hi friends.i want an call blocking/black list App which will blocks the selected blacklisted number,and while that number call us...i want a response tone to be like "the user you are calling is unavailable" or a simple n silent call end up with some beeps unlike responding that blocked number as "the user is busy",as bcos this busy tone wil be saying him that we are rejecting his call.
i really wrexedup in searching this app.
in earlier i used nokia5230 S60v5,there i had an app named "M-Cleaner" which was also cald as "360 Principle",developed by some china dev's.this app works such like saying the user is unavilable or simply ending up the call witout saying anything.it's having an option of call forwarding rejection method.so i use to keep a some real unavialable number in that option n make choose that call forwading rejection/blocking method.i think due to this option that app was able to do so(as lik my requirement).
Please help me to find such an app in our android platform.i thought symbian is itself having such an outstanding app,y not for android?...n jumped to android.
my mobile-Samsung galaxy Y(not rooted).
Mr Number gives the option to pick up the phone and hang up automatically, but does not send an automated voice response to the caller, but that does sound great.

im not saying any automated voice responses bro.im asking about the "response tone" that comes by default from the service provider when we call.
for example if i cal a switched off mobile...then the service provider replies me as "the user/subscriber you are trying is unavailable/switched off ".this is wat im asking.

First, WITHOUT USING ANY 3RD PARTY APPS
If someone calls from a blocked/restricted number, is there any function in the Titan that would allow me to set it to not ring (or to only vibrate, or have a special ringer for only restricted calls)? I tried making a contact called restricted, but that didnt work.
Second, if the above is not possible, what are some 3rd party apps that I might try? I never pick up blocked calls, and I dont even want to hear it ring.
It's not exactly a 3rd party application, more like a service; check out www.youmail.com . If somebody with a blocked number calls me, it says "the number you are calling does not take calss from unidentified callers, please hang up and reveal your number."

Ummm.... There has to be a million. Ok not that many but seriously There are even some that are developed on XDA! I could find that one though ;c(
Here is one that is pretty popular. Im sure others will chime in with there favorites too.

I could swear I had done this in the past.... But I cant figure it out now.
You can try Ringo... it might do the trick...

If you dont want to hear it ring... I recommend SPB Phone Suite...
It has a blacklist feature to ignore calls.. ignore and never ring.
Also it has a great today plugin for showing your vmail, unread messages.. etc (I recommend turning off the big buttons though.. the default look is ugly IMHO)
And my favorite feature, you can set the phone to vibrate, or silent for a period of time (5 mins, 15mins, 30 mins.. etc) This is a life saver since I often need to silence my phone for meetings, and then a few hours later I realize... I have 20 missed calls because I never set it back.
### Edit ###
I just set SPB Phone suite to blacklist "Private" calls.
I then blocked caller ID and called from my home phone... Nothing.. no ring, no flash, the phone ignored it.
It did ring on the callers end the normal number of rings before going to vmail... I.E. it didn't go right to vmail like when you hit ignore.
Superb. SPB Phone Suite does exactly what I want with regards to calls from blocked numbers.
Thanks!

This site is very slick. Thank you for sharing it.
To test ignoring calls I added my desk phone number to the block list. I called it up, my phone woke up, but never rang and didn't give a notice of a missed call. My desk phone was greeted with the message I left it on youmail.com which happened to be the default smart greeting. Very very cool to have this feature without installing a thing on my phone.
I'm coming from the Captivate, and the only option I'm really missing on the Atrix is the call reject feature. I want to be able to automatically reject calls from certain numbers and unknown numbers, can't find the option there anywhere.
I know I can use the 'silent rington' trick, but that's not idea and doesn't work with unknown numbers.
Any thoughts?
Are you asking to blacklist certain numbers, dismiss a call like with volume down, or have all calls for a period of time go straight to voicemail?
Blacklist numbers, I found an app for it though that I'm gonna try
Reject with Text
I was wondering something similar. With the Captivate and many other phones I had, there was an option to "Reject with Text." This was a nice feature I used every now and then. It seems that it is missing on the Atrix, does anyone know of an app or something that can do something similar?
I would suggest using Google Voice, which is free and open to anyone now.
You give out your GVoice number, and set GVoice to forward to your cell phone. No one ever needs to know your cell number direct, and if you change it..you just change the setting in GVoice.
GVoice allows you to actually block individual numbers--and generate specific responses to them! And you won't pay for the call, which would use cellular airtime if it was just your cell phone blocking it.
When editing a contact ---- under "Additional info" -> "Call handing" you can select "send strait to voicemail" .... however Mr. Number block is great for this by automatically blocking known spam by sending straight to voice mail or my favorite the "answer and hangup" tactic
The best solutions as stating before is Google voice as you can play a "this number is disconnected" or "the number you are calling does not accept unknown/blocked numbers" voice mail greeting.
Contacts > [Select a contact] > Additional Info > "Send straight to voicemail" [Check box]
I downloaded an app that works for me. The Contact thing is fine for numbers that you know, but not for unknown caller numbers.
I've tried Google Voice and wanted to like it, but its not my cup of tea.
It looks like the reject call feature and list is missing on this ROM, but not a big deal since there are apps to handle it.

