I'm receiving calls from call-center companies that wan't to offer me services that I don't want. I already ask them to stop calling but they keep trying.. Can I configure my 2.2 Android Phone(Galaxy 551) to block the incomming calls from certain numbers?

    @Mathew the Question you point to is only resolved if you can use Google Voice service. At this time this service is not available in many countries.

  • @Doliveras: There are two other answers there which do not require Google Voice, both of which work just fine.

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 contact as needed.

Even better, within Google Voice, which I use for voicemail, I go to this entry, edit the Google Voice settings for that entry, and change the selection from which phones to ring to block the caller.

Now my phone doesn't ring and I don't get any voicemails to delete.
