Block unwanted calls or SMS text messages with Mr. Number Android App

Recently, I received an unwanted text message from an unknown caller and I was unable to block them with the stock applications I have in my Android phone, then I found this Android app "Mr. Number: Text, Call & Block" (Google Play Android Apps link). After you install the app, you can retrieve the calls or text messages and block the callers easily.

Besides block the callers, Mr. Number has the following features, one good feature I like is identifying the private callers:

* One history: See all your calls, SMS and MMS messages in one place
* Blocklist: Block calls, SMS, and MMS from one person, an area code, or the world
* Caller ID: Always know who is trying to reach you with crowd-sourced Caller ID
* Availability: Let contacts know when you are free for a call and when you are tied up
* Signature: Create your own Caller ID profile and use it to sign your texts too

How to use Smiley the right way in Google+

If you use lot of smileys like me in Google+, then use this smiley :) instead of this :-). When you add two or more smileys with the latter, the sentence between the two smileys gets a strike through like the above example.

This is because, you can get a strike through with just the dashes alone between the sentences or words. e.g. -Google- (no space between the dashes, the word gets a strike through in Google+.

There are also other Google+ hacks, you can add a * at the beginning and at the end to make the sentence or the word bold (e.g. *Google*) or you can add a _ at the beginning and at the end to make the sentence or the word in italics (e.g. _Google_)
