Block outgoing call to one number

[SultanOfSwing]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any way to block an outgoing call or text to a specific number?

A friend of mine is struggling to lay off a certain substance and I thought this method would work well.

However I cant for the life of me find an app or a setting within android that will allow this.

Seems to be a great opportunity for someone to create an app that does this and password protects it but so far it doesn't look like it exists.

Any ideas?

Not the question asked, but surely if he is desperate he will just borrow/buy/blag another sim/phone?

Number of a drug dealer? Just give the number to plod. It will soon be dumped.

Don't know the number myself, but if I get it, absolutely.

Just delete the number out of his phone?

Then as mentioned earlier, he'll just use a landline or any other persons phone.

Maybe, but I still think putting this hurdle in the way is a good idea.

No one knows of a way to do it? Shame as it seems so simple! It must not exist.

Addicts don’t behave rationally and he may become more upset with you...

As you are his friend, try talking to a drug charity for advice?

Has your friend OK'd this?

Had I of found a method, a conversation would have taken place before its implementation.

Has he ok'd my research? No. And I don't feel bad about that, not one iota.

Sorry. I wasn’t saying you were wrong for trying to help a mate out. You are absolutely doing the right thing in trying to help.
