Anyway to block phone numbers?

[anon(9268751)]

Is there a way to block unwanted callers on the moto x ? I used to use Mr Number but the hangup feature doesn't work on this phone. Ant advice would be appreciated.

Add the number to your contact list. Open the contact. Then open overflow menu and add to auto reject list. I use one contact called SPAM and add all these numbers in one place.

Try Call Control

Add the number to your contact list. Open the contact. Then open overflow menu and add to auto reject list. I use one contact called SPAM and add all these numbers in one place.

I used this method and created a single contact and called it Blocked Callers. You can add multiple phone numbers to a single contact. Works well. As unwanted calls come in, just select and add to contact and select the Blocked Callers contract.

Not sure where the "overflow" menu and the auto "reject" list is located. Could you give me a step by step? Thanks.

I don't have all those options on the dropdown. All I have is delete, share and place on home screen.

Just to be sure, you're using the Moto X Pure Edition on Android 5.1? Auto reject must not be an option on stock OS.

Yes that's correct 2015 3rd gen moto x pure edition Android 5.1.1

Yes I just found that one. Giving it a try.

I use Contacts+ and it works well. The other advantage is that the messaging app built into Contacts+ is also much nicer than the stock messaging app on the Moto X Pure.

Apparently Marshmallow does not have this feature. It was really convenient. Deleting it from MM seems an over sight IMO. guess I'll go third party then.

I really wish this was included in MM. Kinda sucks that it's not.

Yeah me too but I find the trucaller app quite helpful.

Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow you to dismiss a call and have the caller hear a message similar saying that this number is no longer active? Or something similar?

I just downloaded Truecaller based on the comments here. I'll give a shot.

I've heard that Truecaller hijacks your phonebook to populate their caller id service. I don't know for sure. You may want to check on this.

You could also flash Google Dialer 2.1 with CID and Google Contacts 1.1; then delete or freeze the basic dialer/contacts that comes w/ the moto x.

I can't post URL's, but go to xda-developers --> Moto X Style (Pure) --> X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps

Then find this thread: [ZIP] [Marshmallow] Google Dialer 2.32 + Google Contacts 1.3 (12/4)

Once you have those installed you can just long-press a number in the dialer app and the option to "Block Number" is available.

I had same complication only those 3 options, you have to go into edit the contact and than click the drop down menu and in that one it will give you the automatically to voicemail option...
