Anyone know of an app that can block calls from unknown or private numbers while NOT giving them the opportunity to leave a voicemail? Free is preferred!
For the record... Sprint does not offer a way to block these types of calls.

Any chance anyone can make a modified htc phone.apk with settings to block numbers?

If no one can find something for you, you can log into verizonwireless and set some controls that will block up to 5 numbers for a few months at a time. If you get the subscription, it'll lock them out forever, but if not, you just redo the number blocks every month or so.
login, go to safeguards, then call blocking.
Thank you for the suggestion but I'm on a business phone which means its more difficult to block a number through verizon. Besides, I want to be able to block someone for a few hours and easily unblock if I fight with parents or girlfriend

None of the blocking apps on the market work well because they don't respond until the phone.apk responds. Not quick or efficient enough

if you can root your phone you can try this

The
only way is to root your phone then there is a app that will do what you want but other than that the phone stock wont let any app mess with that part of the phone.cm7 has a blocker in itself that can do it, but then again you need to be rooted.
What about running calls thru google voice.
Spam from Individual Callers
If you get unwanted calls, you can choose to send the caller directly to voicemail, treat all calls from a particular number as spam, or block the caller. Follow these steps:

Almost all of the 2.1/3.0 ROM's have the capability to add and remove people from the blocked caller list. Don't think those dialers will work on Skyraider but you can try

There's an app called, "chikka" where you can send free sms and phone calls to the Philippines. I haven't tried it yet, though, but it's in the market.
Until recently I was using GOsms but it was just a bit too slow and bloated, however I did like the SMS filter they built into the latest version.
I get loads of texts from people offering me loans and asking about claiming for accidents I've never had and the new filter would let you block by number or by the message content, so I could type in common words from the sms and they'd be blocked.
Does anyone know of an sms blocker that does this but is stand alone and preferably free?

Search WhosCall, Mr Number , Call Blocker
I have the same problem when using the GoSMS.
There are many apps that provide a faster way to block the sms and call.
Such as WhosCall, Call Blocker, Mr. Number and so on.
But in my use experience, I found that the some apps would make my dial and sms function slow especially when I install all of them at once.
I usually use WhosCall now, it provide a good experience and high speed of search.
Hope it could help you.
Hi. Can you suggest a good call blocking app? An app that blocks only texts and calls from numbers I add.
Thanks

I use RootCallBlocker, it lets me quick add people if they call or go through my recent call logs and pick people to block. As the name suggests you need to root your phone to use it.
