Block a phone number on android without any app

There are many times when we need to block some irritating callers. In this post, I am going to show you a very simple yet effective method to block a phone number on your android device. For this purpose, you do not even need to install any app. We are going to block a phone number using the inbuilt stock Contacts app. This app comes pre-installed on stock android devices like Nexus 4, nexus 5, nexus 6, nexus 6p, moto g2, moto g3, moto g4 , moto x, moto x pure , moto z etc. So if you are using any of these devices or any other device running stock android, you can easily block a contact. However, if you are using other devices like Samsung, htc or Sony, I am not sure this will work for you. Still, I suggest you to give it a try.

Block a phone number on android

In order to block a phone number on your stock android device, follow the below procedure:

First add the number that you want to block in your contacts.
Once added in contact list, open that contact in the Contacts app and click on the edit icon.

Next, click on the three dots button on the top right corner.

A drop down window will show up. Look for the option All calls to voicemail and check it.

That’s it. Next time, when that caller will call you, he/she will usually get a busy tone or not responding message. Follow the same procedure for any number that you want to block on your phone.
