Call reject

[BEARD GANG]

I want to reject some calls from certain numbers.. The s3 has a call reject feature however when the blocked number calls it rings once then blocks it.. Does anyone know how to make it not ring at all on their end or maybe a good tested app that allows you to fully reject a call

Google voice is great for that. I give everyone my Google number. I have an entry in my phone that is called "block numbers", I put all my rejected numbers there. When they call, they hear the "this is no longer a working number" message and it hangs up, never rings on my end either plus blocks text.

Let me add it only works if you sync your contacts with Google.

I'd recommend an App named "Call Control"--> https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...spect.android.everycallcontrol&token=yegUvrCT

Anyone have a work around for reaching the 100 rejected calls limit? I get a lot of Spam/Telemarketers and I add them to my contacts and then choose to reject them. Problem is, there is apparently a 100 limit on the number of rejects allowed. Not sure if this is a Samsung, S3, or Android 4.04 limit. Here's the message I get:

"Maximum number of auto reject
numbers (100) reached. Delete
some items in Call settings"

I have several contacts created: "Telemarketer1" "Telemarketer2" .... "Telemarketer22" each with about a dozen numbers. Apparently, when I create a reject, it does not reject by Contact, but by each number within the contact. Hence, my 100 limit reached pretty fast.

I'm currently looking into a "blacklist" or "call block" app from a 3rd party.

I've used Root Call Blocker Pro and it has worked really well. Unfortunately, it requires you to be rooted, as well as costing a few bucks. I think it's like $6-$7, but it worked well for me and it's touted as the best one there is.

Try adding to cell number to the National Do Not Call Registry.

For one that works on JB & doesn't require root, I recommend "Extreme Call Blocker"--> https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s?id=com.greythinker.punchback&token=muRnr2Bg
