call blocker

yes, i want block incoming call. but another person calling me.. not know block you for me.. plz.. say procees .

I'm not sure what you're looking for, Luna has already answered the question. There are apps for blocking calls from certain numbers, but they will most likely always send the call to voicemail.

Talk to your network if you want a number blocked permanently.

If you are asking about the process to use the call blocker app referenced in this channel, it looks pretty clear how to use it based on the play store description.

You may not need an app if all you want to do is stop the call from ringing your phone. Open your dialer and select call history. Find the number there that you want to block and long-press it. You should get an option to block it there.

Just to reiterate, all this does is send the call immediately to voicemail immediately without ringing your phone. True call blocking must happen from the carrier's network. Who's your carrier? Maybe we can look it up for you.

Are you using this app Call Blocker to try and block the incoming calls? If not, how are you trying to block them?

If I understand you correctly, when you block an incoming call, other callers say that they receive a busy signal?

What I think is happening is that you have call waiting disabled, which means you can only have one caller at a time. So if the blocked number calls and is sent immediately to voicemail, your line would still be in use from your carrier as the voicemail message is played. Even if the blocked caller hangs up, it will keep your line open until the default timeout.

If call waiting were enabled, then even when you are on a call, your phone would ring and you could answer or dismiss the incoming call. In this case as the blocked call kept a line open with the carrier, any incoming calls would still come through. There is no phone solution other than to contact your carrier about call blocking and call waiting options to your account.

Brother, you probably can not understand my problem. If I talk to someone from my phone then my elder brother went to someone else on my phone, then they know, because my phone is waiting or busy. How do I block them and they do not know that I am talking about .. Now if you have understood my problem then tell me some solution

Call blockers might be your problem to begin with. If anyone gets a busy signal when they call your number, it means that a.) your line is in use, and b.) you do not have call waiting enabled for your line.

IF you had call waiting, then when a blocked number was being rejected and other callers would ring through or go to voicemail (unless you don't have voicemail either). Both of these things are issues with your carrier and there are no phone settings or apps that can change that.
