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.

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.

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.
http://www.indiatrace.com/index.php
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,
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...

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.

Hey everyone.... lately I have been receiving an abnormal (for me) amount of spam callers. With Google Pixel its nice that Google points out that a suspected Spam number is calling me and alerts me with a red screen. I just ignore the call and then block them from calling me again. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to set the phone to automatically always block a suspected spam caller without having to do it manually? Would be great, b/c 100% of the time so far google has been correct in their suspicion do I would like the phone app to just block the number automatically. Anyone know if this can be done??
Thanks so much!

I just wonder if you could make a context that is the spam notification and use something like AutoInput to do that manual part you don't want to do.
