No blacklist?

[Roland_R]

Where is the blacklist for calls or texts on the Z5?

There is no blacklist for texts. For contacts, you can edit them and send all calls to voicemail.

Very sad to have not a blacklist also for text....every phone now have it

There are 3rd party apps for that. You can also forward your suggestion to Sony by writing to your Local support.

How do you send a number direct to voicemail? I've tried saving it to contacts but can't find any option to then send to voicemail.

Cheers

@Morayjohny First, tap on the pencil to edit a contact, then tap on the 3 dots in the right corner, check all calls to voicemail.

Hi Roland_R,

Welcome to the community,

You should also contact your network carrier, some actually supply Blacklisting directly through your account.

With the preinstalled app Hangouts it's also possible to block SMS messages but you need to use this app for messages instead of our standard app in this case. Open Hangouts -> [menu] -> Settings -> SMS -> SMS disabled to select Hangouts for SMS. You can then block numbers under Hangouts -> [menu] -> Settings -> SMS -> Blocked contacts.

Don't u think to introduce a function like these on CALLS and SMS proprietary apps ?

So we avoid incompatibility

Call blocking is supported by our app but to block SMS, you currently need to use a 3:rd party app such as Google Hangouts. Support for blocking SMS has been forwarded as feedback but i'm afraid i don't know when or if this will be supported by our messaging app.
