How to blacklist a number. How to set up a blacklist on Android? When is the function of barring incoming calls from hidden numbers useful?

Today you will learn how add a phone number to the blacklist on Android to get rid of unwanted calls forever. After all, every owner of a smartphone running this OS has probably encountered a situation when there is a need to block a subscriber. These could be representatives of organizations trying to “impose” unnecessary services, annoying social surveys, or simply too intrusive people with whom you have no desire to communicate.

Built-in blacklist on Android

The incoming call blocking feature became available only after Android updates up to version 4.2. Now, after adding a contact to the blacklist, you won’t even know that he called you. The system will automatically drop calls and reject SMS, and when trying to call you, the subscriber will receive a notification that the line is busy. Please note that you can still listen to a voice message from this person.

You can manage an emergency on Android using various methods. Let's look at the fastest and most effective options for adding a number to the blacklist. Where is the built-in blacklist located? If you want to block a person from your contacts list, do the following:

• Open the "Contacts" section.
• Find the person you want to place in emergency situations.
• Click on the edit contact button.
• Select the "Add to Blacklist" option.

Standard blacklist on Android

The easiest way to block a subscriber is through incoming calls. To do this:

• Open the “Calls” section (depending on the smartphone model, it is sometimes called “Phone”).
• Find the number you want to include in the emergency and click on it.
• In the window that appears, select the “Add to blacklist” function.

Now the subscriber will not be able to reach you. Unblocking a contact is just as easy—just click on it and select “Remove from blacklist.”

Blacklist management on Android

Android smartphone users can not only block incoming calls, but also view them. How to find these functions? To do this you need:

• In the Calls or Phone section, go to the call settings menu. This can be done using hot keys on the device display or by long pressing the “Options” button.
• Find the "Call Reject" option. The name may differ in some models and versions of Android.
• In the section that opens, select “Black List”. Here you can see all the numbers that have ever been blocked and you can add new contacts by clicking “Create”.

Creating a contact to blacklist

To unblock a contact, simply uncheck the box next to the desired number phone.

On this page we will try to briefly explain what a blacklist is on a phone and how to add a number to the blacklist on Nokia. And so let’s figure out why we need a black list on the phone, and we need it so that we can enter a phone number into it that we don’t want to answer. It happens that sometimes we don’t want to answer some calls on the phone, for example, you gave someone your number, and then you wouldn’t want him to call you. But what should you do in this case, don’t constantly change your number because of one or two people you don’t want to communicate with, that’s why they came up with the blacklist function on your phone. Thanks to this useful function You can add unnecessary numbers to this list, because sometimes you come across idiots who randomly call different numbers or can torment you with their calls, and we also add such numbers to the black list.

Previously, I myself simply did not pay attention to the black list on my phone, and then one day I noticed that when there was an incoming call on my Nokia from the same number there was no sound or vibration, and this happened every time. At the beginning I didn’t pay much attention, but then I thought about it and decided that there was no sound due to some settings and looked at the melody settings on the contact and it turned out that there was a default melody for this number. Then I looked and General settings signals and everything is fine there too, but there is no sound on the phone when incoming call There is no one from this number. Then I decided to find out what was the reason that there was no sound signal from one number and found out that the number was blacklisted by the phone, of course, I probably did it by accident or the children got lost and added the number to the blacklist and I decided to briefly talk about it write, maybe someone will find it useful.

Now let's see how to blacklist a number on Nokia or how to remove a number from the blacklist on your phone. There are several ways to add a contact to the blacklist on Nokia 108 and similar phones:

1) Open “Contacts”, look for the desired “Contact”, click “Information” and select “Number”, then “Functions” and “Add to filter list”, ready. The number has now been added to the phone's blacklist.

3) On some Nokias, the blacklist setting function is located in the following path and is slightly different from the above methods. Go to “Settings”, then “Protection” and then “Allowed numbers”, by default “All”, you can add allowed numbers to which you want to respond, all the others that are not in the list will be on the black list, you may need to enter Pin2.

My phone model does not have such capabilities. In addition, by setting up only selected numbers, you will not be able to advertise anywhere, because... they will call from different numbers.

A blacklist on your phone is great!

If someone calls you on your phone very often, you can stop answering the call, turn off the sound, but the call will still interfere. You can solve the problem using the “Black List” function built into smartphones. This way the contact will be blocked and the person will not be able to reach you.

What is the “Black List” and what is it used for?

“Blacklist” is an additional feature that all modern phones are equipped with. With the help of the “Black List”, owners of smartphones based on operating system Android can protect themselves from calls from hooligans and unpleasant people with whom they try not to communicate, block calls from various advertising agencies, and their mailings.

