I would like to block private numbers (i.e. calls that have hidden the caller's number and ID).
I see that there is a setting in the phone app that you can block "unknown" callers.
If I enable this setting will it block only the private (hidden) numbers or any number that is not included in my phone list...?
I just want to block hidden numbers, not any unknown number.
What does that setting do?

I found many threads about blocking anonymous callers by adding Anonymous in the phone field and something like that. I found out that adding -1 to the phone number detects the call as unknown but the phone rings too even if I send the call directly to my voicemail. You can see my post here http://androidforums.com/incredible...k-restricted-unknown-numbers.html#post3644419
Is there any way to do this without any app.
If you want to do it without any app then your dialer must support it. MIUI supports this by default.
I think my dialer does not supports it then.

Hello. On my GTI9001 I have CM11 with Android KitKat. There is an option in SMS settings - Block sms from unknown phone numbers (which is not in my phone address book).
I have set this option and sent test sms from another number. Yes. This sms was blocked. I've got message in my status bar.
BUT. There is no info - what number was blocked, what text of sms was there.
Is there a way to show full info about blocked sms?
P.S. Trying to check it out, I could not get second notification about other blocked sms. Is there a bug or something else?
Nobody can help?
Does anyone know how to turn on caller ID? When I call it shows up as private number. I can't find a setting anywhere
Open the telephone app/ 3 dot menue/ settings. In my case the option is directly under “mailbox“.
