Surely you have experienced a moment of overwhelm when receiving unexpected calls, most of them from unknown numbers and which are not in your agenda. This often happens, so it is best to try to prevent one or more numbers from calling us to interrupt any moment of our day.
Sometimes we don't usually answer that unexpected call, since we don't want to talk at that moment and prefer to let it ring until we hang up. That in the end has a solution, to put the number on the blacklist, blocking that person from both calls and messages, although this does not happen with other phonebook numbers.
We explain you how to block all calls from your android phone, thus finishing those that you receive annoyingly over time. Despite being able to block the different ones received, some apps do this work for us if they are known as spam (pyramid scams).
Use Android system options
No need to use any app if we want to block all calls in Android, we will need the system options, being necessary and basic at least. Currently, all devices have the possibility of blocking any incoming call from their settings.
The rules at the time of each of the blocks will be the same, it will not appear that it is available, skipping the message that it is not available. It is a standard warning, so you will hear the same message repeatedly if you call a number that has blocked you for any reason.
This works on both Android and iOS, therefore, if you block a call, you will receive from other numbers that are not on the known black list. The good thing about it is that you will know who is blocked, before you have to go to the settings and see the complete list of added numbers.
Block calls to unknown numbers
This is probably the best way to get rid of unknown numbers in the middle, they are those that protect your number and protecting the ID at all times. Calls of this type have been disappearing, although there are a few who use it if they don't get caught with their normal identity.
Android blocks unknown numbers mainly if what you want to avoid is talking to known or unknown people throughout the use of that device. The blocking will be total, not passing any if you do not give permission again and you will receive any calls from a hidden ID.
To be able to block all unknown numbers, do this step by step:
- The first thing is to unlock the phone
- Enter the “Phone” application and locate “Settings”, click on this option
- Locate the “Calls” option and then go to “Blocked numbers”
- Flip the switch to "Unknown" to block any unknown incoming call, it will be rejected by your operator at all times, having to put the identity on your number to make calls
It is one of the settings that we surely do not know, it is on all Android devices, the same does not happen in Huawei, we always have the possibility of using an external app. Calls from strangers are not always well received, therefore it is best that you activate this and forget about these annoyances.
Block calls from a specific number
It will almost always be the same number that bothers you, the appropriate thing is to block a specific number, sometimes it may be more than one, therefore block as many as you can. One-to-one blocking is what most people usually do, permissible is that at least someone in your address book sends you a call.
Adding a number to the blacklist will prevent you from being bothered by conventional calls, and it is appropriate to do this by SMS, a feasible method. Certain apps do general blocking, so you should study this and not give an option to a number that bothers you with calls, SMS, among other different options, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc.
When blocking a number only, Do the following:
- Unlock the phone and go to the “Calls” app
- If you have made a last minute call, click on the «i» for information, enter the specific contact, click on the bottom right, which is “Settings”, click on “Block contact” and it will appear in the blacklist of your phone
It's that easy to block a number on Android, you also have applications, among them, for example, Call Control, available in the Play Store at this link, in addition to others such as Call Blocker, Call Blacklist, Call Blocker and SMS, the latter is perfect for what you are looking for, available in the cash register.
