Why in the world is Verizon's LG G4 missing the "Call Reject" controls? I found it in stock LG G4s, and I found it on T-Mobile's G4.

Because it's a feature included with Family Base, a $5 a month subscription.  Yeah.  I agree. 

IT wasnt removed from my Note.

a free option you can use the 90 day 'temporary' block and apply to all lines on your account. then do it again on the 91st day for another 90 days. who is on the committee that makes decisions for usability and customer satisfaction??? this is a FAIL on both categories.

When the phone included a call reject function, it's annoying.

the work-around is to create a contact called "unknown" and have all calls from "unknown" go straight to voicemail.  every time you get a nuisance call, add the number to the "unknown" contact phone numbers list.

Hi- I do get calls from UNKNOWN but that doesn't necessarily mean I want all of them to go straight to voicemail. Some UNKNOWNS are good to answer, like a school calling to tell me my kid is hurt and the number that call displays is not the schools primary number.  suggested workaround is useable but flawed. Sigh...

This work around only blocks repeat callers.  They have to be added to the contact "unknown" one by one.  (You can call tho contact anything you want - nuisance, annoying, GRRRR). 

The number is hidden, but still individual to each phone caller.

if a new unknown call comes in, it will still ring through until you add it to the existing contact list.

so if your doctor calls, his number may not appear, but will ring through because you haven't added him to the rejected contact.  

IF Fred's replacement siding calls for the second time, his number is in the unknown caller contact, so will go to VM.
