I am running MIUI Global 11.0.7, using default dialer (com.google.android.dialer) and i cannot block unknown callers, i can only block numbers that i know. I attached a screenshot with the Block Numbers activity/fragment. Am i missing something? hidden option somewhere ?
You cannot block "unknown numbers" in miui. Try using truecaller for a spam free experience.

does anyone know of a program to block numbers from calling, i have call firewall but but i cant just block one number, and thats what i wanna do
I thought on CallFirewall you just selected 'Black List' and added the number you wanted to reject to it?
Works for me!
SPB Phonesuite allows call blocking using either a blacklist or whitelist. It also has a ton of additional features.
Spb Phone Suite has one bug in the handling of a whitelist. I have to add all phone numbers twice, with and without country code, to make it work. We don't use area codes here in Oman. Maybe this is causing problems for the program?
try magicall works perfect you can also block incomming sms or autoreply with an sms to someone you blocked.
you can block individual numbers but also you can block all incomming calls when you are in a meeting or going on a plane...
can be found at ppcwarez

IMO magicall outbeats them all.
aFirewall in Market now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aFirewall allows you to configure multi-scenes to block different call or SMS at different time. Its features are as below:
1. You can add black number from call log, SMS log, contacts or add it mannually;
2. You can setup aFirewall password to protect your private black list;
3. Unread blocked call log and SMS log notification;
4. Option to disable and enable aFirewall blocking notification;
I had made it free in market today. I am looking forward to your comments Thank you very much.
(Not installed yet since I have Panda Firewall installed)
Does it come with a toggle widget for SMS blockage?

There is no toggle widget in current version. This is a start for aFirewall. Many features will be added in in the near future.
Can I ask a question about this....
Does the call blocking feature block the call completely? I tried Panda but found that blocked calls would ring briefly but then go to voicemail, so I would still get notifications of missed calls. You can already block numbers with the Hero (send to voicemail in contact settings) so I found it pointless.
Does this app block calls to the point that you don't know if a blocked number has called unless you look at the log? This sort of thing is what I'm looking for.
Thanks.
Edit: Double post

Thanks for your attention. No ring and notifications of missed calls will be reported out in aFirewall. You can contact me to get a copy to make a try at first. My email is [email protected].

I have some comments:
1. It still make the notification on screen after the call (even disable notification) but did not show in the call history
2. When I block sms as "Accept contact only", it blocked all SMS from my contact people. For example, number in contact is 0902239000 and contact in SMS is +84902239000 (always show that) actually is the same but the program did not know.
3. When I block sms as "Block unknown number" then sometimes it can block the number not in the contact, sometimes could not.
4. When I block the call as "Accept contact only", it block all call from my contact
is there such a app? i know many can block specific numbers but i doubt any of them have the option to block by area code. let me know. thanks!
Running gingerbread, which has an option built in to do call blocking and an option within that to block "unknown" callers.
Now, to my way of thinking there are THREE sorts of incoming callers;
1/ 123456 Fred, already in my contact list, he is calling to say Hi
2/ 234567 Jim, not in my contact list, he is calling to buy my car
3/ ??????? Tom, his number is hidden, either because he has chosen to hide it, or because he is calling from an office behind a pbx that hides numbers by default, he is calling to upsell my car insurance
Now, I want to block #3, but not #1 or #2, and yet to me I would classify #2 as "unknown", so using the built in or third party call blockers will block Jim, which I do NOT want to do...
I ONLY want to block people with withheld or hidden numbers
I DO NOT want to block people who do not have withheld or hidden numbers, even if I do not yet know them or their number.
So can anyone clarify the definitions, as far as Android and various apps are concerned?
TIA
call blocking unknown numbers will block calls from people that withold there number, the calls that you get but when you check the number it says 'Unknown' so i think it will do what you want it to do.
Press thanks if i helped you
Hi would like to know the following. The block number feature on the HTC One does that only block calls? Or does it block texts from that number as well?
