does anyone know of a program to block numbers from calling, i have call firewall but but i cant just block one number, and thats what i wanna do
I thought on CallFirewall you just selected 'Black List' and added the number you wanted to reject to it?
Works for me!
SPB Phonesuite allows call blocking using either a blacklist or whitelist. It also has a ton of additional features.
Spb Phone Suite has one bug in the handling of a whitelist. I have to add all phone numbers twice, with and without country code, to make it work. We don't use area codes here in Oman. Maybe this is causing problems for the program?
try magicall works perfect you can also block incomming sms or autoreply with an sms to someone you blocked.
you can block individual numbers but also you can block all incomming calls when you are in a meeting or going on a plane...
can be found at ppcwarez

IMO magicall outbeats them all.

Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
Call Firewall
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then
CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:

Good luck!
Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.
The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found
Are there any good call/number blocking apps? I'm looking for one where you can train it as you go along. IE block private calls, a strange 800 num calls and block it etc..........
Only one I know is called Call Firewall (easy to find at a dozen pocketpc freeware sites). But I don't know what you mean by "training".
The only way to block calls that I've seen implemented is to use caller id and white/black lists. Your phone will still ring at least once in order for the caller id info to come through and then the app to compare it to the rules/lists.
How else would a phone do it on it's own? It cannot preemptively (presentiently ??) allow or disallow calls?

Yup! only your Network can do that if they provide the service.
Maybe this?

spb phone suite
I have been using Magicall for more than a year now and works like a charm and with blocking sms as well as voice calls. You can even set your own criteria, number prefix, contact groups etc
Call SMS Blocker v. 2.4.1.779, Phonegate and magicall. All three are usefull for call and SMS blocking.

+1 for Magicall. It's a little expensive but it does the job perfectly. If you set it not to notify you, you won't even know it's blocked a call unless you manually check the logs.
Hello,
does someone know a (freeware) program, whick can block incoming calls and sms messages from a specific phone number?
If someone know a program which can do both, tell me. ^^
hi, inesoft adress book can do the trick, and many more. like vibrate when you dialing numbers (I disabled that anoying sound, vibrating is nicer), replace default call screen, when somebody call, you will see a big picture and big numbers etc... http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=addressbook.html

Read the ... page before compaining. from v1.3 it also blocks SMS.
Try Call SMS Blocker
use call sms blocker, very powerful program to block both calls and SMS. You need to buy it, I do not have the crack or serial.
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/csb/csb.aspx
Try MagiCall
You can set up profiles etc. And its working on Diamond.
I use MagiCall. http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
But it is not free.
i will use one of these apps....
To block call from specific number use SPB Phone Suit. however this wont block sms from the specific user. Only block incoming calls
call n sms blocking
u can use kaspersky mobile .... available on dl4all.com
da calls n sms are blocked and YOU ARE NOT NOTIFIED
I'm looking for an app that would allow me to build a blacklist of cellphone numbers and will block all SMS messages from those numbers.
Sort of like an AntiSpam for email, but without any filtering. Just a user-edited blacklist.
I've found many call blockers around the web, but nothing for SMS...
If anyone tested something of the sort, please let me know.
Thanks!
Try a search for Call Firewall.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178
direct link. Highly recommended, worked really well for a friend who was being stalked/harassed by some guy.
This is a bit of a misnomer... Call and SMS blocking software can only "block" the call or sms after it has already been received by the phone. Think about it this way - your phone doesn't know there's anything there until it's already received it. The software simply keeps the user from seeing the call or message. Bottom line - at that point - you've already paid for the text message (or been deducted one if you have a certain number included). The only option is to call your provider who *might* have the ability to stop texts or calls from specific numbers.
I propose CallMgrPro. Search in this forum.
Although it is not free I have made good experiences with MagiCall. Check out http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
you can use kaspersky mobile security, which incorporate a spam module where you can put phone number in a white/black list.
Most providers will give you 2 options:
1) Deal with it
2) Block SMS all together
aFirewall in Market now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aFirewall allows you to configure multi-scenes to block different call or SMS at different time. Its features are as below:
1. You can add black number from call log, SMS log, contacts or add it mannually;
2. You can setup aFirewall password to protect your private black list;
3. Unread blocked call log and SMS log notification;
4. Option to disable and enable aFirewall blocking notification;
I had made it free in market today. I am looking forward to your comments Thank you very much.
(Not installed yet since I have Panda Firewall installed)
Does it come with a toggle widget for SMS blockage?

There is no toggle widget in current version. This is a start for aFirewall. Many features will be added in in the near future.
Can I ask a question about this....
Does the call blocking feature block the call completely? I tried Panda but found that blocked calls would ring briefly but then go to voicemail, so I would still get notifications of missed calls. You can already block numbers with the Hero (send to voicemail in contact settings) so I found it pointless.
Does this app block calls to the point that you don't know if a blocked number has called unless you look at the log? This sort of thing is what I'm looking for.
Thanks.
Edit: Double post

Thanks for your attention. No ring and notifications of missed calls will be reported out in aFirewall. You can contact me to get a copy to make a try at first. My email is [email protected].

I have some comments:
1. It still make the notification on screen after the call (even disable notification) but did not show in the call history
2. When I block sms as "Accept contact only", it blocked all SMS from my contact people. For example, number in contact is 0902239000 and contact in SMS is +84902239000 (always show that) actually is the same but the program did not know.
3. When I block sms as "Block unknown number" then sometimes it can block the number not in the contact, sometimes could not.
4. When I block the call as "Accept contact only", it block all call from my contact
