What is the Best Call Blocker?

Best Call Blocker

I have a HTC One M7 and I am looking for a good app that blocks private numbers. Why HTC did not just build this feature in to the handset I don't know.

Currently I use the feature built into Avast Mobile Security for blocking private numbers and it does so fine, but the problem is i still get a notification of a missed call from a private number.

I am looking for an app that will block the private caller, and not show any notifications. Please note, my handset is not rooted and I have no intention of doing so.

Thanks.

Re: Best Call Blocker

The phone can't block the call without receiving it, so it'll show in the log. In effect, it is a missed call - it's like the caller hung up between the first and second rings (which is when the caller ID is sent). The only way to blobk unknown callers (blank caller ID) is to contact your carrier (assuming you're not using a virtual network operator like Straight Talk) and ask them to put a block on unidentified calls on your number. Then they receive the call and block it, and never send it to you.
