contacts or add it manually;
2). Multi scenes is supported;
3). You can set Call Block Mode and SMS Block Mode seperately;
4).Support to multi hangup mode. You can forward the blocked calls to voicemail or a non-existing number. And you can set aFirewall to accept and hangup blocked calls to avoid forwarding to voicemail.
5). Prefix wildcard supported;
6). SMS response to blocked call was supported;
7). Password setting is supported;
8). SMS keywords Block is supported;
9). Export and Import of black list, white list, settings and blocking record are supported;
10). Complete log for rejected calls/messages;
11). Support to block unknow and private calls.
You can download it from market by searching "afirewall". Thank you.
Since we are on the Topic of a FireWall, I'm sure people will look up something for Internet.
DroidWall is the app name and its free on the Market.
If you don't have a data plan like me, this is the best thing if you are tired of using APN droid when you want to enable MMS, just go to whitelist and select Messages. Thats it!
I haven't seen any glitches in the app or crashes.
what kind of block modes do you have?
busy, shut down, out of service?
I'm desperately looking for an app to block out-going sms from my phone. I don't know why but all of a sudden, my phone unperiodically send an hidden sms to an unknown service number which does not display in sms app. I know this for sure because my balance is dropping down while I do not make any call or sms intentionally.
Is there any app which block and pops up to ask for permission when an app try to send sms same as what droidwall is doing with app try to use internet Connection?
I keep getting notifications of Can't get MMS so I turn on Data and click the message on the notification screen. Nothing happens. I have received MMS recently so I think this is just one of those new advertisers sending me a MMS with no phone number. I'm using Textra as a messaging app and I have notification dots turned on. So the Textra Icon is showing a Dot but when I go into the app none of the entries in the history list has a dot. I don't know who is trying to send me MMS. This has to be fixed because it's like screening your phone calls. If you don't recognize the number I don't want to download the MMS. There seems to be no cancel option. This must be added. It can't be blocked because you don't know the number. Wouldn't it be great if you where able to block MMS or SMS with blank recipient phone number. Wouldn't it be great if robo callers where not allowed to set their phone number as blank. Wouldn't it be great if Robo callers were required to set a code that a phone app could read and bypass the call.
Is there any app that can block someones messages from arriving to the conversation, or even delete directly after arriving without me having to see it?
i want to keep calls available.
