Surely you are already fed up with those companies and salespeople who so often bother you over the phone. We often choose to let it continue ringing without picking it up with the idea that they will end up getting tired, but many times it is robots that make the call, so this strategy is hardly going to be useful to us. For that reason, if you don't want to hear from these calls again, the best thing you can do is block them. In this tutorial we are going to teach you how to reject a call through blocking to prevent it from bothering you again.
How to reject a call with Android
We start with the most widely used mobile phone operating system today, which is none other than Android. In this case we will have three configuration possibilities that we will detail below.
First of all, we start with the automatic blocking of unknown numbers or those that begin with figures such as 902, 901 and similar. In this case we have to enter the settings section of our device, and then we will access the “Device”. Inside it we will find another called “Calls” where in turn we have to access “Call rejection” to click on the “ optionCall rejection list”. Here we only have to choose what interests us most and of course activate or deactivate the filter.
On the other hand, we can also block a certain number or a contact list during certain hours. In this case we are also going to enter Settings and then “Device", but this time we will click on "Lock mode” and we only have to make the configuration we need.
Finally we can also block messages, for which we will enter Settings and click on “More”. Now we select “Spam message settings” and the only thing we have to do is add here the numbers of which we want automatically block messages.
How to reject a call with iPhone
If you have an iPhone, what we have to do is access the settings section, then “Phone” and then access the “Blocked Contacts” section. Here we will have to enter the contacts or list of contacts that we want to be rejected.
If what we want is to block messages, we will still enter the settings section but this time we will access “Messages” and then to “Blocked contacts” and we will choose those phone numbers from which we want to block all the messages sent to us.
And in the same way we have the option of activate a lock for a certain time, that is, it will remain blocked for certain hours. To do this we only have to enter the settings section and then click “Do not bother”, where we have to enter the numbers we want to be blocked for the indicated time.
How to reject a call with Windows Phone
In the event that we have a device with Windows Phone we will observe that, unlike the two operating systems mentioned above, we only have one type of filter, that is, calls and SMS messages are not separated, but in a single filter we will make all the changes.
To do this, we are going to enter the configuration section of our device and then we will access “System” to enter “Call blocker".
Obviously, all we have left to do is enter the phone numbers from which we want to block both the calls and the messages, be very careful with this, because if, for example, we want to block only one of the two things, this operating system will not block it for us. It allows.
And of course we also remind you that there are other interesting alternatives such as the possibility of installing an application on your devices with which you will no longer have to worry about these calls. For this reason, we recommend that you take a look at the article in which we talked about blacklists as one of the most used resources today.
The best thing about this alternative is that it will allow us to block any type of call by choosing the phone numbers one by one or even obtaining them directly from the call log.
