The Samsung Replenish doesn't feature a native app or option for blocking phone calls from private, blocked or restricted numbers. As an Android smartphone, however, it does have access to a number of third-party solutions designed to block these irritants, among other troublesome callers. In order to block these calls, you'll need to download one of these third-party apps. In most cases, these apps are free with paid premium versions available.
