Hello. I just received my Galaxy S 4G today and I was wondering if there is some way for me to send certain contacts directly to voicemail like I could on my previous phones? I've looked all around and couldn't find it.
Possibly a great app if it's not available?
Thanks for the help everyone.
_edit_ for the record I tried this:
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap Call settings.
Tap All calls.
Tap Auto reject.
Tap Auto reject list.
Tap Add number.
Enter desired number.
Tap Save.
but that doesn't send the calls to voicemail, and then it shows that I missed 12 calls from that specific number at one time. It's crazy. I need it to go to voicemail specifically. Thanks.
On any given contact if you bring up the menu, you'll see the option to add to ignore list. However, I have other issues. I have 5 contacts called Spam, and between them there are more than 100 numbers. After adding the third contact to the ignore list, I got a message saying that I had crossed 100 limit and that I must delete some entries to make space. This is annoying. I wish someone figures a way to send a contact straight to voicemail.
Ah miui allows u to black.list calls n send them to. Voicemail

Hey gang,
Long time no see. Just made the leap to the One X and have a few questions. Here the first...
When receiving an incoming call, the screen could be unlocked, or it could be locked.
If it's unlocked, there doesn't seem to be an option to reject a call and send the default SMS to the caller - either with one click, or a two (actually THREE)-step process as below.
If it's locked, you're offered the multi-step process of dragging the reject icon into the lock ring, then the UI offers you the send text option that, when selected, doesn't just send the default reject SMS, but rather asks you to pick one from your quick text list, then send it. It doesn't even default to your like, default...?
Weird thing is, there's a place to define the text for your default call reject SMS in the phone settings.
So. Where am I going wrong?

As long as we're discussing it, it also seems that the response-text will only go out through the default messaging app - there isn't any way to use GV. Any ideas?
Searched but cannot find the answer. I have one friend who uses hangouts like me and i can usually drop the box down on my Nexus 5 to the left of the message while in hangouts and choose "SMS" yet for this one contact I no longer can. Anyone have any idea? I have to send a separate sms message to him and its kind of annoying.
Thanks.
With a friends help i see you have to long press on a conversation so its selected and choose the other conversation then up top choose merge. Simple enough.
I cannot for the life of me find how to block sms on samsung messaging app.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Blocking SMS
This seems to work,
I downloaded a generic app (Google Messenging) and made it my SMS default app. Then went to Settings, Apps, Samsung Messages, Permissions and Deny SMS. Then I went through all apps that have SMS permissions and also Denied. Then I uninstalled the Google app that was my "Default". Then you can go back to what app (if any) you actually want for SMS and give it back permissions.
For some reason every time I tried to just "Deny" Samsung Messages without another app being the default, and other program's permissions, Messenger was persistent.
Hope this helps
He's not talking about blocking all SMS, but more like blacklisting numbers.

If what you're trying to do is block a specific number from sending you sms messages you need to tap Phone then MORE in the top right corner then Settings and then under "Call settings" tap Call Blocking and on the next window tap block list and then just add the number! Done.

This method only blocks calls but not sms. It's so easy to add numbers to a spam list on other note 5 from other carriers. But for some reason verizon has taken thing feature out.

I think if you're using Google Messenger, you'll have go into the actual text message and then tap the 3 little dots in upper right corner then select people and options and then right under Vibrate it should say block. On samsung messenger I'm not to sure cause I don't use it . That's a bit weird that blocking the number through the phone would still allow it to text message you..
Hi, I don't have that option in message 6.3.10, Samsung note 5, Verizon. But for $60 a year, they will allow you to block 20 whole numbers. I have why more scammer and people texting me that I don't really want to hear from than that

If you download third party SMS app, you are able to at least blacklist and never have to see the messages.
I personally use Textra, I upgraded to the paid version. In fact. The blacklist and mute features were the two selling points for me. Well worth the investment for the added features.
I use SYnk.me or call blocker to control messages and Calls

I'm looking for a way to show each call's date and time. Is there an app for that?
EDIT - Verizon stock
I'm interested in this question : I record my call with Skvalex's Call Recorder, so I can get those informations from here, but I'd rather get them directly from the call app.
I might install Skvalex's Call Recorder just for the history date and time. I don't care if it actually records the conversation which I read is a problem with non-rooted phones.
I downloaded it from their website instead of the store
It's hard to believe that phone lacks such a basic feature. All the Samsung's I've used have it.
At least on A10, on the center "Recents" tab it will show the date - if you want the time, tap the call you want then tap "History".
Another way is from that same tab, click the top right 3 dots, then call history, tap call, then "Call Details".
But if you are looking for a list of all the call date/times already displayed, then I agree the default phone app doesn't make it easy to see which calls came in on which date.

I dont see the issue. If I go into my call history (of my stock dialler), click on a call which then expands to show a sub menu, which I can then click on "history", which has all the dates/times to that number.
Hi,
Can't find that setting anymore neither in Phone app settings nor in Reminders settings.
Not available anymore?
Thanks!!!
Well.. you need to slide up during a call and Remind me in 1 hour option is on the top of the text message list.
Who could have thought..
