Barring Calls:

NOTE: You can bar all, or only certain certain categories of outgoing or incoming calls, using the phone's default features. Keep in mind that when you use the call barring function for the first time, you will be required to enter your PUK, and a new password in order to activate the feature. To bar incoming / outgoing calls:

  1. Tap the "Apps" icon located on the home screen
  2. Open "Settings"
  3. Tap "Call settings" > "Select SIM card"
  4. Choose a SIM card and tap "Call barring"
  5. Select an option and then enter your password
  6. Tap "Enable"

Blocking Calls Using Third Party Apps:

While the Xperia C doesn't offer a lot of options in terms of call blocking, you can install various applications such as "Call Blocker", "Call Blacklist" or "Call Control", in order to expand the range of blocking options. These apps (and similar) offer the ability to block messages, view call logs, password protect the app, get notifications and more.
