Annoying calls!

Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II and i recently started receiving some annoying calls late at night and in the mornings.
I found many good applications that block incoming calls, but i was looking for a specific feature that i couldn't find yet.
Now when i block "Mr.X" and he calls me...."Mr.X" will hear a little beep, then get a busy signal.
I was looking for a program that when "Mr.X" calls me..he keeps on hearing beeps and my phone shows me nothing (he thinks my phone is ringing when it is not!) and, is there such a feature??
thanks guys

Hmm, all of the call blocking software I tried has that feature, you just have to enable in your settings to make the blocked call "invisible". Try Blacklist (the one that looks like a shield). Its the new one I'm using and so far it seems good.
 
save Mr. X's number in your contacts, next time he calls, answer the phone using some off the wall thing.

"County Morgue"
or
"Joes pool hall"
or
"Bail Bonds"


or get very creative in what you say, hopefully the calls will stop
 
I second the above comment. I love collectors and telemarketers to call. It gives me a chance to have some good ole immature fun. That and it always catches them off guard. Especially if you come up with something original haha

What part of the country (or world) do you live in? I get scads of annoying ad calls, but I can't remember the last time they weren't robocalls! Most of them are from some piece of garbage avoiding prosecution for violation of NY state laws from accross state lines.
 
Can you not just put your phone into 'Airplane' mode at night? Or turn it off? No calls then ....

If spammers are using predictive or robodialling, it's about useless. They spoof different numbers every time. Before they started spoofing, I'd simply add them to phonebook with a silent ring.

I've got a separate and distinctive ring for unknowns. I see the number and can check it out online. I don't answer it. Usually it's the same spammer with a different number. I don't have voicemail - I asked carrier to turn it off so they can't leave a message.

If the number is valid, it's in the call log and I can call back. Valid numbers do listen to the "no voice mail" and call back anyway.
 
I was watching this show.. about a woman who got arrested because she blew a whistle into the phone after the same telemarketer repeatedly called her. The telemarketer's eardrum popped or something. it's supposed to be a reenactment of a true story.
