Hello,

I have set-up several profile/task in terms of receiving calls/messages etc.
While doing so I have set-up for Testing purpose in one profile the command:
.......
----> Call Block <---- (Number Match=optional which means all)

in a second stage I have changed this "Optional" into one specific number

However ... I have disabled above profile...BUT ALL OUTGOING CALLS are getting rejected with the help toast message: "blocked by pattern *"

I have already back-up / re-install a previous setting of tasker profiles, but same....

I only can disable Tasker completely to get rid of this ...........

How can I disable Call Block????? and / or where are the settings stored in general? (Android)

looking forward your support

Read the user guide...

Call Block

Block outgoing calls to the specified matched number(s).

If no Number is specified, all calls will be blocked.

If Info is checked, all diversions and blocks will be displayed after the action.


"To stop blocking, use Call Revert."


Note: you can't block *and* divert a particular pattern.

Matching occurs in the same way as for event contexts, see the Event Edit Activity help page.

Examples:

0193* - any number starting with 0193

12345/56789 - either of the numbers 12345 or 56789

I have found a previous entry here:

Go in to tasker and then menu > more > run action > select Call Revert action. Press back button several times. That will execute the action and cancel the call block.

seems problem below solved...... correct me if there is a better and/or additional way .....

cheers
