Best FREE call and SMS blocker? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Lets forget from this point forward about Root Call Blocker Pro. Has problems with my device and it is not free.
So besides this, what is the best FREE call and SMS blocker?
Thank you

You may use CALLS BLACKLIST. It can block only calls.
It is by Vlad Lee.

any new free app available offering forwarding calls?

Call master hands down is the best. Not actually free, it'll nag to buy pro key after 3 days but the app will still continue to work with all feature still working. Very generous of the dev.

How to block call and sms

please help me how to block unwanted call and sms with windows mobile 6.. or have any free software for it...
Not sure of your setup since you don't provide any signature device info. But, the TNT Rom has an application to block calls called "Call Firewall". I don't know if there is a cab for it. You can do some searches or PM & ask the owner of TNT.

[App] Root Call Blocker needs SE testers

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
[url=http://www.phyrefile.com/image/view/dCjjYQHAuLydXnmg]
[/URL]
The app's home is here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
We have had multiple reports that blocking is not working sometimes on SE phones, so we need some nice people to do some testing.
You can use the Groups function of the Lite version to do the testing - it gives you almost everything youd want from the app anyway.
Please post comments here, but also use the "Write to us" dialog in settings.
I use the pro version of your app on the xperia play. 99% of the time it works. But some times blocked callers still get through, even if i set it to check all 11 digits.

Next time a call does go through, please send a log. Also, does this happen in particular situations?
Have you had a chance to have a look at it?
It seems to be random. Although if someone rings and rings (like the angry girlfriend) some of the calls get through. I would send a log, but as sods law says. It hasnt happend since i made my last post

Hello I am a Spanish user and it is me first post in this Forum (excuse me english :S)
I am a proud owner of SE Xperia Arc and i buy your app from market few days ago.
For me all it´s fine for the moment but i test it this weekend and post the results in this forum.
This is a brilliant app!
Please stick to the topic - we are looking for concrete feedback!

For me, it works properly on the Xperia X10 running stock GB 2.3.
I wrote a post about it in your other thread!
Thanks you. It seems weve ironed out the SE problems we were having...
Hello, in about 10 days of testing Root Call Blocker PRO with me Arc, everything it´s ok. All the phone calls were blocked, if i detect any problem i post it here.
My Arc is running a Global Generic 2.3.3 with default kernel and compilation number 3.0.1.A.0.145.
P.D.: Sry for me english...
Excellent! I wonder if you would also test my app Prepay Widget? Its in My signature and also has some problems with SE stock roms!
No problem so farI bo
I bought it a month ago and no problem observed so far.
Excellent app!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well

I am using an X10 (but it's on stock 2.3.3, which is a very similar ROM to the Arc's)
and my experience is:
1. I have call waiting enabled on my network, so normally when someone calls while I am on the phone,
I get a beep and a notification on the screen allowing me to switch calls etc.
With RCB, when a blocked number calls while I am on a call,
I get no notification at all and the caller just hears the busy-tone (no call waiting).
2. Same as above. No notification, no vibration, nothing!
Excellent! But is your rom stock or cm-based?

You need confirmation for non-stock ROMs on SE devices?
I can flash CM7 or MiUI and do some testing for you.

[Q] Is there a app can block calls like this...

hi guys,
i'm looking for an call blocker (i know there a maaaaannyyy of them). I already installed many of them and tried them, but no one does it, how i want to.
i'm sick of getting anonymous calls - so therefore i just want to block the anonymous calls.
important is the blocking procedure:
i don't want to just hang up the phone - because some people don't understand this. i also want to let the phone ring, when i can see a phone number - it doesn't matter, if i know the no. or not
i want to let them now, that they're been blocked, because of calling anonymous!
this could be designed in 2 ways:
1) forwarding anonymous numbers to the mailbox, so i can speak any text on the mailbox, that they're blocked cause of...
2) an app gets the call from anonymous and speaks: "you've been blocked because of..." and ends the call after speaking finished.
i'd prefer the second way, so i could also use my mailbox when my phone is turned off.
i hope u understand everything i tried to explain.
feel free to ask ;-)
regards

app called Mr. Number is free in the market. It can send calls like that to voicemail.

First make group, which group U like to send to voice mail, and whom you just want to block without voice mail
Now from your device go to - call setting - forward your call to voice mail 'when Busy' mode
Use Root call blocker
define setting, and select method of block 'reject' for one, whom U want to send to voice mail
for rest of u may select alt reject/ slow reject as per ur selection n performance on ur device.
e.g for annonymous call U can send to voice mail, b'coz no method can send SMS to private numbers
For rest you can select to auto responce with SMS
Use YouMail. They have an app in the market too.
thank you, i'll have a look for you mail...i just see that i can't download this in germany...may i'm gonna looking for an apk =)
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.

Call Recording

Just to confirm call recording works amazing as standard. I use callrecorder by skvalex and device is other, use standard android api and choose voice up link and downlink. Im getting really amazing call recording. No mods needed other than root of course. Im on an international version. Hope this helps someone.

There is no replacing this app. It can do ANYTHING you would ever need in a call recorder. To name some features:
I have my family in a "family group" in my contacts. Same with friends in "friends". You can go to exceptions and tell it to "never record x-group" and "always record" another group. It also has a manual over ride button so that you can start recording even if the person calling is in the "never record" group. So my recorder is setup so it automatically records everyone that is not in my "never record" group.
I love that app. Worth every penny IMHO.
I agree, it's worth every penny. Saved my ass once.

Yupp. It has saved me about $1.000 to date. What happens most of the time is we agree upon a price and they tell me another price when the work is done or when the product shows up. I tell them "no we agreed on $xxxx dollars.", they disagree, I show them the recorded call and they back down. Without this app it would be "I said, you said" and it would be a PITA to settle on something. It's such a nice app! Dollars, frustration and time saved! I would donate even more, but considering I gave the dev a tons of idea: exception list, movable recording button, "hide pause button if recording has started option" etc, that he incorporated to make the app it is today I feel I have done my part
Thank you. This is very good news indeed! I hope so will be in future)

Can you point me in the right direction on how to get their software? I am willing to pay för a solution that lets me record calls regardless if I am on blutooth, cabled headset, normal or speakerohone, preferably channel divided. Sound format doesn't matter as long as there somewhere is a converter for it.
My phone is rooted, native API seams to work on handset with or without speakerphone active, however not with headset. My phone is rooted.
I tried every single setting from the "Standard Android API preferences, but it did not work with bluetooth headset (Sony Smart Wireless). Only the incoming voice is being recorded.
Though I only use the note with bluetooth the app is useless for me.

I've used record my call app which is free.
just set the recording mode to Phone instead of microphone.
I can even choose what numbers to record such as unknown numbers and groups. it's been great.

That's what I use now, but no matter what the setting, it either records only my voice or the other person. Not both. I've tried this two different bluetooth headsets without luck: Motorola hx550 and jawbone icon.

[Q] Texting App (no phone)

Hey yall!
I bought my Mom a TF201 for Christmas. She doesn't have a cell phone, but would like to take advantage of a texting app, so that she can text my sister and I, like apps that are available for iPod Touch or the iPad. Is there an Android app that will set her up with a phone number to send and receive texts from? I've tried TextPlus and TxtMe but both are designed to sync up with an android phone, which is of course practical, but not something she has. We live in Canada, so sadly, Google Voice is not an option, which breaks my heart, I love Google Services, and wish we had access to GVoice here.
If anyone can offer me some suggestions, that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
*cheers*

Here are some alternatives to SMS:

Personally, I've only tested Kik and it works very well.

I use Viber on it, and if you have a rooted one you can use whatsapp.
