Request: Add option for private/blocked numbers #25

Closed norrinr closed 2 years ago

norrinr commented 2 years ago

Private numbers, or ones with blocked caller ID (in USA dialing with *67 prefix blocks your number to the recipient), still get through and ring. Can you add an option to block private numbers as well? My dialer does have the option to block those calls on my Samsung phone, but I'm not sure if all dialers have that. It would be nice to have all blocking done in one place, anyway.

It can not be done..

Calls with a Call.Details#getHandlePresentation() of TelecomManager#PRESENTATION_RESTRICTED, 
TelecomManager#PRESENTATION_UNKNOWN or TelecomManager#PRESENTATION_PAYPHONE 
presentation are not provided to the CallScreeningService.

You have to find something like this in the settings of your default Phone app.

Hi,

TLDR: I was wrong, sorry. Now private numbers are blocked)
