Im on T-Mobile with the G1, and I would like to block Unknown calls from coming through, its very annoying, and I dont wanna change my number, I just want them rejected, is there an app, or even a hack of some kind that can accomplish this for me, I would really appreciate any info on this.

go to youmail.com sign up they have an option to block unknown calls
head up to trapcall.com and sign up for the flytrap service. It's free and will allow you to bounce unknown numbers, give you their actual caller ID and then if you so choose you can go online to blacklist them from ever calling again. They will hear a "the number you have dialed is no longer in service" message.
works like a charm, and free is always cool. They offer more features but with an additional monthly fee.
Thanks for the tip on trapcall, it's a great service. I was actually looking for something to forward unknown calls to my voicemail so I never have to deal with them. Does anyone know of an app that can do this?

Call and SMS blocker.
I don't know if the applications are supported anymore. Someone was looking for them a few weeks ago and I saved the attachments in case I'd ever want them.
Let me know if they still work?

I've been looking everywhere for callblocker. I am about to test it out now, thank you so much. I'll let you know if it works out.
Well after installing the app I realize that the unknown block feature isn't exactly what I was looking for. In the about dialog it explains that it will block anyone that isn't in your contacts list. While that will cover restricted calls, it will also block people calling from random phone numbers. I just want to forward restricted calls to voicemail or drop them altogether. Anyway thanks again for the post, this has put my mind to ease now that I know what that app was all about. I wonder how hard it would be to code an app that forwarded restricted calls to the voicemail. Seems like it should be fairly simple.

Trapcall works great but the only thing I didn't really like was there voicemail service I use PF voicemail and you cant use them both
I install tCallblocking app this morning and haven't had an unknown caller all day.
youmail
I second youmail. It blows phonefusion away and is much more customizable. And no annoying text message. The only thing is it doesn't really block them from calling but it stops them from being able to leave a msg, gives them a greeting you choose, such as the number has been disconnected or doesn't accept calls etc. Totally the best vmail app around.
I found an app to block restricted calls, actually sends them to voicemail but that is exactly what I wanted with trapcall. It's called tcallblocking, search for it in the market if you are interested.
Just saw previous post about tcallblocking, so basically what I'm saying is, this app rocks.

Edit: It seems like I need to read the original post thoroughly. Sorry for polluting this thread!
Can I use the Caller Blocking Application on this website for the G1?

Damn, would be nice if I could get the source for them, would really like to look into them.
tCallBlock on JAChero 2.7.3
Have had this installed for a couple of days now and works great. Will notify you of missed call from unknown but phone never rings. Also forwards straight to voicemail. I'm happy with it! No more UNKNOWN calls for me. Hope this helps.
Block unknown callers straight to voicemail
Hello everyone, the app is call tcall blocking lite is on the android market
enjoy it!!!!!
Youmail and Unknown Contact
Youmail works best for this. And its best VM app out there. I just set this option and should know in few days if actually works. Not sure how to test it out since I dont have a land line to do *67 from. Tested from phone of friend...he did *67 and it says Unknown but still phone rings and have to drag up to decline it before they hear "This person does not accept blocked calls...blah blah blah". So after adding the unknown contact from gmail contacts and letting it sync, I set to block call. So now it does not ring at all
Is there any app which lets me block unknown numbers the built in blocked caller app doesnt block unknown numbers, so please can you recommend me apps which are able to do this.
Thanks.
There is an app called 'Call Blocker Elite' for Android which does what you want. I haven't tried it though.
I tried both Call Blocker Elite and GBlocker and found the second to be better at efficiently blocking unwanted calls.
Thanks downloading now
please if there any other apps please let me know
Anyone know of an app that will allow me to play messages to callers based on the person who is calling? I want to play a "number disconnected" message to only selected people so that they think my number is deconed. I want all callers to come through.
I have found Call Blocking apps but they just drop the calls. Another app plays the same .mps file to all callers. The only app I have found to do both is only available in China.
I am rooted and ready to install.
Thanks.
Youmail works good for that

If you use google voice. Go to Google voice on your PC and set up your greetings for a specific person or group In your settings.

Anyone you block in Google Voice will hear a very official sounding disconnected message. This, of course, assumes the unwanted caller is calling your Google Voice number.

i keep getting spam calls from the same number recently, and I went online to my verizon account to block the number. however, when I tried to apply it, I got an error message saying that I could not block it. interestingly, the system applied the block to my wife's iPhone.
is there an alternative way to block calls aside from a 3rd party app?
thanks!

Some ROMs have that feature built in -- like CM. That's not "3rd party app".

Other than that, I use RCB blocker, but I'm rooted and it's a 3rd party app.

if it was a landline number you could use this service:
https://nomorobo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205761775-What-Phone-Carriers-Are-Supported-
But it doesn't work with cell phones.
finally got it figured out. had to have a chat with VZW and they had to enable "blocking calls and messages" feature on my account. i couldn't do it myself online, only on their end.
What I've done is create a contact called Block, tick the box to send to voicemail, and then set ringtone to none. You can add more than one number to this contact. Naturally this only works for numbers that you can save.
I use this. Works great. Xposed.

Is there any way to block (mark as spam) incoming unknown calls?
I´d like to be able to block any incoming call from unknown people without using any additional app.
:silly:

Keep the phone on DND and set the option to your contacts only.
That's the best you can do without any other app.
