## Description

**Root Call SMS Manager** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to block unwanted incoming and outgoing calls and SMS messages on Dual SIM smartphones. With support for devices running Android 4.4 and above, and enhanced system-level blocking, it ensures calls and messages are effectively managed without lighting the screen or showing dialer windows.

Key features include customizable blocking modes such as "Reject" or "Not to answer" for calls, text filtering for SMS, and support for private conversations with number replacement. Users can create and manage blacklists, whitelists, and exceptions with advanced filtering, including templates and regular expressions (full version). Additionally, the extension supports scheduling and integration with Tasker for automated list switching. Root privileges enhance functionality but are not required for Android 8+ devices.

## Review summary

Users praise strong, silent blocking of calls and texts and good compatibility with rooted setups, especially on Android 14, plus ongoing developer support. The main drawbacks are privacy/permission requirements, the kill mode causing audible ringing, licensing issues, device-specific SMS blocking problems, and intrusive notifications. Overall it is seen as a leading, feature-rich blocker with some reliability and policy caveats.

### Pros

- Highly effective at blocking calls and SMS, including silent blocking, without replacing the default messaging app.
- Good compatibility with rooted devices and LSPosed, including Android 14, offering robust blocking on custom setups.
- Strong spam and unknown-number blocking, reducing nuisance calls from non-contacts.
- Active developer support and frequent updates.
- Widely regarded as one of the most advanced call and SMS blockers on the market.

### Cons

- Privacy concerns and permission requirements, particularly Contacts, which can prevent the app from launching.
- Kill blocking mode rings briefly before blocking, causing others to hear the call.
- Licensing and license persistence issues, including not being licensed and licenses not retained after reinstall.
- SMS blocking not working on certain devices or configurations, such as some Samsung devices with LSPosed.
- Notification behavior is intrusive; users want optional or reduced notifications.
