![]() Group BlockerGoogle Play LinkWhat is Group Blocker?Group Blocker is a call blocker that is based on the group membership of a contact. All contacts belonging to a specified contact group are blocked. So now you can also use Google Contacts to manage your call blocking list. Group Blocker supports two blocking methods: "Reject call" and "Answer call & hang up". Both methods are working even on new versions of Android (tested on v2.2. v2.3.3 and v4.0.3), where many other call blockers have problems with the "Answer call & hang up" method. Why do I need Group Blocker?Do you sometimes get unwanted calls? Does your ex girlfriend/boyfriend bother you? Do you want no business calls during your holidays? If you can answer one of this questions with 'yes', then Group Blocker is the right tool for you. How does Group Blocker work?Contact GroupOn the main screen you can define a contact group by clicking on the red contact group field. After selecting a contact group (only contact groups that have contacts assigned are shown - the number of assigned contacts is shown on the right side), all contact group members are listed beneath the contact group name.

Show NotificationShows a short notification after a call has been blocked. Differences between Full and Lite versionThe main advantage of the Full version is, that it is able to use the "Answer call & hang up" method, and the it can remove the entry of blocked calls from the call log. The Lite version is limited to the "Reject call" method and cannot remove call log entries. Furthermore notifications are not available.
