Block incoming calls

I would like to know how to block incoming calls so that I can avoid the notifications, I never answer my phone anyway.

I have tried Samsung's Do Not Disturb, but that does not work when you are actively using your phone.

Airplane mode won't work because I need mobile data.

Do you really want to BLOCK all incoming calls?  Or simply not hear them?  You can silence the ringer.  Or send all incoming calls straight to voicemail - important calls will leave a message, others you will not see a missed call or a voicemail.

This originated with not wanting the pop up notification for calls.

Sending straight to vm would work also as i keep my vm full so they cant

leave messages.

Just leave the phone on silent, and ignore it.  Calls will go to voicemail. 

If you want to avoid the screen showing the incoming call, a third party app may help.

Yea i don't think you read my first post.

The issue is that i am using my phone and the pop up notification comes up

and blocks 1/4 of the screen.

Silence and ignoring are not a solution.
