Blocked numbers transfer

[Anderson44]

I have recently upgraded handset from an old Lumia 650 to a Samsung model. Within this old Lumia, there were a lot of nuisance numbers saved somewhere in a blocked numbers list. I would like to know whether these blocked numbers can be transferred to a block list in the Samsung. I'm already getting nuisance calls that I'm having to add to a new block list on a case by case basis. Any suggestions? Thanks

I think you'd have to add them manually to your contacts list and block them.

Thanks for the incredibly prompt response, is there any way i can view the list on the Lumia 650 to enable me to manually add the numbers to the Samsung, rather than having to receive a nuisance call then block the number afterwards? I've searched in several settings in the Lumia and can't find anything.

I haven't had a Lumia for a long time so can't remember if it was on that phone or not, but try swiping left or right in your contacts app to see if the blocked list comes up.

However, chances are that the same number won't call you twice anyway as they know everyone blocks numbers these days and just keep changing their numbers they call from.

HI @Anderson44

I had to dig out my old faithful Lumia 1520 to check this but :

If you need to view your blocked numbers on the Lumia phones



Tap “Phone” on the Start screen
Go to “History” and tap “Menu”
Tap “Blocked calls” > “Menu”
Tap “Blocked list”
