    I used to use an app called Sanity & it was brilliant. You could select blocking methods including not sending the call to voicemail. Does anyone know of a current app that will do this ? Sanity even had a setting where the caller wouldn't hear a ring - as if the phone was out of signal.

    Apparently it stopped working - something to do with an android update

    Samsung Devices running Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat operating system version 5.x - 7x

    No Oreo.


    Looks to have been written to specifically call Samsung baseband APIs. Alternative apps designed to be generic to most Android devices will rely on standard dialler functions so may not work to the same level as it did.

    I also use the free downloadable truecaller premium app at techbigs to get the best out of spam calls.
