Every blocker ive tried just hangs up after connecting. But I have urgent need of an actual call blocker that will send straight to voicemail or an app that will block all voice calls as if the phone is off.
Also, is there a way to block voice but keep SMS?
Thanks in advance.

try Gblocker
Its just like all the others - connects then blocks. Perhaps theres a root app to do what i require?
If you have the number saved as a contact you can edit contact details and there is an option to send straight to voicemail

Th only one which is working perfct for me including the feature you are asking is CallFilter Pro. Try the free version first to check.
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

I know that there call blocker apps that can answer/hang up or send the blocked call to voicemail. But is there a app that can send the blocked call to a special message. Something like the phone disconnected message. So the person would think that phone was disconnected and stop calling period or you can record your own personalized message for that particular number. This message would only be played for blocked calls and the regular voicemail message would be played for unblocked messages. Is this already an app or can someone develop it.

Great idea! I hope something like this can be done... Would be interesting if you could just set an mp3 as the receiving message or something. Very interesting indeed.
Sounds like a fun idea, maybe someone annoying keeps calling you and you set it to forward to an mp3 file of a message saying this phone line is disconnected... not a bad idea but right now i just add them to the blacklist and let it go to voicemail
I don't use this particular feature, but Extreme Call Blocker Droid can do this. As far as I can tell, the program works fine on my Nexus One (eventhough it says Droid in the name). Within this app, look at the "Pretenders" list for this feature. It comes with like dialtone, snoring and a few others by default (and you can add more).
Google voice does this.
When you get a voicemail from them add them as "blocked", next time they call, they get a "this number has been disconnected" message.
Thanks just what I was looking for.

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 for the brief moment that I owned the One Plus One with CM 11 it had a nifty feature which blocked both phone #s and the ability for said phone numbers not to leave voice messages.
I think it actually dropped the call.
Android has a similar feature in the contacts section, but this still forwards the phone # to the VM service and they are able to leave voice mails.
Is there and app or hack which allows me to completely drop and block calls from ringing and leaving a voice mail?

Hi,
I'm looking for a Call Blocker App that can block all calls except from contacts I put in a Whitelist and that blocks
the call before the call connects/rings from the caller side.
There are many Call Blocker Apps on the Play Store that can block all calls except from contacts in a Whitelist, but
all the ones I've tried so far connect/ring before the call is disconnected, so the caller can here the phone ring/connect before the App
rejects/disconnects it, therefore the caller can workout that the call has been blocked/rejected.
I'm from the UK and have a stock/un-rooted Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 5.0.2, so I'm looking for an App that doesn't require my phone to be rooted.
Thanks for you time...

You can block certain contacts and all unknown calls from the dialer and contacts.

I have been using Call Control from Kedlin Company for past 2 years. It works great for both call/SMS blocking with both Black and White Lists. Try it. You can find it at Play Store.

Thanks, I've already found that option, but the problem is that it just silences the call rather than disconnects it.

I'm trying to figure out a simple way to block calls on the Z5. It looks like there's a workaround to blocking calls by adding the call to your contacts, and then letting that contact's calls go straight to voicemail, but I'd rather block the call altogether without adding it as a contact.
I just use a third party app like "Whitepages Caller ID & Block". It can send directly to voice mail or just disconnect the call without them going to voice mail.

Yep, that's the one I ended up installing. Works pretty good. Wish these features were already baked into the operating system.
