Harass Me by Samuel Tardieu available from Google Play Store does what you want: Tired of missing extra-urgent calls because you forgot to switch your phone off silent mode? This application will turn the volume on if the same number tries to call you 3 times in 3 minutes (configurable).

If you are in the US, I would highly recommend getting a Google Voice number. Anytime a form asks for your phone number, give it your Google Voice number instead of your real phone number. This way you can screen calls or block calls inside of Google Voice, along with other benefits such as transcribing your voicemails and unlimited texting.

I don't use an app. What I do is have a "Spammer" record in my Contacts. Whenever I receive a telemarketing call, I add that phone number to the Spammer contact. I give out my Google Voice number exclusively. Within GV I have that contact blocked, so any calls from one of those numbers receives the "ding-ding-ding This number is not in service" message. ...

I guess you could do this using the "Conference Call" trick on android (natively!). The screenshots below are for vanilla froyo and may vary with your version/dialer app. During your call (Don't hang up the call), after talking to that person, press the "Menu" button on your android. Press "Add Call" from the menu. Dial and call the number you wish to ...

I was able to set up a pair of tasker profiles that raises the volume to a particular level when a second call comes in from the same number within a five minute interval. It's fairly specific (it only acts if the second call is from the same number as the most recent missed call, doesn't reset the volume after the call, etc.), but it could be a starting ...

Have you tried browsing the Tasker's wiki? There are some good pre-made profiles there you can use. The easy way to block calls with Tasker is described here: Open Tasker, create a new Profile and name it "Blockr". Select the "State" context menu and the "Incoming Call" context from that menu. Keep this screen open and follow the instructions below ...

The Setting Profiles app can do that. From their site: What if I don’t want to miss an important call while I’m on mute? You can overwrite current sound settings with a rule based on Incoming Call condition. Here is how to: Create a new rule Add Incoming Call condition and set it to your preferred contacts group (like VIP or Family) ...

Root Call Blocker seems to fit the bill perfectly. As the name implies though, it requires the handset to be rooted. I use it personally and so far it's been doing its job well. There are plenty of alternatives on the Market for you to try.

I would recommend two apps. Call Blocker, which works really fine and blocks calls as well as inconvenient text messages, and Tasker -- a very powerful tool that does a lot of things besides blocking undesired calls.

Google Voice has options for this. If you have a Voice account and someone calls you using that number you can use the Call Screening option to force them to record a message you can hear before you pick up. Edit: Google Voice is currently only available in the US, so if you live anywhere else this solution obviously won't work for you.

Miui has a built-in call/message filter, perhaps confusingly called Firewall, since there is also an actual internet firewall within the, also confusingly called, Monitor application (a comprehensive call and traffic logger ). Works great though. To password protect it just use the Guard application, also within Miui.

I found one that does just this last week. Check out http://www.youmail.com. It's an app you download, but can manage it from their website. You can record different greetings for different people; family, business and the main reason I got it.... the number has been disconnected for people I REALLY don't want to talk to! I also have a msg just for Blocked ...

I am not sure about an option in the system itself but the app mr number will do that for you: The lifehacker article talks about the app http://lifehacker.com/5648876/call-block-unlimited-automates-call-blocking-and-routing-on-android-phones

If it's the same people ringing you regularly what you could do is: Add them as a contact, under 'Ignore1', 'Ignore2' etc. whenever they ring Go to Contacts -> Select 'Ignore1' -> Options (or action menu) -> Select 'All calls to voicemail' Or if you don't like this method then you could try: Mr. Number: Text, Call & Block (free) Extreme Call ...

This is a network function and no app will be able to perform the behaviour you're looking for. At best, you can create a custom "silent" ringtone for a known number. Else, if you'd prefer pressing the volume buttons will usually mute the ringing while giving the dialler the perception that the call remains unanswered.

A friend just recommended Call Control to me for this very reason. I'm starting to get spam calls on my cell phone and it disgusts me. Plus there's a black list feature as well.

While it may not be exactly what you're looking forward to, Google Voice has something like this. If a caller calls your google voice number, all the phone you have registered ring at once. So you pick up the call on your home phone, then decide you want to go out. Google Voice lets you press 4, and it starts ringing the other phones again (without the ...

The feature you're looking for is known as call transfer. It's pretty common on office PBX and VoIP systems, but is virtually never seen with mobile phones. The existence of such a feature would require some intelligence in both the device and cooperation from the carrier's equipment, both of which are generally absent. As far as I know, there is nothing in ...

Found it! The culprit is this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist Calls Blacklist Listen to this: if you add any number to the blacklist of this app, and UNINSTALL this app after that, the number will be kept hidden and block. I.e. there is no way you can unblock the number, you can only do this by installing this ...

Not positive which version they added the feature or if this is an HTC/T-Mo addition, but on my HTC G2 (running 2.3.3) it can be done without any apps. While viewing a contact, I can go into the menu -> options and change the ringtone or route calls directly to voicemail. I configured this for a single contact I've called "Blocked" and add numbers to this ...

You can very nearly do this with totally standard built-in features, most of which actually rely on support from the phone network rather than anything special on your phone. In fact I can't think of a real way to do absolutely everything you're asking without implementing it at the phone network, rather than on the phone. You can block "Unknown" numbers ...

A new app in the Play Store: WhoAreYou Completely FREE Visual Caller ID, Call Blocker, and Text Blocker. Know exactly who is calling or texting you - even when they’re not in your address book. WhoAreYou is a completely FREE visual Caller ID, Call Blocker, and Text Blocker. See a name, visual picture, city and state on almost every call and ...

Browsing thru the market led me to this app called Mr. Number. Features: NEW: Status for calls and texts Block calls and texts from one person or the world Automatic reverse lookup for every number that is not in your contacts Manual reverse lookup for mystery calls on your home or work phone Add new contacts to your address book with one click Catch ...
