Question:

What is the best method to configure a Samsung phone to accept calls only from a selected list of contacts?

Answer:

If you want to limit the incoming calls on your Samsung phone to only a few specific numbers, you can use the

Do Not Disturb mode and the Priority Callers

feature. These settings will allow you to block all calls except from the contacts that you choose. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the

Settings app on your Samsung phone and tap on Sounds and vibration

.

2. Tap on

Do not disturb

and toggle it on. You can also set a schedule for when you want this mode to be active, such as during the night or when you are busy.

3. Tap on

Allow exceptions and select Custom

. This will let you customize what types of notifications and calls you want to allow or block when Do not disturb is on.

4. Tap on

Calls and select From contacts only

. This will block all calls from unknown numbers and callers who are not in your contacts list.

5. Tap on

Contacts and select Priority callers only

. This will allow only the contacts that you mark as priority to call you when Do not disturb is on.

6. To mark a contact as priority, open the

Contacts app and tap on the contact that you want to allow. Tap on the Edit icon and then tap on the Star

icon. This will add the contact to your priority list. You can repeat this for any other contacts that you want to allow.

7. You can also add a contact to your priority list directly from the call log. Tap on the

Phone app and tap on the Recent tab. Tap on the contact that you want to allow and then tap on the Star

icon.

By following these steps, you can configure your Samsung phone to accept calls only from a selected list of contacts. This can help you avoid unwanted calls and interruptions, and focus on the calls that matter to you.
