Can anyone recommend a good call blocking app?

This pesky company called Canadian Pharmacy calls me every few days and I keep saying it's a wrong number but they keep persisting. It also shows up as an NZ 06 number so I usually answer and I haven't found anything in the native call app to reject or block that number.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Push and hold the offending number in your call log. Should be able to either block or add to an ignore list of something from there.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I've tried that to no avail. I've got the Vodafone Smart ultra and it doesn't seem to include that feature in the call app.

Okay and no call rejection list under call settings or advanced call settings?

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Nope, nothing there either. I've got call barring settings but that's wholesale not for individual numbers/contacts.

I think you can block numbers from calling & texting in the "My Vodafone" app

Or via the Vodafone website, from memory. Log in to your account I think.

I can't find that option on the App. There is another app called Vodafone Guardian which blocks calls but it looks like it's mainly aimed at kids.

You can blacklist numbers but only for txts & pxts. One of the support articles mentioned recording examples of 4 calls within a 7 day timeframe and Vodafone will trace the call and take appropriate action on your behalf. Unfortunately, that's not going to work either.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have to trawl through Google Play store to see what's available.
