Best Call Blocker

[SheeB]

So I have a couple annoying telemarketers that keep calling that I want the phone to no ring at all and simply dump them to voicemail immediately.

I have tried Call Blocker Professional and wasn't impressed, also tried iBlocker Pro but it rings once before send the caller to voicemail which is annoying.

Anyone recommend a better call block app?

The best thing is to press a key to get to the operator if it's a bot, or if it's a person, tell them if they don't stop calling you'll sue the company or lodge a complaint with their director of operations. A lawsuit threat also works, including charges for harassment.

Any on-device call blocker will do basically the same thing - watch for incoming calls from the filtered list, detect it, and do an input simulation to ignore the call.

If you want that to happen silently, one way to do it is to create a contact for each number, then create a group in profile settings (for example, open Profiles, scroll down to Sounds for Contacts, add the annoying contacts to the list, and set the ringer to always silent).

If you want the calls to never even reach your device, you'll have to make arrangements with your carrier. You might also want to look into a do not call list. Both of these options are outside my knowledge base for Canadian carriers.

Thanks wu-wei. I will do the profile modification as that will do the trick.
