- mikestew 8y agoI've seen that, but doesn't it take SMS/iMessages with it? IOW, I won't be notified of messages no matter who sends it? Regardless, it's just phone calls I want to block, I don't get enough spam SMS to care about who is sending it. I guess I'm going to have to fiddle around with when the wife gets home and gather some empirical evidence.
- stock_toaster 8y ago> I've seen that, but doesn't it take SMS/iMessages with it? Indeed it does, which makes it a non-solution for me. I apparently have the same desire you do - an option for voice calls to go direct to voicemail unless they are in my favorites list, without having to use the more general Do Not Disturb mode.
- mdhen 8y agoOn Samsung phones you can allow texts from noon contact numbers even if you are blocking calls. You also can allow any alarms through.
- charlesju 8y agoThis is only partially true on iOS. It doesn't take into account when you're using the phone, then it just lets everything through. Which is SUPPERRRRR annoying.
- jackvalentine 8y agoThat’s one of the options you can flip in the settings.
- charlesju 8y agoOh cool that seems new? I turned it on.
- c1sc0 8y agoI go a step further and turn off all notifications. I’ll just periodically check the Phone app to see if anyone called & call back.
