Call Blocking program?

Anyone know of any good call blocking programs for the kaiser? preferably free?
thanks
jb

Google for a program called Call Firewall. I use it on both my Kaiser and my Wizard and it works very well.

I like smartblock it does both phone calls and SMS messages.

I've used Call Firewall but I don't like how it lets my phone ring once then silences it and it doesn't give me the option to block private and unknown numers. I can't remember if it lets me block by area codes though, but I need that for the stupid 866 and 888 numbers that call at 7am.

Is this program free?

SmartBlock d/l and installed. But is not going into effect. I did some reading and it says it only supports 2003 and WM5. Any suggestions for those who use SmartBlock?

Yeah it seems like finding a good call blocking program is quite a bit harder than it should be. I tried a bunch of them then settled on this one.
call block
It does cost money ($10). It's not quite perfect but it works pretty well.

Hi
i tried lots of programs, and for me the best call blocking program is magicall.....but unfortunately is not free.
On tytnii it works like a charm.

Hmm, I've never had the problem with it ringing my phone once before it blocks it. I have an ex blocked and she used to call me about 10 times a day and it never rang once.
Also, I'm not sure what version of call firewall your using, but it has the option to reject unknown/private calls right on the first page on mine. I'm using version 1.2. And, if you go to menu and then black list options and choose the pattern option it allows you to block calls starting with a certain number such as 866 or 888.

Thanks for the link Mex, but unfortunately I got it to work and I thought it would be the one I was looking for but after you turn it on it will block the numbers you wish not to pick up BUT when you go to make a call, a popup comes and says something like "sorry you are un able to make this call right now either there is no signal or the number you are trying to dial isn't a verified number, please try later. Have you ran into this problem?

Thanks. I must've had the 1.1 which didn't have the private/unknown numbers and such. I will give it a shot. Hopefully they config the program to go straight to vmail like SmartBlock does and doesn't even show up on your device call logs but only in SmartBlocks history log.
Going to test out Call Firewall right now, I will report back.
jb

magicall works amazing! it is indeed the best.

For me the best blocking sw is NOVOSEC's smartfilterpro. Unfortunately it doesn't work in wm6.

I was using Call SMS blocker. Not free but work excellent.

Just wanted to resurrect this thread to say I tried Smartblock and MagiCall (didn't try Call Firewall due to the one ring delay) and found that:
- Smartblock had a one ring delay before blocking while MagiCall doesn't.
- MagiCall has the option to answer and then immediately hang up, meaning the offending number gets charged for the call!
For those two points alone, MagiCall is about to get my business. I also found the option when making a rule to choose whether you get notified about events or not.
Thanks for putting me on to this program.

I have been using SPB Phone Suite which also has this feature, though I have yet to use it. It supports Black Lists, White Lists and no CallerID. I just turned it on for PrivateID- I'll let you know how well it works.

SMS Notification periodic

Hello,
Before my Diamond I had a Motorola v3 Razr. The Razr did give a sms notification every minute or so. When I received a sms, it gives notifications until i read the SMS. The Diamond only flashes the led light. Is it possible to let the Diamond vibrate every 3 minutes or so when there is an unread SMS?
Thnx in advance

Anybody an idear?

settings/personal/sound and notifications/sound (events and notifications on)
settings/personal/sound and notifications/notifications (go look for mms/sms, check "play sound", check "display message on screen", check "vibrate" or choose any combination).
now say thank you and go ...RTFM! (Read The F... Manual) before you post.
i also recommend a search on the forum. don't be lazy...

A bit rude and not even an answer for his question......
He is looking for REPEATED notifications......something SPBPhoneSuite can do for example. There may be other programs out there for the same purpose, don´t know of any freeware, though....

1. sorry you think so. don't get it ...what's rude? my 2 last recommendations?
2. the notification stays on the screen until you dismiss it, so why repeat? as a matter of fact i am not so sure it is not repeating...
i do know for sure that reminders do repeat so i can guess that all notifications are repeating.

i think he is looking for repeated sound notifications.

I'm very sorry when i offended some of you with my question, but the last post sums it all up. I'm looking for a repeating sound/vibration notification. I will try SPBPhoneSuite, but i'm not font on installing an whole " heavy" program for such small things. So when there is an alternative...please let me know

http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=368137Kukuriku - arrogance and rudeness are sometimes difficult to distinguish, but both are bad.

I did a freeware solution - DmsisAlert
Hi, i did a simple application that works on Windows Mobile 5 or superior (.Net CF 3.5 is a requirement).
To download go to DmsisAlert page and click on DmsisAlert link, unzip, tranfer the .cab file and install. If you like (or not), i will appreciate some feedback (you can do that on download page).
With Diamond is a good idea not to use the minimize functionality because after that there is no way to get interface back (allthough it still running on the background). I will work on a solution for that (i'm busy enjoying my new phone ).
hope that can help, helps me a lot

Hi dmoreira,
I like your thoughts about the program. I tryed it, but it gave an error. Nullexeception or something...

