Is it possible to block numbers with Google Phone app or will I need a separate app for this?
If I do, any recommendations?
Thanks

Yes. Three-dot-menu -> Settings -> Blocked Numbers. You can also block a number directly from the call history.

look for afirewall in market.
So my question is when I go into the Hangouts app theres a contact in the "Frequently Contacted" but I have no idea who it is. I just want to remove it from my list but cant figure out how. I already cleared the data but its still there.
This is driving me nuts as well. I miss good old Google talk. Google seems to be getting way too "iphoney" lately.
+1, it seems that the only way to remove from the list is by blocking the person and then refreshing (sign out, sign in ) other than that I cannot find a way to remove
absolutely terrible
they need to fix this asap

Open gmail on your computer, then click on the person you like to block, then once the chat window opens click on settings (right top corner), then select block person and save.
No, blocking is not acceptable. I want to remove the "frequently contacted" list all together on my hangouts app in my phone.
I'm in total agreement, I want to be rid of the "Frequently Contacted" in my gmail, or at least be able deselect or hide it. Anyone have an idea?
I want this feature REMOVED
...and with whitelist support for those numbers.
I`am using Call Control now. This app can block non-numerical numbers. But no whitelist support.
What for this stuff, you ask?
Answer: information from cellular providers and from banks comes from such numbers. But they trapped in spam and you have always to look blocked log. It is very annoying.
You thoughts about this problem...any suggestions?

GoSMS can block non-numeric senders with each select.
(So I dont want to use gosms, i'm searching a generic solution for firmware's sms client.)
This is a separate download from the app store. Unsure why they didn't bundle it into the Lollipop firmware. I quite like it as it allows me to block SMS from Contacts. This is a very long awaited feature for me.
Anyone else tried it out?
Do you mean the new text message app that came out when 5.0 came out? I used that new app on my Nexus 5 and liked it, I also installed it on my Moto X and use that for text messages.
It's not bundled because Motorola built their image from AOSP. The new messenger is a google app. It will only come bundled with nexus devices.
There are many new settings in the new messenger app, I am confused about them.
For example 'Wireless Alert'. Does anyone have any idea what exactly is that and how its useful?
Also there is a option to insert 'My Phone Number'. What is that? Does it mean if I don't insert my phone no., my message will be received as an unknown sender?

I haven't been able to find the setting for it It was easy on my Note 4. I use CM Security and it has it built in so that works pretty well.
Unfortunately it's not built in like on some other devices. I do the same thing I did on the Nexus 6, which is create a contact called SPAM. Then in Contacts, you go to that contact's settings and there's an option for Send Calls to Voicemail, check that box. Then as unwanted calls come in, you just long-press them and add to that SPAM contact. Mine has a couple hundred numbers so far, and this works really well.
On tmobile I just click phone app and hit the menu at the upper right for settings. Reject call list. Hope this helps.
I guess it's different on the Verizon version because I don't see that option
Block the number from your account on verizon's website.
A basic feature that every phone should have. Once again VZW deletes a useful feature (see LG G4), Why???!!!
Why would they keep that feature on a device when they can charge you $5 a month for Family Base?

I was searching for the same problem and here is what I found:
"Find out how to block unwanted calls and messages. You can block up to 5 phone numbers for each line on your account with no charge with My Verizon".
Also:
"Permanently block up to 20 contacts for a low monthly fee. You'll also be able to monitor and limit minute, text and data usage for up to 10 devices on your account"
Cost: $5/month"
I saw some non-verizon apps for blocking phonecalls. Anyone tried it?
Thanks,

There is an option that you can send all calls to VM so I would say to create one contact and just keep adding the number you want blocked and select to send that contact's number to VM.

It sucks that Verizon eliminated the Block Caller from this phone!
I like the idea to make a Spam Contact and force it into V.M. every time - although I do get some telemarketing terrorists who will leave a message ... then I'm stuck going through them to eliminate the good V.M.'s from the bad.
I also use an App called TrueCaller. It's not perfect, but it's mostly effective. Carefully select the options you want and block any calls you like. I've allowed them to block calls their database has found to be spam/scam and it works quite well. At the end of a week, I'll surf through the calls they've blocked that I never saw hit my phone and it's impressive.
Hope this helps.
You can create a contact then add the numbers that you want to block then use the 3 dots on the right and select send to VM.

I used Sync.me from the appstore. Not only does it sync your contacts, but you can also enable SPAM blocking and it has some pretty advanced caller ID as well. I have a HTC M9, but would think it works on the LG V10.
I use Reverse Lookup +, I've used it for years for this.
I used QuickShortcutMaker (on play store). Start the app then search for call reject. Create a shortcut. Done. Calls go to Voicemail. Doubt it blocks sms though.

Found out that the call blocking is still in the phone, just hidden.
To get to it Nova Launcher has to be installed:
1. Long Press on home screen
2. Select Widgets
3. Activities widget and drag to home screen
4. Scroll down to Call Services and click to drop down menu
5. Select Call Reject Mode (.CallRejectActivity)
And there you go, you have access to the call reject list!

The apps worked great -- until Verizon removed the settings from the V10. The apps were just "front ends" for those settings on the phone plus they added a bit more functionality.
The apps no longer work without the blocking settings VZ removed.
