Always carrying your mobile phone with you has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand we are always reachable and we have constant Internet access. But, on the other hand, they can also bother us at all hours with calls that are of no interest to us. We have all received the typical calls to change operators or to sell us something. That is why we wanted to make a small tutorial in which we will see how to block calls from numbers we do not know on our Android mobileLet's start!
Using Android Options
Most manufacturers of Android phones usually include some kind of option to block calls. We just have to look for it on our mobile. We may simply get the option to “Block number” or we may have to create a “Black list”.
For example, in the mobile we used to make the article, an Alcatel A5 LED, we have the option in the Phone application At the top we have three vertical points. If we press them we see the option “Block number”. When entering, a new window appears in which we can add the numbers we want to block.
And that's it. It's that easy we can create the list of numbers we want to block. If we want to delete a number, we simply have to enter this option again and delete it.
Using an application
If we have a very old version of Android or the manufacturer of our smartphone has not added this option, we can install an application to block calls. One of the best known and best rated in the Play Store is Call Blocking. It is a free application, very easy to use and with a well-worked graphic aspect
With "Call blocking" we can go one step further. In addition to creating a black list of numbers, we can also block private numbers, unknown numbers and even all callsThe application even allows us to create a White List, that is, numbers that can never be blocked. Very useful in case we inadvertently activate the blocking of all calls.
We can even keep track of the calls that have been blocked, since the application keeps a record. Also will allow us to block calls with a specific prefix.
In short, a very simple application but with many possibilities. If you want to have complete control of the calls that come in, be sure to try one of these two options.
