    1. From the home screen, tap the "Phone" icon
    2. Tap the "Keypad" tab if necessary
    3. Press the "Menu" button and tap "Call settings"

    5. Perform one of the following sets of steps:
      • To allow phone calls from a number, but keep the number in the block list: Tap the check box associated with the desired number. (Don't tap the number itself)
      • To allow calls and also remove the number from the list:
        1. Tap the "Trash can" icon
        2. Tap the desired phone number
        3. Press "Delete", and tap "Delete" a second time to confirm

    Using Applications to Block Calls:

    You can block calls using the default features offered by the Samsung TouchWiz UI, but you can also download and install various third party apps that offer blocking features, such as "Call Blocker", "Call Control" or "Call Blacklist". Most blocking apps offer numerous options, such as password protection, the ability to block text messages, whitelists, black lists, logs and more.
