App: Mr. Number by WhitePages

For: All Android phones

Price: Free

There are many apps that work on both Android and iPhone or at least you can find similar apps that accomplish the same task for either operating system. However, if you want or need state-of-the-art number (call) blocking, it is best to use an Android phone. Unfortunately, the iPhone operating systems are not conducive to most call blocking techniques. For Android users who desire to block unwanted calls and texts, do reverse lookup for mobile and landline numbers, stop spam and telemarketers, and much more, there is a great app called Mr. Number. According to industry publications, this app is one of the best and most popular Android apps, and is considered to be the most powerful call blocker and text blocker currently available. Mr. Number is simple to use and allows you do to a variety of things to filter incoming calls and texts. For example, calls can be blocked from entire area codes, select businesses, individual persons, and numbers you don't recognize. Calls and texts from private or unknown numbers can be intercepted automatically. The contents of blocked texts can be trashed or the content can be saved. Another nice feature is the free Caller ID lookup that Mr. Number performs when you receive a call from a business line offering information about the company. Most everyone wants to block a call or text from time to time and now with an Android smartphone, it's a snap with the Mr. Number app.