Thanks for trying... the program requirements are: Windows Mobile 5 or superior and .Net CF 3.5. I tested on WM5 and WM6.1 (Kaiser and Diamond) and run ok for me. Maybe you device are missing some requirement?!

Dude, try Best Reminder:
http://best-reminder.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
It ain't freeware, but its light and does the job perfectly every time.
I did use SPB phonesuite before, and I found it heavy with other features I don't need. Also, the damn thing didn't work at times!

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=sms+reminder+vibrate
and free, always check the 'Development and Hacking' forum

@dmoreira: What requirement can that be? I have an stock diamond, with latest romupdate en .Net CF 3.5?
@MasK: That's i very nice program. I tested it, and it does the job except for the vibrating!
@badaas: That's another very nice program. I also tested this one and it works perfect. Except that it turns on the screen with every reminder... And you have to reboot the device to configurate it again...

Ok it works just fine! Very nice program! But if i can say 3 things about it:
- The minimize function still doesn't work to well
- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way
- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?
thnx!

before anything thanks for trying my work... about your comments:
"- The minimize function still doesn't work to well" : You're correct, but in others devices without TouchFlo3D the minimize works a lot better. With TouchFlo3D this feature practically doen'st work (i believe that's the same for other applications that have a minimize function that puts an Icon in the Today Screen).
"- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way": A fix for that will be available very soon
"- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?": It's possible but i dont like the result of doing this with the easiest way, so this feature will be available not so soon (but i will adivise here when so).
I will make some changes and post here a new version with some improvements.
Thanks again for trying.

I like testing this program, because it meets almost my exact criteria for such a program! Nice work!
- That minimize function is a pity, but understandable with the TF3D thing!
- Ok if you can fix that 'delete programs' issue, that would be very nice. I don't have a clue how i can properly delete it now!
- I will wait on a fix for the vibrating! That would be very nice!
Keep up the good work!
Thnx!

Hi Rik_X, after a lot of work (i posted the issue in different forums, but got no answer) trying finding a correct solution to uninstall and i ended downloading SkTools (i downloaded from here http://www.clickapps.com/download.htm?pvid=1324) and use a feature called Installed Programs and then Dmsis Alert was listed and i was able to uninstall it!! After that i install the version attached here and then the Dmsis Alert will appear again in the Windows Mobile Remove Program list. Sorry about the troubles that error could cause you.
Anyway i'm posting the last version the doesn't have this uninstall issue. I'm also working on the vibrate feature (still looking a direct interop way to do that).

Notification when SMS [not mms] is sent...gone

Notification when SMS [not mms] is sent...now gone [not request message delivery]
Had it before flashing to latest genuine Hong Kong rom...but now gone...not in notifications as a setting....any ideas please

Yes me too, I have flashed mine with a few different roms and I have never had it make a sound, I don't need it really but it is just peace of mind when it makes a sound that the SMS is send especially considering it is a phone running a Microsoft operating system... you never really know if everything works as you expect.

what do you need it for? if the SMS is not sent, you get an error message...
Believe me - for years I was used to getting those messages, but then i tried disabling them, a wow, so much better.

If you go to http://duttythroy.net/index.php
and download Diamond_Tweak_0.2_EN.cab
this has an option to turn sms sent notifications on ....

so people have been moaning for years about this error message, indeed it seems to have been one of the most hated parts of Windows mobile, and now that HTC finally get rid of it, people want it back.
Don't take this personally, but FFS!
**Bangs head against wall!**
I'm glad i'm getting out of technical support!
But yeah, if you want it back (for whatever reason) you can also use Schaps advanced config tool (Search, search and search again) to put it back.

Thanks
Thanks...much appreciated

hey
used the cab to turn back on my notifications - but dont seem to be able to get rid of the annoying sound that accompanies it. Its not listed in the sounds/notifications settings.
Im wondering of there s a simple reg hack to disable the noise.
cheers

HELP PLEASE!!!!! need to block or silence Restricted/private calls

PLEASE HELP me to block private/restricted calls on my HTC FUZE. I have a person calling me with private and or restricted number all night long...at least 40-50 times through out the night. on my HTC tilt I could set a no ring tone sound for the unknown calls....in the HTC fuze I don't see such option. I installed call firewall on it today and now its blocking ALL my calls
sorry If this is already answered but could not find a solution when searching the site...
any help would be much appricieated.....
Thanks

Which version of Call Firewall are you using? Is it v1.4?
If so there should be an option to "Reject Unknown / Private Calls". This should work for you, but no gaurantees.

