What is Call & SMS Blocker?
Tired of telemarketers breaking through during dinner? Call & SMS Blocker - Phone app is a call and SMS blocker that doubles as your default phone and messaging handler, filtering unwanted numbers before they reach you.
The app replaces your stock dialer and SMS app, routing every incoming call and text through filters you define. Add numbers manually to a blacklist, block entire area codes, or shut out everyone except saved contacts. Private numbers get stopped at the gate. A whitelist keeps exceptions safe. Dual SIM devices get full support, so both lines stay protected. Every blocked attempt logs to a separate view so you can confirm what got stopped.
What stands out:
- Manual blacklist and area code blocking give you control over who gets through, without relying on a crowdsourced database.
- Keyword filters catch spam texts by content, stopping messages that slip past number-based rules.
- Schedule messages to send later, useful when you need to time a text without setting a reminder.
- Full backup and restore for SMS and MMS threads keeps your message history portable across devices.
- Group chat, large MMS support, delivery reports and emoji input round out the messaging side without jumping between apps.
SMS scheduling and MMS handling
The messaging layer handles standard SMS, MMS with attachments up to larger sizes, and group threads. You can search past conversations, enable delivery reports to confirm sends, and schedule outgoing texts to fire at a set time. Backup captures the full message database so switching phones or resetting does not erase threads. Keywords let you block texts containing specific phrases, which helps when spam messages rotate through different numbers but repeat the same pitch.
Other call and SMS blockers
Truecaller leans on a massive crowdsourced database to identify and auto-block spam callers without manual input. Hiya focuses on real-time caller ID and fraud detection by analyzing call patterns. Call & SMS Blocker - Phone app skips the shared database and puts you in charge of the blacklist, which means no automatic spam ID but also no reliance on crowd data. Pick this if you prefer manual control and do not want your call log tied to a third-party service. Keep in mind it shows ads and offers in-app purchases, and becoming the default SMS app is required for text blocking to work at all.
