How to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X?

Update: if your Moto G, Moto X, Moto E, or Moto Z has been updated to Android Nougat 7.0 or later versions of Android, you can now use the built-in call blocking feature as explained in this guide.

Sometimes, you may want to want to block some callers for whatever reason.

But in Moto G (including Moto G 2014, or Moto G 2nd generation, Moto G 2015, or Moto G 3rd Gen), Moto E (including Moto E 2015), or Moto X (including Moto X 2014, Moto X 2015), you cannot find the feature to block certain callers.

Then, how to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X?

This guide will show you 3 different methods to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X.

Method 1: Divert calls to voicemail to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X

The most polite way to block the caller is to transfer the calls to voicemail automatically. The caller usually would think you are on holiday or you are busy with some other tasks.

To divert the calls from certain callers to voicemail, you may follow these steps:

  1. Start People app (or Contacts app) in your Moto G, Moto E or Moto X.
  2. Open the contact you want to block.
  3. Tap menu button (3 vertical dots) as shown below.
  4. Tap “All calls to voicemail” to check it.

Now, all calls from this contact will be diverted to the voicemail.

block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_divert_to_voice_mail

Please note, this method of blocking certain callers only works when your phone is on. If you turn off the phone, the caller will get unreachable notification per the settings of your carrier.

If you set call diversion (to other numbers) when the phone is not reachable with your carrier. The calls from these “blocked” callers will also be transferred to that number when the phone is not reachable.

In other words, this setting is on your phone only. It cannot overwrite the settings of your carrier. And it will be overwritten by the settings of your carrier.

Method 2: use an app to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X

If you want to block certain callers that are not on your address book, you may use some apps to do the job.

There are many such apps in the play store. In this guide, I will show you one of them:  Mr. Number-Block calls & spam. The free features of this app are sufficient for most users.

Step 1: Install Mr. Number app

You can search Mr. Number-Block calls & spam in Google Play store.

Once it is found, tap “Install” as shown below.

Tap “Accept” to acknowledge the permissions this app requires.

The app should be installed in your phone.

block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_install_mr_number block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_install_mr_number_permissions

Step 2: Assign numbers or define rules

After the Mr Number app is installed,  start the app.

Tap the blocklist icon as shown below.

In the block list page, you have the options to choose hang up or voicemail. This is how the app handles calls from anyone in the blocklist.

For example, you want to hang up the calls from certain numbers, tap “+ hang up on someone” as shown below.

You will then prompted with the options to input the number, e.g.,  choose from a contact on the phone or type the number directly.

Once you select the number, it will be added to your blocklist as shown below.  \

Repeat the procedure for other numbers.

 

block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_mr_number_add block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_mr_number_hangup

block_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_mr_number_select_numberblock_certain_callers_on_Moto_G_Moto_E_and_Moto_X_mr_number_blocked_numbers

Step 3: That’s all.

Now, calls from anyone in the blocklist will get  disconnected automatically (hang up) or be transferred to the voicemail.

Please note, this method only works when your phone is reachable. It also can be overwritten by the diversion settings in your carrier.

Method 3:  Register with your carrier to block certain callers for your Moto G, Moto E, and Moto X

The bullet-proof way to block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X, is to register it with your carrier. Most carriers have such service for free.  A few may charge you.

So, call your carrier to find out the details  on their services related to blocking certain numbers.

This method works even when your phone is off  or unreachable.

Can you block certain callers on Moto G, Moto E and Moto X now?

If you  you have any problems or questions to block certain callers on Moto G (including Moto G 2nd generation) , Moto E and Moto X (including Moto x 2nd generation), please post them  in the comment box below.

      The blocked person will not be notified. Your phone will simply send a busy tone when you are called from that number. But he/she may realize it after a few times.

      You can erased the data remotely with Android Device Manager with your Google account. Of course, if the phone is offline, the command can be executed after it comes back online.

      If you set pin or password for the phone, then your data are very likely safe. Your data can be accessed only after the phone is unlocked.

      Who heard the one ring, you or the caller?

      If the notification panel is not working, you have to back up the phone and try a factory data reset.

      Do you mean the caller heard a connecting tone? Can you make calls from your phone?

      If you hear a ring from your phone, there should be a notification.

      Did you turn on any blocking settings? You should try to turn off all blocking apps/servings and try again.

      This requires call waiting. It depends on your carrier. You can check call settings to enable call waiting so that you will get the option to connect to the second caller or not when you are talking with the first caller.

      Mr. Number can only block sms before Kitkat 4.4. Hangup option is not available since Lollipop 5.0.

      To block sms, you may try this app, or this one.

      The contact can still message you. Also the setting is for the phone only. If you change phones, you need set it again.

