Help Blocking phone numbers on HTC Magic

There are a few apps on the market, but the best one by far if you don't ever want to even know a number was blocked and it just works is Root Call Blocker. You have to root your phone though.

This is what I do.

I created a contact just for wrong numbers / solicitors. Every time I get an annoying call, I add that number to that contact.

Through contact management on Android, I set all calls from that contact to go straight to voicemail. And through Google Voice, I set up that contact to be blocked completely. And the only number I ever give out is my Google Voice number.

So chances are they'll be blocked completely. But just in case they get my T-Mobile number, they'll go straight to voicemail.

That is the exact same thing I used to do before I discovered root call blocker
