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.

Rename smartblockppc22setup.zip to smartblockppc22setup.exe and install from your PC.

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.

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.

Are there any Standalone Answerphone Software's

Hi all,
due to the fact my provider has now started charging me for accessing voicemails and will not include voicemail access in my inclusive minutes I have turned off the voicemail answerphone on my t-Mobile MDA Vario III (Kaiser), what i'm looking for is a programto run on the PDA that will answer a call after say 45 seconds of ringing and act like an answerphone and record any messages direct to the PDA. I have searched for answerphone but without luck and the only program I can find via Google is iSecretary, but that aparantly isn't fully compatable with the Kaiser?. Has anybody got any ideas as to anything else available that will do this job, preferably free but if I have to pay for the ideal solution so be it.
Thanks

I'm afraid there is no solution, because of the limitations of the Kaiser (and many HTC devices) with the incoming sound.... (mic only)
A workaround should be available in iSecretary, recording loudspeaker -> mic, but this application crashed a lot on my Kaiser so removed it...
Also because it is not a nice solution anyway...everybody can 'enjoy' the voice message.

OK, I hurried myself to answer, it was still the leftover text making me think that the answer wasn't helpful, as seeing the thread's subject first made me hope to actually find something helpful (wondering why there isn't such an application anyway). Sorry.

According to iSecretary the TYTNII is only "half supported" but it looks it would do everything you want.
- lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires;
- plays the file to the caller;
- records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up;

check your voicemail using a landline...

I guess i'll have to try isecretary and see if it does enough to get me going, unfortunatly checking voicemail via a landline is not an option in my situation.
Thanks for all the replies so far.

just be prepared.... you will be disappointed...

I did try iSecretary and it worked on some of the calls, about 2 out of the 10 I made to my phone. And like "Optimistisch_nl" said: the callers voice is on loudspeaker while leaving the message. Also the message that I recorded to tell people to leave a message doesn't play either for the caller.
Sorry dude, I'm also still looking for something like this and will let you know if I find a solution.
# Zoolooc # Apology accepted and I also apologize for my remark.

You won't find a solution unless you buy e.g. a Nokia.....

Guys, ALWAYS check out the Wiki first. I've answered this very question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...nswering machine for Windows Mobile released!
(also see the group http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Audio and call recording, answering machines )
In a word: no, don't expect much - WinMo is, by default, pretty much useless when it comes to local (!!) nswering machines. Should you really need them, go for Symbian.

I was also told that file sharing on WM is not possible by "CLEVER" people, but hypest told me that by setting up a ftp server on the ppc you could share folders that would be visible and able to be browsed by another ppc. Now if that is not "file sharing" then lets call it "sharing files". It works just the same as normal file sharing on Windows.

You should have asked me I've even reviewed & thoroughly compared FTP clients (along with mentioning FTP servers) for Windows Mobile - search for example for 'vxFtp' in the Wiki.

Recommend that you search the forum for something like "call blocking"
There are several programs that have been discussed recently that could help you.

I think MSVoiceCommand does that already! You might want to check that out if you havent already.

VoiceCommand? I thought,it is app for some actions,those are made by my voice command. Or am I really wrong? Sorry,I never used that. Where can I find it and how to use? Sorry for this noob question,but I never used this app.
