Unwanted Callers

Hello folks. It is time for this week in My Android Life.

  I have noticed a lot of questions regarding unwanted callers on Android phones. Unfortunately there is no way, in the native Android dialer/contact list to block unwanted callers. But there are several good third party apps to do this, and we will do a quick review of them today.

  First up is Dialerone, this is a fairly simple and light dialer which has several features. It allows you to add custom ringtones to contacts, allows you to group contacts by favorites, work, etc., swipe between contacts, favorites, and dial pad.

  Next up is exDialer. This was my first entry into third party dialers, and I still use it from time to time. This is another simple and light dialer which comes with contacts and the ability to block unwanted callers.

  Now to my daily driver as far as dialers are concerned. Go Contacts. This contacts manager comes with a built-in dialer and also comes with the ability to set custom ringtones, and block unwanted callers.

  All of these dialers come with several themes and can be customized to suit almost any taste.
  If you are set on keeping your stock dialer and contact manager and still need to block unwanted calls on your Android powered phone, try Mr. Number to block unwanted calls and text messages.

  Now go to your local US Cellular store, pick out an Android phone, and start custominzing it to be yours!
