Block Phone Numbers? - MarkF - 03-16-2021

Hello All,

Apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn’t find a post on this.  Is it possible to block phone numbers on Mobian?  I’ve looked in the obvious places but I can’t find a way to do it.

Many thanks.

its been brought up before https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11892 but it doesnt look like anyone followed through and filed a ticket anywhere to even request the feature.

Many thanks for the reply.  I've raised Issues#274 on the Mobian GitLab - see what happens.

might be worth submitting on the phosh gitlab issue tracker, too, since Mobian is pulling Phosh from Librum.

How are calls/sms blocked? Is this something that's done by the mobile carrier that one uses or is it done at the endpoint? I'm getting robosms everyday and its costing me money. How do I block them? Do I reach out to my carrier or can I install an app. Want to stop paying the per message sms fee.

Most sms and mms text advertisers will stop if you Reply with "STOP"