      A better option is to ask your carrier to block the number completely.

      the best solution is to ask you carrier to divert all calls to voicemail box.

      you can also set call forwarding on the phone. But your carrier will charge the airtime. In phone app, tap menu key (3 vertical dots), tap Settings– call settings– call forwarding.

      The third option is to use downtime settings in your phone (I assume you update the phone to Lollipop already as this feature is available on Lollipop or Marshmallow). Go to Settings– Sound & notification -interruptions– turn off calls under Priority interruptions, and set Downtime.

          You need read the details of the app and try it to see whether it meets your requirements. The app itself is free. If it cannot meet your demands, you can simply uninstall it.

          Also, you should onluy install apps that you need.

    Hi I just bought a moto g two days ago & I used the “all calls to voicemail” feature to block sum1 from my contacts. It workd fine, but then I turnd it off to receive a 1 off call from my them. Now it won’t turn back on? The little icon box were u press to tick won’t stay on? Every time I press it, it just won’t activate? Also star icon is doing the same thing? But every other but button works? Meaning (edit, set ringtone etc) work?

          You can try to clear cache and clear data for Contacts app in Settings–Apps–All–Contatcts, tap clear data, and clear cache. Then try again.

          You can also try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

    i have a Mot E. I believe someone who isnt one of my contacts, got a hold of my phone. Each time they call, the name of one of my contacts appears(its the same name all of the time). I’m guessing they are hoping I will answer the phone if the name of the caller is familiar.fortunately the number that appears isnt the contacts number. I just dont answer it. I just deleted the contact and re-entered it with a different name. Hopefully that will fix it. Is it possible to keep a caller from accessing a phone?

      Your contacts are by default synced with your Google account. In this way, all your phones can sync contacts easily.

      However, if you find the contact is wrong, you can check your contacts from your google dashboard.

      Btw, the caller cannot access your phone, or modify your contact.

      Mr Number app does have a log of blocked numbers.

      Of course, if you choose to divert the call to voicemail in contacts app, there will be no log for you.

      Same here.

      I bought a Moto E 2nd Gen yesterday. It has Lollipop 5.1. I too am trying to block some of my Contacts. However, the option to do so is absent.

      I explored many Contacts to see if it was a specific occurrence, but every Contact I’ve tested only offers the options of ‘Delete’, ‘Share’, & ‘Place on Home screen’. I even tried scrolling that menu, but those were the only available options.

      I’d really like to avoid a 3rd-party app re this matter, especially if it’s supposed to be a default function of the Moto E 2nd Gen. Help would be appreciated.

          Ugh. It’s so obvious to me now. So that’s what “Open the contact” meant. Eureka.
          –Thanks, simon.

          I am wondering though: should there be a symbol next to the Contacts I’ve diverted to voicemail? The ‘no sign’ or something like ø ? Because my blocked Contacts look normal. I checked the “block” box & saved, but I thought maybe there’d be an indication in the Contacts list.

        • simon says

          October 25, 2015 at 3:15 am

          Unfortunately, no indicator for it in all Moto phones.

          Normally, people use groups to group friends, family members and relatives, annoying guys, and bad guys. It is easier to filter and maintain. You can create a voicemail-only group. Throw the contact to that group if you do not want to pick up his calls in a polite way.

      it does not make sense to say which one is better: iphone or Android phones. it is all about personal preferences.

      iOS and Android work in different ways. If you know Android well, you will probably know how to handle such things. And probably you will appreciate why Android works in this way.

      Android is about choices. If you don’t like Moto E, you can get one from Samsung, LG, HTC, or Huawei, or even Xiaomi. If you don’t like iPhone 6, what’s your options?

      If you think iPhone can meet all your needs, you should still get another iPhone as a spare phone. Android gives you options: can you get a $129 iPhone?

      If you want to compare iphone with Android phones, try Nexus phones or Moto X (although both cost less than half of iPhone 6S+).

      To achieve this, you need ask the phone company to block the number. Most companies offer such filters. Apps cannot do this because apps only handle the call after your phone company connects your phone with the caller.

      Moto E does not save contacts to SIM card. New contacts are always under your Google account.

      When you save the contact, it will ask you to sync with one Google account. In this way, when you change phones or use multiple phones, it is not necessary to copy contacts.

      You need find other apps. If it is a spammer, you should report to your phone company and they can block it for you.

      Check with Hangouts help. If Hangouts is your default sms app, you can block people with it too.

          Hangouts app is for messaging (sms or mms) instant messaging and vioce/ video chatting. You can set it as the default messaging app.

      Did you block any numbers on your phone? What notification (not reachable or not picked up) did they get when calling you?

    You’d think they’d make blocking an easy to use native feature.

        How do you know they are blocked? In the call log?

        Do you see any messages or notifications on the phone?
