How do I block private and unknown? - HTC Sensation

I'm constantly harassed and short of changing my number, I want to just block Private Number and Unknown numbers.
My friend is able to do it via settings on her Samsung Galaxy S 4G, so I'm wondering where the feature is on my phone. Yes, I know I can block numbers, but usually, numbers, and not private or unknown in general.
Yes, I know I can just simply not pick up, but try getting constant calls and ignoring them without turning off phone.
I'm using Insert Coin 3.3.7 which is Sense 3.5. Preferably if I can do this without the use of a third party app.

I make the unknown or private a contact then you can send the call straight to voicemail.

Sms catcher

Is there a way for you to intercept a sms text message by knowing that person phone number
I've seen phantom SMS messages and voicemail notifications come through on a phone without being hooked up with service.
The phone must be made for that specific carrier and programmed with that user's CTN and MSID and PRL updated on that carrier.
I've only seen this on CDMA service.
Otherwise I'm pretty sure there's not a way to receive other people's SMS. Although there could be some software program out there that does it. But it would have to be installed on that specific phone to work.

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.

[q] best call blocker app

anyone can recommend me a good call blocker ?
that is able to block unknown no. and contacts not in contact lists.
when calls comes in, it will direct to voicemail immediately w/o ringing
I use "mr number call block" from the market, blocks unknown and numbers not in contacts and send them straight too voicemail. Its free too.

Android App to Block Unknown Callers?

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
