If you’re an Android user, it will be a little complicated since not all Android devices have the blocking feature built in. You can open your
Phone app to check whether your device have this feature. If you have a Samsung device, go to your
Phone app, tap the Menu, and choose
Call settings. You’ll see the
call rejection option is in the first place. Then add the numbers you’d like to block to that list (
Phone => Call Settings => Call Rejection=> add the number to the blacklist). If your device doesn’t include this feature, you have to go to the Play store to download the apps that can block crank calls and messages.
