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.

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.

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
is there a program out there for the kaiser that blocks the number from when it calls and txts?
Magicall works great i use it all the time.

and its for both? SMS and CALLS?

Yes, it works on both. It lets you automatically add prefix number in front of the original outgoing call number based on your rule. Hang up predefined outgoing numbers such as international calls. In addition, you can also take control of your incoming SMS Messages. Reply back or send an SMS to someone or launch an application when a rule is being triggered. And it can log detail information about all triggered events to the log file.
great, and where can i get the full version ?

You pay for it. ($25)
SPB Phone Suite is cheaper ($20) and then there is Call Firewall which is, err... free
Call Firewall - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178
Choice is yours.
aFirewall allows you to configure multi-scenes to block different call or SMS at different time by now. 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;
You can download from market now because it is free. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.

thanks for the apk bro, u r the man!
I had made it free today. You can download from market directly and have a try. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.
Looks like a good free app but sends the call to voice mail. Would be better if for an incoming call the phole answers then hands up. This has a two fold benifit, first the spammer is charged for phoning me and second no voice mail.
if there is an incoming call, does the app block the call instantly or will the phone rings then block?
will there be a notification of the blocked calls? coz personally i dun want to see who's call i blocked......

Yeah, I noticed that with other firewall apps too. They all send to voicemail. That's part of the standard OS if you just click "send all calls from voicemail" under the contact for that number.
I want something that blocks them, or better yet - set up a forwarding number for their individual phone#. I'd love to forward the telemarketers right back to themselves. ha.

aFirewall just endCall when the call need to be blocked. Woud you like to let me know the call will be send to voicemail automaticlly when the call was rejected in your operator? That is to say, this is a default configuration of your phone as my Nortel IP landline phone does.
I can add a feature to aFirewall to forward a call to another number when a call was rejected.
Thanks.

If a blocked call was incoming, aFirewall end it instantly and no rings. And no notification was sent to you in default configuration. But your can enable it if you want this. Thanks.
How did you go about hanging up the call on incoming. I have looked into this and from what I can see this is not in the current version of the SDK.
If you could post some code that would be awesome!
Thanks
this app does not work at all....i added a contact to black list and have it set to block both calls and sms, and im still getting the calls and messages from that person... :/
What is the best call blocking program for the aria? It needs to have a whitelist to only allow people I specify to reach me. Thanks in advanced
Not exactly a direct solution on the Aria, but doesn't Google Voice allow you to filter calls? Again, I don't know about blocking.. but at the very least you can direct calls you don't want directly to voicemail.
i actually found this option today while going through my contacts. if you actually choose a contact and view his/her contact information. there is a menu down option to automatically send that person to voicemail whenever they call. i've already set a few to that option, but have yet to test it.

I tested it today, works GREAT!!! the phone doesn't even ring they just go right to VM
i use an app called Driodblock. there is a feature in it that tells you to block all calls except for your contacts (under scene mode). i think that is what you are looking for
i use it to block telemarketers or any unknown calls, which is what it's useful for. it does however tell you that the person called, but you dont hear the ring or anything, it goes straight to voicemail. you can also set it up so that that person gets hung up on so they dont get vmail LOL
the only problem is that if you search for droidblock in the market app, it doesnt show up. you have to search under "block calls" and it'll show up.
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
I use the option under contacts if it's someone I would rather leave a voicemail than talk to.
I use an app called call filter for numbers where the caller id is unknown. It has additional options for blocking specific numbers, but I've never needed it.
I've registered my phone numbers on the national do not call registry. I don't get telemarketing calls. If I ever do receive one, I will go to that same site and report the number. I've only received two telemarketing calls in the past 4 years having my number registered there.
You could use blocking apps to help you
Some apps on the Google Play provide you esay ways to block the unwanted calls.
Such as WhosCall, Call Blcoker ,Mr Number, Caller ID and so on.
You could try it. But don't install all of them at once since it would make your phone slow.
I usually use WhosCall which can search the strange phone number and provide a easy way to block them.
Hope it could help you.
We make the two best ones - root call blocker and call master. Both in my sig. Enjoy.