You can block a contact through your operator cellular communications. Unlike blocking via phone, the function is paid, but it provides more options. For example, except for incoming calls, you will not receive notifications about calls from the specified subscriber or his messages.

Adding a contact to the blacklist using the built-in function does not provide such opportunities, but it is completely free. In this case, calls from the selected subscriber will be blocked, but the system will automatically send you a notification about this call, and all messages sent by the subscriber will also be received.

How to add a contact/phone number to the Black List on Android

In different versions mobile devices On the Android operating system, the method of adding a contact to the blacklist is slightly different. The main differences in settings exist between versions of Android below 4.0 and, accordingly, new versions above 4.0.

Adding to the “Black List” on Android below 4.0

On Android versions below 4.0, the subscriber number you want to block must be in the contact list on your phone. In older versions of the operating system, you will first have to activate the “Black List” function and only then add a contact:

1. Go to the “Settings” menu.
2. Open the “Calls” option and find the “Call Rejection” item.
3. Click on “Black List” and turn it on using the button of the same name.

Open the contact list. Hold your finger until the context menu appears on the screen. In the list there will be an option “Add to blacklist”, which is what we need. We indicate the subscriber whom we no longer want to hear.

In order to return everything to its place, again go to the “Black List” menu through “Settings” and uncheck the box that was checked earlier.

Adding to the “Black List” on Android above 4.0

Adding a number to the blacklist on smartphones with Android above 4.0 will be slightly different:

1. Open the list of contacts and calls.
2. Select the number you want to block. In the upper right corner of the contact there is a settings menu, depicted as three bold dots located horizontally. After clicking, a list will be displayed.
3. There may be two variants of the same option: “Block incoming call” or “Voicemail only” (varies depending on the OS version). In both cases, we need to check the box next to the inscription, after which the contact will be automatically blocked.

To return everything back, just uncheck the “Blocking incoming call” (“Voice mail only”) option.

Please note that in all cases, after blocking a subscriber, you will no longer receive calls from him. However, every time after a call from a blocked subscriber, you will receive an SMS notification about the time and date of the call, and the subscriber will also be able to independently send messages to your smartphone. If you are regularly bothered unknown number, for example, an advertising agency, then add him to your contacts and blacklist, then he will not be able to get through.

Setting up the "Black List"

You can return a contact to the white list different ways. Most often, it is enough to do the same procedure as when adding, you just need to uncheck the box next to the “Enable black list” item (the wording will differ depending on the different models telephones). Unfortunately, standard smartphone tools do not allow you to change other parameters, for example, specify a specific date when you cannot be reached, but this can be done using additional programs.

Additional blocking programs

With the software, everything is a little simpler, and all owners of Android smartphones can use it, and it doesn’t matter what version of the phone you have. IN Play Market Find an application called Blacklist. Key Feature application is that it allows you to block not only calls from subscribers, but also SMS messages.

To do this you will need to make the following settings:

The application allows you to block even non-numeric numbers, which will be useful in cases where you are bothered advertising companies. You can always view the history of blocked calls and messages in the “History” tab and even read the contents of SMS. You can unblock a subscriber by highlighting the number and clicking on the bucket image located in the upper right corner.

Another unique method also allows you to block incoming calls and messages from subscribers. Download Avast!Mobile Security antivirus from the app store (not all antiviruses have the ability to add contacts to the blacklist).

Whatever method you use, each blocked subscriber will hear that the number is busy. The messages he sends will not appear on the screen, but you can still view them.

Advanced functionality for setting up a blacklist is available only in additional software. With their help, you can not only block the calls themselves, but also incoming messages, view their contents, the date of receipt, and in the case of an antivirus, even set the date for disabling these functions.

All of these applications are distributed free of charge (there are paid versions with greater capabilities), so any user can download them if the phone parameters match and system requirements Install the program on your smartphone.

Possible problems and solutions

The main thing is that when you download and install the program, do it only with the help of official or trusted sources (Play Market or AppStore). Otherwise, you risk catching malicious software on your phone. software. With its help, attackers can easily figure out the contacts of the people with whom you communicate, your personal number phone and steal great amount confidential data (especially if you often correspond via SMS messages). If you still use unverified sources, for example, forums where “firmware” versions of programs are posted, then install anti-virus software in advance.

When using a blacklist, one serious problem can arise - after adding a person to the blacklist, you can miss some important event. If you used additional utility, then the person will not be able to let you know about him at all, because incoming messages will also be blocked. Also, be careful when dialing a number when adding a contact to the blacklist, so that another person does not accidentally end up there. Usually no one experiences any other serious troubles when working with blacklists (especially built-in ones).

