Why is it when you block a spam caller And they call back Your phone still rings?

when you block a spam caller.
And they call back.
Your phone still rings.
Blocking somebody in Google is a total joke..waste of time..when you block somebody.
They should be blocked.
Phone don't ring.
No notification whatsoever.

Does Google not know what they are doing.

I tend to really screw with unwanted callers.
Don't get many call backs...
Be creative and have some fun with them.
Remember when they call you it's game on...

How exactly are you blocking the spam caller? On my Pixel 3 XL using Google's own Phone app, it works well. If you have an S10, that's probably not Google's spam blocking you're using.

Also, are you certain the same spam number is calling back? Spammers often cycle through or spoof a bunch of numbers, so it may be the same spammer using a different number. No one has figured out how to reliably block robocallers who do this yet.

You know when they call.
And you hit block number.
They must have you on automatic redial.
Cause the start calling back from the number you just blocked.

I've had a pixel phone.
Didn't care for it.

Whether or not you cared for the Pixel is besides the point -- the call blocking method is what's important. Samsung's call blocking method is most likely different from Google's (because native call blocking is dependent on the phone app), causing the phone to ring at least once before the call is rejected. I found this thread about that: https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...eject-list-still-rings-when-they-call-me.html. Send feedback to Samsung about it.

It looks like Google's Phone app might become available on more and more non-Pixel phones, so if it becomes available on your S10, that might be worth trying: https://9to5google.com/2020/04/11/google-dialer-phone-app-android-phones/

Is that number on the list in phone app settings as blocked?

your post really does not make sense. block someone in google? are you talking about calls or email? or are you talking about two different things? or are you using google voice?

Both.
I got spam, at least a day.
Women want to meet me.
Don't know why at my age.

People wanting to sell me everything.

And calls.
Don't listen to them.
Know it has to be Medicare calls.
Ones I talked to..i told emni wasn't old enough for Medicare.
They just keep calling.
Total harassment.

 

[mustang7757]

Its a ongoing issue how to stop spam , maybe using DND (Do Not Disturb ) might be something to look into also

 

[cardboard60]

I know nothing about do not disturb.

 

[mustang7757]

Check it out in the notification panel long press it and it will open to options you can allow such as calls and notifications , you can customize it .

 

[debsawyer]

You are actually wasting your time blocking spam callers, because guess what, they use different numbers all the time. They may use the same number but it's not theirs because they spoofed it.

 

[Roosterman]

Have you thought of just not answering and instead dismiss the call? If it is someone you what to talk to, they should leave a message. Personally, if I don't recognize the number, I don't answer.
