Help i am getting unknown calls i don't know the number of it how can i block this this is really annoying getting in 10min 1 call and voice mail
They don't answer the phone
Report it to your phone company... they will identify and block it for you..
if your not willing to wait for your provider to block it you can use some program's on your phone.
There are personal call assistent program's, you simply tell them to block a specific number and notify your profider to block em.
Magicall is very good software not free but worth it as many filters can be applied.

How can I use call barring without blocking all calls but specific telephone numbers?I know WMobile doesn't support this option. Is there any software doing sth like this?I want to choose specific group of phones for call barring. For instance, I want on Sunday to block incoming calls from the group of work phones and not the personal group.Can anyone give me an answer? :?

Try as hard as I can to protect my phone nr. and e-mail address a marketing company got my phone number. I got a few spam texts from 77893. Verizon helped me put a block on the text. I have not received any in three days.
At the same time I started getting phone calls. A few had numbers, others were identified as (unknown) unavailable. With all the calls, about six a day there is never anyone there when I answer the phone.
Has anyone tried to block any callers on this phone or know of any feature to help block a number?
I was thinking of making a contact named (unknown) and applying a silent ring. But I think when a caller is matched up to a contact it is with a number, not a name. I have no number they are blocking it. Verizon has been very hands off on this problem and it is driving me crazy. Anyone have any suggestions?

This may help as it helped me. It isnt software or a tweak. Go to the National Do Not Call Registry website. It blocks your number from being called by telemarketers permanently if I am not mistaken. I got the same problem on my phone and after I registered my phone & my wifes, I didnt get calls anymore. Its a government program and is free. Here is a quote from their website....
"The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website. You can register your home or mobile phone for free."
Its not an instant solution as it does take up to 31 days but the good thing is that if they continue after the 31 day mark you can file a complaint on them. Go here. Hope this helps.

PS. This will have no effect on telemarketing calls from companies that you do business with because they have the right to call you unless you specifically tell them not to call you (ie. your cable company, your credit card company, ect.)
Give Magicall a try. I've been using it for years. It even has the ability to pick up a call and instantly drop it (the caller only hears a click and they are disconnected) It even filters SMS.

Thanks for the reply with Magicall. I am on the Federal Do not Call list. If someone still calls you can report them, but it clearly says on the FTC website that no one will research it
Verizon will block the unknown/unavailable callers for $5.00 per month! Surprise, surprise they figured out how to make money off the problem.
I will get Magicall.
I use vz and block numbers from time to time on the very slow vz website.. if you go under your account then over to the spam control section you can block 5 numbers but they only are for a limited time they usually have given up by then but you can just re-list it

by default it does not have an option to send to voice mail (like on HTC phones) but there may be an app out there that would add this function. If not your carrier should be able to block them
That is really strange, on the Acclaim if you hit menu while editing a contact and hit options you could direct calls directly to voicemail. Must be something with the TW Contacts app, I'd imagine if you installed the AOSP contacts(if its possible) you could do what your asking.
Try this app for number blocking Adanced Call Blocker their is a free and paid verison.
call filter app
call filter app has a kind of calculator looking icon.works great.
So I keep getting calls from auto-dialers coming as "Unknown" on Caller ID.. I answer and it's that 5 second delay then someone in a foreign country asking me to sign up for a newspaper or refinance. I want to ELIMINATE these calls. I have a block list that works good in Android, but it doesn't allow me to ass Unknown to blocked calls... I saw some posts from several years back, but nothing recent. Is there anything good out there today that I can install to block unknown\unavailable calls from coming through to my phone?
Thanks!

Yeah I saw that but the screen still flashes on and shows the missed call, even when I click delete it from call log. I wish there was one what didn't even process the call, like the built in blocker.
This should be an advanced feature of Google Voice as well. Anyone been getting calls from 0000123456 recently? Haven't been able to pick up yet, but I have missed two calls from this number now. Saw somewhere it might be skype caller. Wonder what could be done by porting Asterik into the Android kernel and having some nifty virtual PBX features built in!

The one that drives me nuts is the calls from Indian telemarketers.... US telemarketers are required by law to send ANI with their calls, but calls coming from outside the US don't have to comply, or aren't able to be enforced. I say if someone doesn't present their #, I ought to be able to reject them from getting through to my phone.
We in India are also facing major trouble with telemarketing calls & after being put to notice by the supreme court they have now started sending text sms, the best defense I have found against this is "Extreme Call Blocker Droid" this can block all private numbers or you can specify a list of starting numbers eg. block all numbers starting with 800
*Hangup mode block voice mail
*Block anonymous/private/unknown/blacklist calls
*Block unknown/blacklist SMS,
*Built-in private SMS mail box hide private txt msg
*Schedule on Google calendar to decide when to block.
*Hide private number calls in/out, no call log.

You can customize it to your hearts content & have a peace full day.
To trace the callers we have a site in India which you can use for tracking all kinds of numbers & text IDs.

then there are free apps too like blacklist-free & many other with similar features.

The one I use is called Easy Filter Call blocker. It can block calls and sms messages, including unknown numbers. You can set it to block them without notifying you if you want it to.

Block unknown Callers
You can block unknown callers by using some advanced phones.
in these phones you can either blacklist some selected numbers or reject all unknown mobile numbers (numbers which are not added in your SIM / phone's phonebook will get rejected).
Root call blocker pro. Its in the market.. Works great and doesnt show the caller, it just rejects it right away in the background and you can have notification of when calls are blocked. Also has sms block

Hi,
Is it possible to block all calls from people not in your contact list?
I only see an option to block calls from blocked numbers. My only other idea is to go into Do Not Disturb mode and customize it to only allow calls/texts from your contacts. You'll still get the calls/text's but it'll at least block them for you.

I use Calls Blacklist Pro, it's a paid app but I don't mind helping devs who produce exceptional apps been using it for 3-4 years now and completely satisfied. Has all kinds of option but specifically you can block all calls that aren't in your contacts list.

Try this.
Phone - Call Settings - Block Number - Block unknown caller. Should block calls from numbers not in your contacts.
