Tracfone LGL33L question

crazy4bears — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 02:33:34 GMT

Have had this LGL33L Sunset tracfone since March when I updated from a different LG tracfone. I have not been able to find on this phone a way to BLOCK callers.

Do any of you that have this phone know how to do this. I did google the manual and didn't find anything there either. May not be able to do it on this phone.

Thanks in advance!

I, too, have the same phone (love it!), and am discouraged that Tracfone does not allow call blocking. I am sure you realize that you can block texts only - go figure.

I installed a great app for approx $5 - Extreme Call Blocker. It works perfectly, and has the highest reviews on Play Store. I have over 30 calls & area codes blocked! Be careful if you download free call blocking apps, as your privacy/security could be compromised - lots of nosey bad guys out there! Another thing you could do is via your computer is set up a Google Voice account, and then forward your cell calls to that number. You then will receive an email that someone called. GVoice allows you to block numbers, but you have to go online (not the app), to block the numbers.

Hope this helps................

I use a free app called CallDetector from the Play Store. It works great for me - even telling me if the phone number is a robo-caller with a bad reputation. It just sends all suspicious calls to my voicemail.

@Mary in MO, this is not true.
I use 3 Trackfones and they are all equiped with call blocking settings. Trackfone DOES ALLOW you to block phone calls.

@crazy4bears, access to the owners manual is available online, from LG, or from Trackfone's website (assuming you have an account with them).

LG has your LGL33L specs and manual available for download on their website. I'll let you Google that up for yourself.

From what I read in your phone's specs I can't imagine a phone that sophisticated not having the basic ability to block unwanted calls.

I also found this but didnt open it.

The call blocking is usually in the individual settings for the phone app, not the general settings for the smartphone devise.