Every owner of a smartphone running the Android operating system can quickly block unwanted contact. Both traditional tools of the operating system itself and additional applications will help with this. If it doesn’t matter whether you receive SMS from a blocked subscriber and you don’t need to set a specific time and date, then use the standard options. In all other cases, various applications will come to the rescue. After blocking, neither calls from the blocked subscriber nor SMS messages will bother you.

When a subscriber does not want another person to call him and cannot even write him a message, he can simply blacklist such a person on Android. In this case, the one who is blacklisted will either hear that “the subscriber is out of network coverage”, or the call will simply be constantly dropped, or hear the call tones, but in fact the call will not occur.

Accordingly, he simply will not be able to reach that subscriber. As for how to add a number to the list of prohibited numbers, this can be done in several ways - using the standard Android phone book and using specialized applications. Let's look at the simplest and most popular ways to add a contact to the blacklist.

Standard means

On Android 4.0 and higher, it is possible to complete the task using a standard phone book. How to blacklist a number is described below.

1. First you need to click on the desired contact in phone book.
2. In the window that opens, that is, on the contact page, click on the button additional functions(vertical ellipsis in the upper right corner) and in the drop-down menu, click on the “Direct inbox blocking” item (in some versions it is called “Direct blocking”).

Important: The standard Android phonebook only allows you to blacklist contacts that are on the phone, so if the contact you want is on the SIM card, you need to transfer it to the phone to block the number.

Applications

As mentioned above, you can add a contact to the blacklist using special applications. Let's look at the most popular ones.

Blacklist" by Vlad Lee

You can download this application from this link. In fact, it is a dialer, but with a built-in blacklist - it has its own tab. There are absolutely no questions about how to add a number to the list of prohibited ones, how to create a white list, how to add a number to it and how to use other functions of the program.

The features of the “Black List” from Vlad Lee are as follows:

• the user can block a number not only for calls, but also for receiving SMS messages (Figure 1 shows how it looks in this application);

• adding numbers from contacts, calls, messages, using manual entry, as well as all numbers that begin with certain numbers (Figure No. 2 shows the menu for adding a contact to the black list - to open this menu, you need to press the circle with the “+” symbol in lower right side of the application window);

• working with numbers that can always be reached, regardless of how this application or any other similar ones work.

As for how to add a number to the white list, the procedure is exactly the same - on the top panel, select the corresponding tab and click on the blue circle with the “+” symbol. This application is completely free and very easy to use. On Google Play his score never dropped below 4.1.

Call Blocker by AndroidRock

This application has a minimum of functions, but as a program for creating a blacklist, it is simply ideal, mainly because it is effective. There are no problems with putting your room in the prohibited zone. The application has only two tabs - the blocking log and the blacklist itself.

When you go to the list, two buttons appear at the bottom - “Add” and “Clear”. In the blocking log there is only a “Clear” button. You can also add contacts from the phone book, call log, or by manually entering a phone number. In principle, this is all the functionality this application.

Learn more about how a blacklist is created standard means system, you can learn from the video below.

There are situations in life when calls from some people become unwanted. You do not intend to answer them, you are not in the mood for communication, and sometimes you just want to get rid of the annoying interlocutor.

Let's try to figure out how to add such a number to the blacklist. It is not difficult and there are different methods to achieve this goal.

Let's contact the mobile operator

The easiest method to add a number mobile phone blacklisted – contact your telecom operator. The service is very popular, so all companies present on the market offer it. However, remember that this option will not be free. How to activate the service for different operators?

• Beeline. We execute the USSD command *110*771*subscriber number#, and then press the call key. To return the person’s ability to call you, use the code *110*772*subscriber number#.
• MTS. Here the service command looks like this: *880*26*…#, where the ellipsis should be the number you want to block. When you are ready to start receiving calls again, enter *880*27*…#.
• "Megaphone". This operator uses a USSD command that looks like this: *130*…#. The same must be done when you are going to remove a contact from the black list, maintaining the same character set sequence.

Features of the phone itself

Modern mobile devices can filter incoming calls. How to blacklist a particular subscriber on a device is usually described in the instructions included with the phone. Typically, this is done in one of the drop-down menus in the phone book. Just add a contact there, save the changes, and the designated subscriber will no longer bother you. And even if he tries, the answer will be only short beeps. If you have lost your user manual, you can try to find the corresponding document on the Internet. Usually manufacturers duplicate them on their websites.

An important nuance is that you need to save the numbers in the memory of the phone itself. If you leave them on the SIM card, the function may not work correctly.

Third party programs

Not everyone likes to use built-in functionality or pay operators for a feature that should be free. There are for them different programs, offering extensive capabilities, including message filtering, the ability to filter callers by groups, and various modes. Using the appropriate software is much more profitable than services from mobile operators. Try downloading one of these programs, just try to choose the most popular version that has positive reviews. And the functionality and abundance of opportunities provided will certainly please you.