The reject call feature works perfectly...the reason they don't allow you to just block all unknown calls is because almost nobody would actually need that. What if your mother ends up being rushed to the hospital because of an accident and the police try calling your phone (the number she gives)? Police officers usually leave messages but what if he doesn't want to so he tries calling a few times and thinks your phone is off because it always goes directly to voicemail?
It's not that hard to just hit "Reject" when you get a phone call from an unknown number...

The police would not be calling from an 'Unknown' number, if the police are calling me I'd see a number displayed on the caller ID.
I've NEVER received a call from a number tagged as unknown or blocked that wasn't a telemarketer call.
The 'reject call' feature, as I've seen it implemented on MANY other Android phones in the settings menu, is MISSING on this phone. Its not that it doesn't work, its that it is missing (AFAIK anyway)
I agree that it is missing, I miss it too. I used it all the time for a few numbers that kept calling me and asking for random names. Seriously though the same number would call and each time ask for a different name. All i ever had to do before was enable auto reject and click "add to reject" when that number, or set of numbers called. Now I will have to add it to contacts and then reject it. Not a big deal, and good to know that I have an option.
soo in the end whats the name of the free program that can reject automatically the unknown callers? i need that 2.(the SGS+ had that feature and it was awsome, i really need it)
I want to know if there is an app or any other way to block all incoming calls on my HTC Desire V phone. (Rooted and stock ROM)
My requirement is to block only "Incoming" calls from a list of pre-selected numbers but I would like to allow everything other then incoming calls.
I am using my phone's default way to reject all calls, but any time someone calls they hear a small ring and then operator message saying
"The Number You Have Called Is Busy...", So the caller understands that I am rejecting the call and expects a call back.
If the message after rejecting a call is like "Switch Off" or something else I am fine.
If somebody can help with "Incoming Call Barring" that will be great, because I spoke with my operator regarding incoming calls barring password but I was told that it is phone feature so I needed to contact handset manufacturer for this and I got the same answer from HTC that it is a network feature so I need to contact service provider.
Please Help.

Try doing a quick search in google play like: Call blocker
You should find some apps, would do it myself now but i'm in a bit of a hurry
Tried such kind of call rejecting apps from play... They just simply reject the call after a small ring; hence operator message is heared by caller saying no. is busy...
Sent from my HTC Desire V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am getting a couple of calls a day from the same insurance scam operation, with the same robo call. Do not call list doesn't help, block doesn't help, they change numbers every day.
To combat this, I thought, what if there was an app that would:
• Allow all calls from address book to go through.
• Any number not in the address book doesn't ring, but gets auto-answered with a message "Press 1 to be connected" or similar.
That way, if it's a robo call, your phone never rings. If they press 1, they are human, your phone rings.
*bump*
App can't do that. You can do this only (if even possible) by calling your carrier. But I do recommend trying Truecaller. Truecaller is all-in-one app that allows you to block calls and messages from number. It can also detect if the number or SMS is fraudulent.
It's awesome, I use it as my main phone and SMS app.
I am looking for this application and I really believe something like this exists, I just can't find it! I know google forwarding could do something similar, but it doesn't work with every country. And since android can do all these functions, the application like this probably already exists!
Ok, let's say call forwarding is set on phone A to forward to phone B. When I get a call to phone A I would like it to track the call, I mean to show the notification or to simply save the information about the call. But the call is forwarded to phone B.
I think about this as application on probably rooted phone, which work like this:
(let's say it all happens on phone A, which must be turned on and have credit on it)
1. Incoming call -> Start calling to forwarded number (B) (will always show that the same number (A) is calling for B)
2. If B answers the call, the application:
- Connects A phone sound to be transfered to B phone, so B would hear what the caller is saying. And the B phone sound to transfer to A phone, so the caller would hear what the B phone is answering. You probably understand that this could be recorded too, but since it's illegal in some countries it isn't necessary.
- It also starts counting the time of the call
3. When the call is finished, the app:
- Stops counting the time
- Writes caller data, call date & time, call duration to file/database
That's it!
Then we can see how much calls did we get, when they were calling, how many of them were answered, who have called and how long they have been talking.
Please let me know if you know app like this. That's ok if it's for rooted phone. That would be really helpful to find!
I can't believe there's nothing like this???
