How To Block a Phone Number on Android

block-calls-android-number

We all have a good reason for trying to block a number. Whether it's an ex a little too sticky, a heavy telemarketer or spam, knowing how to block certain calls or blacklist contacts can sometimes be very useful!

Unwanted calls are part of the daily nuisance of modern times, they may be commercial calls or personal calls . Fortunately, wherever they come from (call centers, polling institutes, etc.), it is possible to block them.

There are three options for rejecting calls from individuals. You can contact your phone operator, block numbers through your smartphone settings, or use an app.

How Does it Work

Some smartphones offer the "Send Back to Email" option, you won't receive a call from the contact, but the contact will still be able to text you and you'll still be notified of a missed call: the number can leave you a voice message.

If you want to completely block calls and text messages from a contact, then it is necessary to add their number to the blacklist. Here we offer a guide to help you easily find this option on your smartphone, but be aware that mobile operators often also offer this option.

Note that while the explanations are different depending on the interfaces of different brands, the procedures to follow are actually very similar according to the manufacturers. We used a Google Pixel, a Samsung Galaxy and a Huawei smartphone to cover as many cases as possible.

How do I block a number on Android?  

All Android devices have almost same settings, but not necessarily the same form. Here, we'll show you how to block calls on different smartphones: Samsung, LG and HTC.
If you have a mobile phone from another brand, don't worry, the principle remains the same.

Use Apps to Block Unwanted Calls

Some older smartphones do not offer the ability to block a phone number. To remedy this problem, you can download an app that rejects unwanted calls like Truecaller or Mr Number, or use an antivirus like Avast.

Add your number to the National Do Not Call Registry

If you find yourself receiving calls from lots of unknown numbers, it may be time to add your number to the Federal Trade Commission’s National Do Not Call Registry. To add your number, simply head to DoNotCall.gov and register. You can add up to three numbers at a time, but you’ll need to add an email address to confirm your registration.

While the FTC will typically add your number within 24 hours, it may take up to a month for telemarketers to stop calling. If you continue to receive unwanted calls after 31 days, you can file a complaint with the FTC.
