How You Can Block Calls and Texts on Your Smartphone

Posted Dated : Friday April 03, 2015, 12:00:00

For iPhones

iOS 8 has built-in options for blocking numbers.

Go to the Contacts app and tap on the contact you want to block or find the number on the Recent Calls tab (clock icon) on your Phone app and tap the circled “i” icon to the right of the number. Both these methods will take you to the contact page for that caller. Scroll to the bottom and click on the Block This Caller.
 

For Android smartphones

If you’re getting nuisance calls from the same number, you can block it from the call log. Select the number you want to block and when you see the details for the caller, hit the menu button. There you’ll find the option to “Add to reject list.” You can manage your call reject list, including adding contacts or numbers, under settings >> call >> call reject >> auto reject list.
