How do I block calls from unknown numbers on Android?

Install Bouncer, make it your spam blocking app in setup, and allow contacts access. Unknown numbers stop ringing straight away. Contacts still ring.

Will I miss important calls?

Your contacts always ring. Add any other number to the allow list and it rings too. With Pro, Guest passes let a courier or a new doctor through for a day or a week.

Does Bouncer block text messages?

No. Bouncer screens phone calls only. Your SMS and messaging apps keep working as normal.

Do I need to replace my phone app?

No. Bouncer uses Android's call screening feature, so you keep your usual dialer and contacts. Blocked calls still appear in your phone's call history, marked as blocked. Bouncer also keeps its own log with more detail.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Bouncer decides on the phone itself, with no lookup in an online spam database, so call blocking keeps working offline.

Can I block calls by area code or country code?

Yes, with Pro. Ranges block every number that starts with a prefix you choose, such as +44 for a whole country or +1 212 for one area code.

Bouncer block list with a range and single numbers

Block a number, or a whole range.

Add single numbers to your block list. Or block every number that starts the same way, like +34 905.

RANGES: PRO

Bouncer spots the pattern.

If the same range or a hidden number keeps calling, Bouncer suggests a block. One tap and it's done.

Choose when it's on.

Always, overnight, in working hours or all weekend, at times you pick.

PRO

See every call it stopped.

Each blocked call shows the number, the city and the time. Look up any number on the web with one tap.

The right calls get through.

Your contacts always ring. So does anyone on your allow list, like the school or the dentist. With Pro, someone who calls 3 times in 30 minutes gets through too.

Watch the numbers grow.
