Call Blocking?

[myk.robinson]

On the Moto G4 Plus, is there a way without a third party app to block numbers? These telemarketers are brutal this year.

Don't believe so. I use Truecaller. For my "land line", I use VOIPo, best service around. You can link it to Nomorobo and also block calls on your own, setting up incoming numbers to get a busy signal, go directly to voice mail, or get a "disconnected" message. Depending on your mobile service, you might give Nomorobo a try. If it will link to your service, and if Nomorobo detects that an incoming call is spam, your phone will ring once and stop.

I'll second Nomorobo. I was getting upwards of 10 calls a day on my landline and once I went to Nomorobo, they dropped to practically zero. Nomorobo requires call forwarding so all calls go their server and the ones in their database are blocked. The bad news is they now still offer landline free, but the only other option is landline + mobile is $4.99 a month.
I personally use AVG Mobile Security on my phone that I purchased while they had their mobile version on sale. It does block all calls that you manually enter into the app. The bad news is those companies just change their number to a new number once you block them. I received a call the other day from myself, showing my own number.

Block Calls:

Open the apps drawer
Launch “Contacts”
Go to “All contacts” and select the contact you want to block
Tap “Edit” > “Menu”
Turn on “All calls to voicemail”

Unblock Calls:

Launch “Contacts”
Go to “All contacts”
Select the contact you want to unblock
Tap “Edit” > “Menu”
Turn off “All calls to voicemail”

I've seen that solution but, IMHO, that's really a pseudo-solution, since you have to have the phone number in your contacts list to invoke blocking. I think what's being asked for here is to block a number either as it's coming in (with something recognizing it as spam) or with a number that was received without having to add it to the contact list.
