Any one knows any app for wp7 to block unwanted calls and sms.. ?
Bump. I'd like the same thing. I have blacklist on my Android phone and I love it.
There are some applications in Marketplace that would block a number depending of the prefix they're calling from, but dont see any apps for blocking specific numbers.

what is the application name to block number by prefix ?
I'd like this as well, it's the only reason I'm still on Android.

Ain't there no need for this software? I really don't understand how there is no Call Blocker App since WP7 launch.
I really need one too. I was already thinking of trying to write one myself but then again: i have a fulltime job and a life
Please dev's! Go for it! There seems to be SOME requests...
Crude work around is to add the number with a silent ringtone, not great but an option
Yea. Dumb situation.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading from a Tmobile Dash to a G1 but need to know if there is a program on the Android platform similar to the CallFirewall program on Windows where it will take an incoming call and sends it directly to voicemail if on the blacklist. It's actually a deal breaker for me as I love the flexible whitelist / blacklist options on CallFirewall.
Thanks!
How does that functionality built into the os tickle your fancy?
In every contact entry there's a checkbox that says "send calls to voicemail" it makes it so your phone doesn't ring or show the call, the missed call is in the log but no notification... and best yet to the person on the phone its as if you haven't done a thing... rings all the way to VM
there's a callblocker app on the market for free.

Yes, its by bratag =] requires root access, so root your phone before downloading.
What does that mean? Root your phone?
Also, could someone tell me how many contacts the phone will hold?
I'm leaning toward getting one.

Android is linux based and the super user account is called 'root', there is various ways to root android phones and you can even buy an ADP (Android Developer Phone) which comes by default with super user access enabled.

Android (not just G1) uses SQLite to store information and depending on ram etc it's for all intents and purpose limitless.
Cool, thanks about the contacts.
Still not sure what the root thing means, but with a built in call blocker I guess it doesn't really matter

i cant seem to find the bratag app... anyone has a clue??
is there an app that lets you receive just the calls from a whitelist and block all other?
Check this out

Works amazingly.
I also can't find bratag's call blocker on the market anymore. Does anyone still have a copy of the app?

Hello,
So I noticed today that there is a app for iPhone which actually work! to spoof the original caller's number to be shown as different number.
I don't want to do thhat myself,
What I would like to know is if there is a app which can find out the who the original caller is? in case i get a faked calls.
Thanks
There is no such thing.
It's called caller id fake on android. It was on my mytouch 3g when I bought it (was a used phone).

There is too! Do a search in Market for an app called SpoofApp. It works very well and you can change your voice in it as well. Kinda creepy but it works!

you guys didnt read the OP's question. he is NOT trying to spoof his number, but instead wants an app that can determine a spoofers REAL number (or something along those lines).
and as far as i know, its impossible. people want to be able to trace private calls all the time, but theres a reason the number is private or unlisted.

I see... I only know how to unmask blocked calls not spoofed calls.
Trapcall is a good service to use.
Does anyone know if there is a call block app that works for the Mytouch Slide that blocks anyone thats not in your address book?

I use extreme call blocker and it does exactly what your looking for and most anything you can think of. Give it a try I am sure you will like it...
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.
There's also the blacklist feature that came with the phone and cyanogen roms

Hey,
Anyone currently use a Blacklisting app that blocks incoming numbers that you can program in there that has had success? I see a few of them out there on the market but I am not sure which one is the best. Anyone have experience with these sorts of apps that could suggest one? (T-mobile n1 on 2.2)
I've seen that cyanogenmod includes one if you look under call settings.
Haven't gotten the chance to try it, as I don't get many calls these days.
iPhone had the iBlacklist that was real nice.
Wish there was something cheap/free similar to that.
Of course you can already do that to contacts you have in the stock ROM, I suppose you want to do it to non-contacts..
I've blocked my dumbass car loan folks, as they call to remind me a payment is due starting 5 days before and then call 2-3 times a day if I'm late. Unfortunately I still get voicemails.

