Does that block calls before your phone is able to ring/acknowledge a call like root call blocker?

yes it will. there are alot of settings to choose from. you can send to voice mail, have it just hang up on any number you put in. you can block all numbers starting with certain prefix or ad any number you want from you contacts or resent calls or just put a number in that you wantto block. you can get a notification that a number has been blocked or not. you can also have it send a text to a number after its been blocked or do nothing. the black list is nice to, you can even block numbers from texting you to. there are alot of options to choose from.

There is a setting so it will not ring at all. I have mine set so I don't even get any kind of notifications at all.
Try Call Filter

So I have an immature, annoying coworker who always sends idiotic spam messages; is there any way to block these? I need to keep his number for work related calls, I just dont need foolish pictures sent to me. I'm just using the stock messaging app. Any advice is appreciated

If you download handcent you can just add him to blacklist.
Sprint has a place to block texts on their web site.

You can use SMS Filter, a free, 30 kb app and add his or her number. No more sms messages from that number as long as he's in that app's blacklist. You can use it with any SMS client; it is a system wide effect.
Awesome man, thanks for the heads up.

You can also send a text to 9999 to block. Its the same as logging into the sprint website to block.
Just send a text to 9999 with: Block phonenumber
ex: Block 5551112222 will block all texts from 5551112222. Allow 5551112222 will allow texts from the number again.

Great advice, thanks for the info

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.

Is there someway to set up a separate voicemail mailbox for incoming calls originating from hidden numbers? "Hi, this phone is not capable of receiving calls from hidden or unknown numbers, change your settings and call again please". Preferably completely automatic and so that the phone don't even ring.

You need third party application for that
Root call blocker is one of the best.
Though you need to send it to your operator voice mail. like symbian android is not capable of using own system voice mail box. Above said application can send define call to define action (block/silent/voice mail divert etc)
I'm not rooted. Use stock and intend to do so. No solution for stock users?
You may find call blocker for non rooted on market, but this application I told you is the best, even worth to root

I have a Droid Bionic on Verizon running Android 4.0.4. Does anyone know how I can go about sending certain contacts direct to voicemail and vise versa? I've been reading forums all day, talking about a send to voicemail option under the contact, but I can't seem to find that option in my contacts. Does anyone know how can do this for an individual contact without having to call Verizon or use their web page?

I'm using Eclipse and I go to the Contacts App, tape the contact, tap the menu button, then check "All Calls to Voicemail." I'm not sure if it's the same or different on stock Bionic.
Blocker is a free app from the okay store that should work. You can create profiles and blacklists which will take specific actions on calls from specific contacts. Works well for me

Calls Blacklist by Vlad Lee will do something like that to. I seem to remember that the stock contacts app can do that too - but its somewhat hidden and I forget how its done.

It works exactly the same way in stock ICS.
Is any one having any issues getting voicemails to show up in their call log after seeing up Google voice? I get the notification but vast seem to find them in the call log.

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.
Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying
