How to block phone numbers on Android mobiles to avoid calls

Stop calling, that’s fine! Surely some of you feel identified with that expression, and sometimes they call us so many times that we end up fed up. Whoever it is, the question is to ensure that they do not bother us anymore. Therefore, today, we will talk about blocking calls or spam messages on our mobile, especially if they are from commercial numbers that call without stopping.

First of all, it should be noted that this method works for any Android mobile on the market regardless of its brand: you can block calls on a Xiaomi, a Huawei, a Samsung, or any other. If it is Android, it will work.

How to block a phone number

If we investigate the different options of our smartphones, we will likely find an option to block calls and messages. In practically all of them, the steps to follow are the following:

1. We go to the “Telephone” application of our smartphone.
2. We select one of the numbers from the list that we want to block.
3. We look in the application menu for the option to block that number.

But since the applications, menus, and options may be different depending on the software of each manufacturer, it is worth seeing how calls and messages are blocked on the devices of the most popular brands.

My mobile does not have this function, what can I do?

All is not lost; nothing happens if your smartphone does not have this function, it will simply be necessary to resort to one of the many applications that allow you to perform the same action. So let’s go to see the best applications to get rid of the most annoying.

Call Blocker Free – Blacklist

One of the featured applications to stop bothering us once and for all. A simple and easy-to-use service that allows us to do everything mentioned above, we can block calls and SMS from any number we want to add to the application. The operation is really simple:

• Download, install and run the application.
• On the main screen, press the “+” button.
• Add as many numbers as you want to block. This can be done by importing them from the call or message log, from the contact book, or entering the number manually.

And really, this is all that needs to be done to configure the app; the tool itself takes care of the rest. When a call is received from one of the numbers entered in the black list, the application will block the call, and we will appear as “busy”. Although the phone will wake up – that is, it will receive the call – it will not ring or vibrate and therefore will not disturb you.

The app itself will also save the call in its own registry, so you can control which are the heaviest numbers and, if necessary, block them through your operator. It is super easy and functional; you will hardly notice that you have it installed – and no, it does not consume much battery or mobile resources) –

Another application that allows us to block calls and messages easily and quickly. The application intercepts all calls from private or unknown numbers and hangs up automatically; you also have the possibility to redirect these calls to your voice mailbox. It also allows you to make a report of these calls to notify other users. You just have to follow a few simple steps to configure it:

• Download, install and run the application.
• We select the country with the corresponding code – + 34 in Spain- and write the phone number.
• To start blocking contacts, you will have to click on the prohibition symbol at the top right of the screen to access the block list.
• The blocklist contains three tabs: Hang up, Voicemail, and Exceptions. When a contact that appears in the “Hang up” tab tries to call us, the phone will automatically hang up the call. The numbers that appear in “Voicemail” will be redirected to voicemail.
• The “Exceptions” tab shows the contacts that will not be blocked or redirected. Therefore, this is where we must include the numbers of relatives, acquaintances, and other people from whom we do want to receive calls.

It is also possible to block contacts directly from the main screen of the application. In the “Recent” tab, which shows the history of calls received, press the “Menu” button next to each log entry and select “Block Number.” A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to block the contact or redirect all your calls to voicemail.
