Hi,
I'm receiving malicious phone calls from my ex-girlfriend. I'm on T-mobile UK and they DON'T have the facility to block calls on the network end.
Ideally I'd like a free program to block calls and texts but I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount. I've done some research my self and have found nothing that I've thought would do the job.
Help PLEASE... I want to throw my anti-anxiety medication away.
Dave.
Try Call Firewall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178 -it blocks atleast calls (but not SMS)..
Cheers, just d/l'd and installed. tested by blocking my brother-in-laws number and got him to call me. success!
THANKS!
Any ideas in regards to SMS?
Dave
I have had success with MagiCall. It can also block SMS. It can even be set up to pick up and hang up within milliseconds of receiving a call (instead of just "ignoring" the call .. which sends the caller to voicemail so she can leave you annoying messages that must be deleted. not so with pickup/hangup!). If you want to adjust the # of milliseconds between pickup and hangup, it is configurable in the registry. Just contact the developer!
It can block numbers with wildcards, even unknowns, and has time-sensitive settings as well. Can also block SMS via its contents (or sender).
Oh, and very small footprint, only 233.55kb (its fast!)
I've been using it for over a year and am very happy with it. Its $25. [http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html] And ... no, I promise I don't work for them!
Hey,
Thanks for your assistance, i'll buy MagiCall when i've got a bit of spare cash. thanks! I'll add these solutions to the wiki when i can.
Dave
Hey brotha I know what you mean I had the same problem. I was gonna change my number but I just ignored her and after about a month (I know thats a long time) she stopped. I have to give it to her she was persistent.

I had a Palm software phone (Treo 600) before my current MDA Compact and the Palm had two programs that i cannot seem to find for this PocketPC, can anyone suggest a program
1/ a Call filter, one that does not pass the calls onto the voicemail a filter that will pick up and drop. The Parm one when you had a blocked call it sounded to the caller that they had been cut off, i have been given SmartFilter but you just end up with lots of voice messages.
2/ Was a SMS response program once set if you recieved a text it would make no sound but would send a reply with a message you had set.
as said two usefull program that i cannot find for PocketPC, have i missed then if so can anyone please tell me the names.

I have tried that program and it looks very good but is restricted to only 10 numbers from your contact list. I will keep my eye on this program but as said so far it looks very good.

I have a copy of Smartphone and yes it is good except if anyone calls you and they are blocked it goes straight to the voicemail. So i ended up with voicemails, i think a really good call filter should except the call (silently) and just hang up. Smartphone is good but could be better if it picked up and dropped the unwanted calls instead of pointing them to voicemail.
not quite true
it takes it's divert from the phone 'busy' setting.... I think the default is voicemail on busy, but in the phone settings, you can specify another number other than voicemail... I put in my office number....go to the phone application and then the 'call divertl settings
not sure what you mean by pickup and hangup....sounds a bit rude really to the poor caller!
I don't get what you want?
You want the phone to receive a call, and then just hang it up?

What i am after is simple, work ring me weekends and using Smart Filter i end up with a load of vorce mails i dont want that. Now Call Filter when you choise a number to ignore just hangs up No Call and No Voice Mails - Great. I will be glad when he has finished the program as its grippled to only 0 numbers from your phone book at the moment.
Hi Guys,
Is there any possible way to block an annoying friend from sending SMS and calling, just on a tempary level?
Cheers
I needed to block someone, i wont go into the reason why but if you want to do it permanently..... i had to change my number, and it cost me roughly £30 (with Orange), not sure about temporary. If you are able to block a specific number from calling or texting you, what's to stop the person just using a different phone!
I would think that you'd have to contact your carrier and have them block the number.
there are an software called call firewall that block the incoming calls and mesages from the number you choose
How about this Shareware stuff?
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2308/block-unwanted-calls.html
Thanks guys,
It's just someone that is currently being over bearing at the moment
Have you tried Call Firewall?
I use Magicall -- works a treat. You can set many parameters so you have a lot of control on what goes on. Has always worked for me on many ROMs.
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
just wondering if there is some software (preferrably free) that i can use to block a certain number from texting me. basically they wont give up trying!
its a jade running windows 6.5 ... thanks
Jade phone already has the "call barring" facilities. however it must be supported by the service provider.
i'm with tmobile and it'll only allow me to block all the numbers.. or no numbers.
its only the one number i want to block though. thanks
Try this.

HTH.
block unwanted anythings
I use a program called MagiCall it wont let anything through and also you can set it to keep there end open even though you are not on a call with them so it wastes their money and not yours or your time
so for example person rings you , you set it to bounce back but disconnect at your end and the caller thinks they are still taking to you lol
neat app

Here's my scenario,
I'm receiving calls from 3 people that are annoying, I'm not looking for to block these people, but looking an app that can REDIRECT these SELECTED CALLERS to the number of my CHOOSING.
please help me find an app that forwards calls (THAT DOES NOT TAMPER WITH VOICEMAIL)
Thanx in adv.
I hear that phoneAlarm does this from pocketMax.
http://www.pocketmax.net
just tried it, and did find anything regarding call forwarding.
anyone else????
This won't help with your scenario, but might be useful for future reference.
Google Voice offers this functionality by default. You can send those callers to another number, or straight to voice-mail, or block them entirely if you choose.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any WinMo apps that will do that.
Not sure if MagiCall will help you. You can set up custom rules for each number.
Worked great when I was getting annoying calls.
I normally was using Magi call, but have it under hang up and drop. Problem is that it hangs up a second later (they can still hear my background and notice that it the call is being hanged up for the 1 second).
I have tried about 2-3 apps that they are suppose to block the call, instead it send s them to voice mail (I don't want them to have access to my voice mail) or does hang up immediately. Only if there is a TRUE CALL BLOCKER is would consider it.
I now focusing in finding a app that forwards these selected callers to any number of my choosing.
There has to be an app like this, someone hopefully comes through with that answer.

I'm looking for the same thing and PhoneAlarm Pro does support this feature from what I've read. I downloaded the Pro version and installed it. But after restart, it will get stuck on the main screen and nothing else will show. I waited for a while to see if it will load but nothing ever happened and I kept restarting over and over. I finally ended up doing a hard reset. I'm running on the Leo Cell Evo v5 rom tmobile and I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I don't feel like flashing to another rom to see if it works for me so I'll just leave it alone and let someone else figure it out.
Hello everyone!
I was wanting to know if anyone knew of a good call blocker that works well. I have been getting a ton of spam calls from random numbers, they are never the same., so blocking each one seems to be a endless task I would like to be able to block all calls and text msgs from anyone who is not in my contact list. I have a Sprint S8, and Note 8. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Get a copy of truecaller.
While I used it, it blocked 95% of spam calls.
I use this one and it's very effective.

I personally use YOUMAIL as default voicemail and call blocker. You can set different funny prerecorded greetings, for spammers and marketing I choose one that says, like the following number is disconnected or your calling an Indian CSR.
On top you get free transcribing for like 10 minutes of messages.

I'm researching call blockers. I'm currently inundated with spoofing type spam since most of the calls appear to come from my local area. Therefore I plan to setup the call blocker to block any callers not in my Contact list. After the call, I will check my voicemail to determine whether the call was legitimate. If legitimate I will tag them as safe so that future calls will be accepted.
While TrueCaller seems a nice call blocker, the free version has so many ads that they become a major distraction. The free version of Hiya is a joke and can't even meet my limited requirements. I like Should I Answer, but I'm interested in feedback from others before making a decision.
