How to Block Robocalls on Android: Stop the Calls, Start the Cash Flow

Android users, you've got OPTIONS. Let's make them profitable options.

Android gives you more control over spam calls than iPhone. More customization. More blocking features.

But here's what Google WON'T tell you: The best "blocking" strategy is one that pays YOU.

Let me show you how to stop robocalls on Android AND turn frustration into profit...

Method 1: Google's Built-in Call Screening (The Free Way)

Enable Call Screen (Pixel phones):

1. 1. Open Phone app → Settings → Spam and Call Screen
2. 2. Turn ON "See caller & spam ID"
3. 3. Turn ON "Filter spam calls"

Google's Call Screen assistant can:

• • Answer calls for you
• • Ask who's calling and why
• • Provide real-time transcripts
• • Auto-decline likely scams

What's great: Free, built-in, and actually pretty smart

What's not: Only works on Pixel phones, doesn't make you money

For Samsung Phones:

1. 1. Open Phone app → More (3 dots) → Settings
2. 2. Block numbers → Turn ON "Block spam and scam calls"
3. 3. Bixby can screen calls (if you enable it)

For Other Android Phones:

Most Android phones have basic blocking in the Phone app:

• • Recent calls → Long press number → Block/report spam
• • Settings → Blocked numbers → Add numbers manually

Method 2: Carrier-Based Blocking (The Official Way)

AT&T - ActiveArmor (Free/Premium)

• • Free: Fraud call alerts
• • Premium ($3.99/month): Spam call blocking, reverse number lookup

Verizon - Call Filter ($2.99-$7.99/month)

• • Spam detection and blocking
• • Caller ID for unknown numbers
• • Personal spam list

T-Mobile - Scam Shield (Free/Premium)

• • Free: Scam ID and Scam Block
• • Premium ($4/month): Enhanced caller ID, voicemail-to-text

Google Fi - Automatic spam blocking (Free)

• • Built-in spam protection
• • Suspected spam calls labeled automatically

Method 3: Third-Party Blocking Apps (The Crowded Market)

Popular Android Spam Blockers:

Truecaller (Free with ads, $2.99/month premium)

• • Huge crowdsourced database
• • Identifies unknown callers
• • Privacy concerns (shares your data)

Hiya ($2.99/month)

• • Clean interface
• • Good caller ID
• • Better privacy than Truecaller

RoboKiller ($4.99/month)

• • Fun "Answer Bots" mess with scammers
• • Effective blocking
• • Most expensive option

Should Not Answer (Free)

• • Community-reported spam numbers
• • Completely free
• • Less effective than paid options

Method 4: The Profitable Android User's Strategy

Here's what smart Android users discovered in 2025:

Step 1: Use Android's Superior Documentation

Android gives you MORE data than iPhone:

• • Detailed call logs (exportable)
• • Call recording (legal in many states)
• • More robust screenshot tools
• • Better third-party app integration

Step 2: Install DNCme's Android App

Our Android app takes advantage of Android's openness:

• • Auto-log ALL spam calls (no manual entry)
• • Export evidence packages
• • Identify real callers behind spoofed numbers
• • Built-in call recording (where legal)
• • Real-time settlement value tracker

Step 3: Let Calls Through Temporarily

I know, sounds backwards. But each documented violation = $500-$1,500.

60-90 days of documentation typically yields 40-80 violations with potential legal remedies available.

Step 4: File TCPA Claims

DNCme connects you with Android-familiar TCPA lawyers who know how to use Android evidence effectively.

Step 5: Collect, Then Block Aggressively

After settlements come through, turn on every blocking feature Android offers. Your number will be flagged as litigious by then anyway.

Android-Specific TCPA Advantages:

Advantage #1: Call Recording

In one-party consent states, Android makes call recording easy:

• • Google Phone app has built-in recording (Pixel phones)
• • Third-party apps like ACR work great
• • Audio evidence = stronger cases = bigger settlements

Advantage #2: Better Data Export

Android lets you export call logs as CSV files. Courts and lawyers LOVE this.

Advantage #3: More Device Options

Old Android phone lying around? Turn it into a dedicated "spam call collector" while using your main phone normally.

Advantage #4: Tasker/Automation

Tech-savvy Android users can automate spam call documentation entirely using Tasker or similar apps.

Android Users and TCPA Documentation:

Android users have several advantages when documenting TCPA violations:

Common Android User Experience:

• • Built-in call blocking often insufficient
• • Third-party apps provide limited relief
• • Carrier-based solutions help but don't eliminate calls
• • Calls continue despite multiple blocking methods

Legal Documentation Approach:

• • Temporarily disable blocking to document violations
• • Use Android's superior call logging features
• • Enable call recording where legally permitted
• • Document violations over extended period
• • Work with legal professionals to pursue remedies

Potential Outcomes:

• • Legal action against violating companies
• • Potential compensation for harassment
• • Significant reduction in unwanted calls
• • Long-term protection through legal precedent

Android's call recording feature can provide valuable evidence in jurisdictions where it's legally permitted.

Android Settings for Maximum Evidence Collection:

Optimize Your Android for TCPA Documentation:

1. Enable Call Recording (If Legal)

• • Check your state laws first!
• • Google Phone: Settings → Recording → Turn ON
• • Or use apps like ACR, Cube Call Recorder

2. Enable Call Log Backup

• • Settings → Google → Backup → Turn ON Call history
• • Evidence preserved even if phone dies

3. Take Screenshots Frequently

• • Power + Volume Down = screenshot on most Androids
• • Document every spam notification

4. Use Screen Recording

• • Quick Settings → Screen Recorder
• • Capture the entire call experience

Android vs iPhone for TCPA Cases:

Android Advantages:

• ✓ Call recording capability
• ✓ Better data export options
• ✓ More customization and automation
• ✓ Can use old phones as dedicated collectors

iPhone Advantages:

• ✓ Timestamps more trusted by courts
• ✓ Less fragmentation (easier for lawyers)
• ✓ Better carrier integration

Verdict: Slight edge to Android for TCPA cases IF you use call recording. Otherwise, they're roughly equal.

Common Android User Questions:

Q: Is call recording really legal?
A: Depends on your state. 38 states are "one-party consent" (legal). 12 require "two-party consent" (check your state laws).

Q: Will spam calls slow down my phone?
A: No. It's just calls and call logs. Your phone handles thousands of those with no issue.

Q: Can I use my work phone for this?
A: Check company policy first. But technically yes - TCPA protects cell numbers regardless of who pays the bill.

Q: What about dual SIM phones?
A: Perfect! Document on both numbers, double the violations, double the settlements.

Q: Does Android version matter?
A: DNCme works on Android 8.0+. Newer versions have better built-in features, but older works fine.
