Dear android friends,
I have checked few call blockers from Play Store, but have no success with them. I am looking for challenge-response call blocker. I want to get same functionality for mobile calls as for emails... If caller is not on black list... and also not on white list (address book)... he receive customizable sms message and have to reply with his name, purpose of the call, etc. then he appears on temporal white list and can be approved for black/white list after having conversation...
Is such app available in Play Store? Is it somewhere in development or nobody believes in challenge-response system anymore?
Thank you for your advice.
With best regards,

Try Tasker
Thanks! . this looks to be something definitely worth exploring.
Try "QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured" free app from android market
Use "QSMS to buddy" App from android market.
- This app allows you to send sms to missed/rejected calls.
- It also allows you to send a 'default' sms after user specified time period. e.g. you can specify to send a msg after 10 secs
- *** You send sms during "Outgoing" call reject as well
- *** You have ability to messages while sending the reject sms depending on the context. e.g. "I will call back in 10 mins" instead of "I will call back later"
There are other interesting features as well in this app. Watch demo at youtube with key word "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Root Call Blocker also includes a feature similar to what you're looking for
Why would you want to do th at? I just don't get it.
Some countries ban usage of mobile phones while driving, so instead of pissing about with your phone while driving, you can block the call and tell them why without having to touch the phone. Could be used in meetings, school/college too. there are so many uses
Thanks for all the replies. Another classic example is you are in a middle of a meeting/conference and u get an important call (from ur better half ;-) ? ) . You may not be in a position to take the call - easier if u get an option to send predefined sms - when u reject the call - with the flexibility of not having SMS being sent out whenever u reject a call.
Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
Hello Guys,
Quite a while ago I used a Symbian app as an answerphone on my Nokia N96. I believe it was called Advanced Call Manager.
The question is: Are there any apps out there that will allow me to use my Samsung Galaxy SII to answer incoming calls and record messages.
These were the features of ACM for the N95:
More efficient call-handling options you can assign to different contacts
ACM gives you five more ways to subtly escape calls without having to hang up:
Busy tone – send a busy tone to callers. Avoid acting rude by hanging up.
Busy tone and SMS – add a personal touch to sending a busy tone: inform your callers with pre-assigned SMS replies.
Mute the ringer – let the calls through with a muted ringer. More discrete, and keeps you undisturbed.
Divert calls – forward incoming calls when you are unavailable.
Play a personal greeting (Nokia devices only) – set your own answering machine and record the caller’s message straight onto your phone, avoiding having to call your operator to check voice messages.
Handle groups of contacts by creating lists
The easiest way to handle your calls is to divide callers into lists such as “Friends,” “Family,” “Work” and assign blocking rules for each. ACM gives you several handy list options:
Work with blacklists and whitelists – block or allow calls from people included in a list.
Import contacts from your phonebook – simplified list creation.
Individual settings allowed – personalize how ACM handles an individual caller included in a list (for example, send a specific SMS auto-reply to your mother while the default blocking action for list “Family” is to send busy tone).

The closest thing I have come across is Hullomail but this has to have all calls forwarded to there answer service. I'd prefer to simply handle all calls on my SGS2
Cheers.
This is the exact same app for android

Yes I've seen that one, but... It does not record or answer incoming calls on the Android platform.
Does anyone have experience of any apps along these lines?
Hi Guys,
I get a lot of unwanted calls. Is there any call blocker app available for the windows mobile 7.5? Something like iblacklist for IOS and root call blocker for android?
Thanks.
WP has more control than iphone. Unless carrier offer phone user an app to block call, there is no developer can introduce an app to filter any incoming call.
Look at this, it's free.

They support Windows Phone (app is available in Marketplace) and part of it is "No more unwanted calls". Maybe it will do what you need.

The only thing it does is creating a contact named 'Blacklist' which contains unwanted numbers, so you know when to not answer the phone.
Is it possible that during the call a greeting message is played to the caller like: "Welcome, Please wait while the call is picked" ? Is there any Android app that can do this functionality? How do I search for this feature on Android? Is there any name for this feature of playing a greeting message to caller?
First of all, you can not do this without picking up the call from your phone.. If you want this feature, then check whether your operator provides any hello tune or similar services like this..
I am currently using an awesome SMS/Call blocking app called aFirewall Blocker. It seems that the developer (I think it was Thomas Tong @thl16888) has discontinued the app and it has been removed from the Play store. It's unfortunate, as the app is now causing issues in Android Pie and I would have loved an update.
I am looking for a replacement app that can block texts and calls and put them, without notification, into an archive section that can be restored later. Being able to setup the blacklists with google's contact groups would be great. I know on my Samsung Note 8 the default "Messages" app has a feature like this but it does not allow scheduling. I need it to be able to perform the blocking on a set of schedules. Such as nights and weekends.
For example, I have set up aFirewall to block all my work contracts (as defined by the google contacts "work" group that I set up) on nights, weekends and optionally another schedule for vacations. All texts and calls from work people go unannounced and are "archived" or hidden until I decide to open pandoras box when I am ready. I can then read the texts and see who called and un-archive the texts back into my main text message conversations. The app even had the ability to send an auto-reply, which was great for vacations.
The point of the app is to keep my sanity and avoid having to stress out when I see people constantly and rudely trying to bother me at all hours of the night and weekends.
Anyone know of a good replacement? Even if it is a side loaded, and not officially accepted by google, app?