I use extreme call blocker for that purpose. It has a lot of other features, but I don't use them, so I can't say how well they work. but they are only useful if you are trying to hide calls and texts

Again, the build-in functionality to block calls is built-in and "just works", never even know the call was placed.. Unless a voicemail is left, of course.
I use CallFilter from the market. It's free and will also block unknown/private numbers as well as those not in your contacts. I've been using it for months and love it.

Sometimes I get a fraction of a ring, and the screen usually pops up, but I like that it end the call with out sending them to voice mail
The numbers that I added to my blacklist prevent my phone from ringing. They go straight to voicemail. I don't even know I have a missed call until I look at my call log or they leave me a message. I love this app for the simple fact that I can block people who I hate and stupid people who like to play on my phone. There is also a pro version in the market as well.

I use android firewall by lucky-dog xing...works perfectly. I'd never know they called if I didn't check the log, and it hangs up on then so you don't get voice mails.
SPC free from the market
Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a thunderbolt and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
I know for the stock images, they added a call blocking feature to the software.
Its nowhere near as powerful as our app...
I think I might give this a try later on.
Please do, and dont forget to let me know of any issues and suggestions!
Also, we update the app on almost a daily basis, so be sure to check the market for updates often.
I've been using this for about a month now and even after using about 4 call blocking apps, this one has been the best out of all of them.
Whether you're dodging telemarketers, collectors, crazy ex-gfs, or your in-laws, this app is great!
Thanks for the high praise! Are there any features you would like to see?
I might check this out. I've tried several call blockers since moving to the Android platform from an AT&T iPhone and none have had the functionality of iBlacklist. I've been using aFirewall the most and it works fairly well with my two gripes being the phone doesn't ring when I get a call but the screen comes on and I don't have an option to have the blocked caller hear a busy signal or not in service message....they all go to voicemail which is a pain. The second problem may be a Verizon thing though. If I give this a shot I'll be sure to give you some feedback.
Oh, one question. aFirewall backs up your blacklist as a txt file on the sd card, any way to import those into your app easily or am I just stuck manually adding them?
For now you will have to add manually. The RC next week will use a backup system as well.
With a little experimenting it seems if I have it set on 'reject' the blocked caller hears endless rings, and if set on 'alternative reject' the caller hears almost 2 rings and then there is a cutoff and dead air. This is on a Thunderbolt running BAMF 1.6.3 on Verizon. It may not be possible but I would love to have an option for the caller to hear the fast busy signal like iBlacklist. In all the tests the phone did not ring and the screen did not come on, so awesome job on that! I'll keep testing for a few days but wanted to give you some initial feedback. Thanks for the hard work.
I've been using Mr. Number for a while now to block calls.
How does this app differ (if it does)...
if its somehow better, I'm more than willing to give it a go.
What happens to blocked calls? Do they go to VM? Pickup/hangup?
I'm liking this so far, seems like the best option out there.

I have been using for about 2 weeks and lots of updates which is good. Initially the calls went to voicemail but since then I haven't had any new ones. Great app for stopping those damn telemarketers.

I'm all over this. I have over 200 collection agencies calling me. I also was running extreme call blocked but it ended up blocking calls not in the block directory. I'll report back in two weeks. Thanks
Here's what must be added for it to be user friendly.
1) easily add an option to block by area code. Example : block all numbers beginning with 800,86, 877,888 or 18888,18777, 1800.
2) must have an option to backup the numbers you've blocked to sd card.
3) blocking calls means we don't hear phone ring at all if possible.
4) easily add blocked calls from the call directory. We should be 2 clicks away not 5 to accomplish this task.
1: add 1800*******, 1888*******, etc.
3: I don't hear my phone ring at all.
4: For how often numbers are added, I don't think this is a big deal. Took can add multiple numbers once you are in the profile you are adding them to.

A button to "Add Last Call To Block List" on the tool bar would be great.

We already provide wildcards. Backup to sd is coming in the next build. To intercept numbers from the dialer, we would have to build our own - thats not what this app is for. You should not be hearing any ring at all either...
