How to block calls?

[Jenna_Lenna]

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know how to block calls or send certain callers directly to voicemail on this phone? Everywhere I looked says ice cream sandwich can do it and to just go to the settings of the contact card and the option should be there but I don't see it. On my last device which was running Froyo the option was there. All I've been able to find is Call Restrictions on the Call setting but the only options are to either block all or only allow contacts. I want to be able to restrict certain numbers but not all the time and not so generalized. Help?

There's a lot of apps in the play store that can do that.

So there's no way to do it directly on ice cream sandwich for the Motion?

Edit: seems like you can but on stock ICS. Lg changed it I think.

Aww .. Is there a third party app that you recommend that is the least glitchy for this?

I think I found one called "metro block-it" its pre installed already our find it on Play Store

$$$ I believe its $1 a month.

Yeah, the metro app is a trial.

Metro likes to charge for apps that you can get for free. And the free ones are usually better.

Call Control by everycall.us is the best imo

This setting doesn't actually block non-contacts, it just sends them straight to voicemail.

I'll give this a try, thank you for the suggestions! Too bad LG took the option off though.. wouldn't see why.

Yes I know.. and that's actually all I'm looking for contacts and non-contacts alike. But that setting is too generalized, its an all or nothing and I don't want that. :/

Thanks for all the responses everyone, I appreciate the help!