I have the 1.4 version but it blocks all my calls
I have the 1.4 version but it blocks all my calls ...when i tried setting it to unknown / blocked calls it still blocks all my calls! =(
I called att&t and they won't do a thing...

Put a blank sound file on your phone. Put the person in your contacts, set the rington as the blank sound file.

It is unknown. You can't put that into your phonebook.

<I fail at reading.

I am using CallFirewall 1.4 and it works great on my Rapahel. All unknown calls got rejected. Maybe you should jsut reinstall Callfirewall program.

Have you tried SPB Phone Suite? I am using it although I don't use the Call filter function.
But I checked what it offers and you can add Private Callers to blacklist.
There should be trial version of SPB PS on their website... Maybe you can try it if you don't mind to pay a few bucks eventually.

Try MagiCall
I use magiCall by mobiion here is the link: http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html I have used it for at least 4 years and it works wonders. While it's isn't free the developers supports it fully provides free updates for minor releases. It has a lot of options as well and there is a 15 day free trial.

You could use YouMail to do this. It's a voice mail service for your phone that allows you to block particular callers as well.

I am using the call firewall 1.4. However I still get 1 ring before it rejects them. It also tends to block any number that is NOT private/restricted. For example I make a call from my home (unblocked) to the mobile phone...it starts ringing but won't let me answer the call =(
What settings are you guys using on the call firewall? may be I am doing something wrong...
I have the reject unknown/private calls checked.....

MagiCall RULES!
I just installed the free trial of MagiCall and it works like a champ :=) I don't get my normal calls rejected and it actually rejects the blocked numbers with out a single ring....
I WISH IT WAS FREE! any one has a copy to spare

call firewall automatically shutdow in touch pro
i am using call firewall 1.4 on my touch pro and after i minimize it, i suppose it hide and keep running behind.
i leave the "Do not show in 'Running Program'" uncheck, so i am suppose to see it's running in the task manager all the times, right?
but it seems that call firewall sometime will automatically shutdown and disappear from the tasks manager. sometime is after i turn on the media player, sometime is after i turn on the youtube link.
the worse things is, this shutdown does not occur consistencely.
does anyone of the experienced user can tell me do they get similar issue on their touch pro/fluz with call firewall?
i did contact with HTC but they cannot help me because i cannot explicitely tell them how and when the software will shut down.
i want to see may be it is due to i am just not too familiar with the machine. or there are someother treak that is i don't know.
this also happen with both SPB GPRS Monitor and the SPB wireless Monitor.
those are also program i need to run at the background consistenly.

I found that Mobiion is co-operating with TrialPay. If you don't know much about TrialPay, you may search it on the internet.
You are able to get MagiCall for free by doing a TrialPay purchase. Just open the product page http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html, and then close the page, a window will pop up displaying a purchase button to make TrialPay purchase and get MagiCall for free.
Hope it can help you.

Thanks for the info. Just did this. Worked like a charm. I signed up for a free trial of emusic.com and now Mobiion will be sending me a registration key within 24 hour. Instead of $24 this ended up costing nothing. All I have to do is log into my emusic account and cancel the trial tomorrow without being charged anything.

True Working SMS/Call for Touch Pro?

I've tried heaps (got like 30 in my start menu), done many searches... Tired of heresay and finding out none really work. I want to easily block people off my touch pro. Anyone have a working version of anything?
Answer(credit to mtem1985): Magicall http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html It's a great little program, can block calls/sms with auto delete, logging, notifications, etc... it can even send a message back to your harrasser like "I told you there is more fish in the sea" or just "You Are Blocked"
Pretty cool, suited my needs perfect.

Here Here! I had the mistake of giving a guy at work my cell number because he "needed a favor" thinking he needed me to work for him and just to find out he wanted to bug me and talk about absolutely nothing. EVERY SINGLE DAY! And it doesn't matter if I yell at him at work and not respond ever to his messages. He still manages to text me all the time a couple times a day! HELP SOMEONE!

Nobody knows of a working one eh?

i've used magicall in the past,
Worked great for me. give it a try

Works perfect, thanks man.

hey there~
i am fairly certain that the free call firewall has all those abilities. i use it to automatically route certain callers to vm. you can auto reply to blocked call via sms if u want. you can specify a black list for calls and sms and even add a blocked call to a reminder list!
hope that helps
~j

Here you go. Hope this helps your problems out.. Good luck

Ur welcome
I've given my phone number to some people that i shouldn't give to, so in need of a program that could solve this problem for me, i've come across this one.
back in the times when i used winmo 6.1 you could set the app to block incoming calls, and sms and it wouldn't even show an icon that something happend. the only way to know if this person tried to call you or text you, you should go into the logging area
