Is there an app that can temporarily block brokers in my contacts?

    I would but the thing about programming is once you have a hit people will rip it off. Especially those that live in countries where the government encourages intellectual theft.

    So basically you’re accepting what’s handed to you and being a follower not an innovator.......
    You do have a lot of “unique” ideas tho, that’s for sure.

    FFS, you have been told by several people how to block a particular caller, but you want something else. Well there isn't something else, so either do it the way it has been explained to you or don't. Regardless, stop being annoying.
    Innovator...... not. PIA.... yes

    Or how about just answer once and tell the broker to stop calling you.

    I have an Android as well.

    Just go to the contact, open it up, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner & that will give you the option to block that number. You can repeat the procedure to unblock the number at anytime.
    Just FYI, AFAIK, no phones actually BLOCK the number from calling. All it does is send it to voice mail & you still have to go to voice mails to delete them. So while you don't have to speak with him, you do have to delete his voice mails. Still aggravating. The option should do what it says.... block.. the number.

    I wouldn't do business with such broker at all. Only thing that motivates me to deal with all issues with my own truck and authority is ability to make my own decisions. If I'm taking home time, that's means I'm taking home time. If I wanted someone to tell me what to do, I would get a job.
    So those block it permanently would be only choice in this case.
     
    TruckRunner Thanks this.

    Let’s not be ridiculous here.

    Why would someone act like an adult and communicate to solve their problem?
     
    SavageMuffin and Ruthless Thank this.
