Phone The apps


If you check ‘Unknown’ then all calls from anyone who is not
listed in your contacts will automatically be rejected. Be careful if
you do this as some companies and establishments’ numbers are
never displayed. If you would like to add a specific number to the
blacklist then tap Create and add a number. Tap the photo icon
to search call logs or contacts for a specific number, or just type a
number into the box. Finally, tap Save to activate your blacklist.


Set auto-reject text
Sometimes a call comes in and you are interested in talking to that
particular person, but you just can’t take the call immediately for
whatever reason. However, it is possible to let them know you are
interested in talking rather than just sending their call directly to
voicemail. Your Galaxy lets you set up text messages that you can
easily send out as you are rejecting a call.
Once again, press the Menu button to bring up the options and
then choose Call Settings. Tap Set reject messages. There are several
template messages already in the system but you can easily add
personalised ones by tapping Create. When a call comes in you can
then reject it by sending a pre-written text message.

2 Reject the call When you reject a
call, select a specific message to let
the caller know you can’t answer.
