Block All Outgoing Calls, With a Few Numbers Allowed

NoDial Editorial ／ 2026-10-06

Block All stops every call your phone makes, with up to 20 numbers you choose to still be able to reach. It uses the same four modes as per-number blocking, needs Premium Unlimited, and turns on or off immediately.

1. Turning it on

On the Home screen, the entry point is a button labeled "Block all calls / allow only a few" (marked "Premium Unlimited"). Tapping "Turn on" opens the same rule picker used everywhere else in NoDial.

2. The same four modes, applied to everything

Block All reuses the exact picker described in Choosing how to block a number — Always, Set specific hours, Limit calls, or Confirm before calling — except instead of applying to one number, the choice applies to every outgoing call your phone makes. Changing the mode, hours, or limit later is always immediate, the same as for a single number.

The status line on the Home button reflects whichever mode is active — for example "Always," "[hours] · Blocking now (until [time])" when you're inside the window, or "[limit] · N call(s) left" for a quota that hasn't run out yet.

3. Allowed numbers (up to 20)

Under "Allowed numbers" — "You can still call these numbers while all outgoing calls are blocked" — you can add numbers the same way you add a number to block: type it, or pick it from your contacts, with an optional memo. A counter shows how many you've used, e.g. "3 / 20"; once you reach 20, you'd need to remove one before adding another. Additions and removals both take effect immediately, with no waiting period.

If a number you're adding is already on your regular (per-number) block list, NoDial tells you so and lets you add it anyway: "This number is also on your block list. While all outgoing calls are blocked, it can still be called."

4. What happens to your per-number list

YOUR OTHER NUMBERS AREN'T DELETED — JUST PAUSED

While Block All is on, NoDial stops checking your regular per-number rules entirely — only the Allowed numbers list from section 3 matters, and everything else, including numbers you've never added at all, is blocked. Nothing about your per-number list is changed or lost: the moment you turn Block All off, it applies again exactly as you left it. NoDial says this directly on the Home screen while Block All is active: "Your list applies again after you turn this off."

Emergency calls are the one exception that's never affected, in Block All or anywhere else in NoDial — "Emergency calls are never blocked."

5. Turning it off

Tap "Turn off." NoDial confirms: "It turns off right away. Your number list still applies." Unlike turning off blocking for a single number, there's no one-hour wait here — Block All turns off the instant you ask, every time. (This wasn't always true: older versions of NoDial applied the same one-hour delay to Block All that per-number blocking still has today; it's been immediate since then.)

6. Plan requirement

Block All, and the Allowed numbers list that comes with it, is included only with Premium Unlimited — not Premium or Premium Plus. See Plans and what each unlocks for the complete comparison.
