Hello,
for a couple of weeks there is someone harassed me by a phonenumber, can i block this number with setting of my Sony X1i. or can i go to vodafone NL?
Thankz!
Get SPB Phone suite and set up call filtering (Accept all but black list) and put that number in your blacklist.
There's a program floating around on here called "CallFirewall". I use it on my X1. Highly recommend it.
Here it is (hard to find a download in the web).
Yes, use call firewall. Works great
Yes, Call Firewall / Callfirewall works well with the X1.
The version can even block annoying SMS as well.
answer and tell them to F*!% OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Just switched to this from CallFirewall. Integrates with the SPB Panel brilliantly and works just as well as CF.

I write a Call Filtering program. It works in most PPC 2003 and WM 5.0. Unlike some similar program sometimes doesn't work well, this is perfect!
It supports:
- Black/White List
- Block All Without SMS
- Block All With SMS
Feel free to try it.
Wow, that's really cool! Maybe you can add local voicemail / answering machine capabilities, you'd be the first
Thanks.
I also think that voicemail /answering machine is a good idea :idea: ! After all, SMS is limited in some situation.

I think this is a great tool.
I would be able to leave my phone on in the weekends (when I need loads of sleep ) and only a few (emergency numbers) would be able to contact me.
Wicked
Yes great !
I was waiting for this for long time ! Thanks !
Is there a way to know the CF status on the today screen ?
I like the local voicemail / answering machine capabilities too :wink:
Yes Great
Is it possible to have an Icon in the taskbar to say when the CF is on.

This tool is great. Fix a answering machine to and it would be great..
If you fix a answering it would be cool with like two functions on it so you can let the one who calls you decide if he wants to recive a sms with my mail adress on a sms if press #2 or something =D
I've got a doubt : what is the difference between Black list and White list ?
I thought the phone numbers in white list were able to join me whereas the others phone numbers can't.
And the Black list was the people to be redirected to my answering machine whereas the other number can reach me.
I ask this question because I try with my wife phone number : I put it in the white list and she was not able to reach me (I saw that it was block by CF)
Just checked the application out!
Works very well, thanks!
Just a tip for a future release.
I tray icon would be perfect, so you can actually see right away if its running or not.
For the rest, keep up the good work!
Unfortunately there is a more stable/mature application (CSB), that's been around for a while now, that is able to do everything you're asking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=197747
@Morphy: Please don't take me wrong.
I have myself developed a Profiles application. But I am not willing to reinvent the wheel, given there is a bunch of other 'Profilers' out there that do much more than my application does.
You'd better try to make your application 'different' from the others in some way.
Just my two cents.
[/url]
I update it!
Thank you all. I have added an icon in SysTray and updated the CAB file. Now you can know the status of CF on the today screen.

And for my question about the difference between black and white list ? :wink:
I've got other questions :
- is there a way to block hidden numbers ?
- could it be possible to create a log of the blocked Calls ?
- coud you add an exit option and a link to the CF settings and in the today icon ?
I try to put numbres in the balck to test but when I test to call myself with this phone numbers, nothing happen... I'm missing something if you could explain this it would be great :wink:
I'm sorry I cannot test hidden numbers blocking now.
If you enable black list, all incoming calls in black list will be blocked.
If you enable white list, all incoming calls NOT in white list will be blocked.
Outgoing calls are never blocked.

Sorry but it doesn't work for me (Qtek 9100 - WM 5.0)
When I choose black list => nothing happen, incoming calls in black list aren't blocked. Same for those who aren't in the black list.
And when I choose white list all incoming calls in white list are blocked.
I have tested it in i-mate JASJAR WM5.0. Do you save your change?
If you did it, I cannot realize what's wrong.
Maybe you can also check whether the incoming call number is the same with the one in list. I mean both have the prefix "+" or not.

Hi DoctuerN
I tryed this software on the Xda Executive and I have the same problem:
Numbers saved in the Black list are not blocked
Numbers saved in the White list are block
You have said in the earlier post that the Black list are blocked and the White list are not blocked.
Can you please check your coding it looks like you have got them the wrong way round.

Is there a program like this for our phone ? I know i had one for my old Nokia 7650 that was great, on weekends if work called it just hang up on them.
I would like a program that hangs up unwanted calls so they dont get diverted to the voice mail.
Any progs do that ?
There are at least two in development and available through this board guys.

Development of VoipCall has been stopped.
VoipCall 0.2.1
In the VoipSMS thread people started asking for a similar program for calling. So here it is
It's a first trial. If you've got some suggestions; let me know.
Requirements
You need the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to run VoipCall.
Instructions
In order to use VoipCall, it's important to configure it first.
Go to options and set the following values on the first tab (Application Settings)
Pause sign: p (lowercase, this is default, however unlikely your phone might have a different sign)
Default country code: this is a digit code which will be used when no country code is set.. For The Netherlands it's 0031. For Germany 0049 etc.
Use '#' Sign: set to true.This will add an '#' sign to the end of the number to call. This is needed by VoipBuster.
Accounts (second tab)
Add a new account by tap and hold on the list of accounts. Enter a friendly name and the number.
The number can be retrieved over here: https://myaccount.voipbuster.com/clx/accessnumbers.php?form=profile
(Login first and then go to : 'Make VOIP calls from your fixed/mobile phone)
Select your country and a city. The number displayed must be filled in on the VoipCall settings)
Done.
Now you can use VoipCall ;-)
Just select a contact or type a number in the textbox at the top. and press the call button.
Have fun!
Versions
There are two versions available;
- For PDA/PocketPC
- For SmartPhones
The SmartPhone version has some limitations. It does not support favorites and currently only 1 account. Hopefully I can change this soon.
PDA
Changelog
Version 0.2.1 (31-05-2008)
- Parenthesis in numbers will be removed in order to make calls.
Version 0.2 (22-05-2008)
- Move favorite down/up in contextmenu on favorites
- Delete all favorites
- Order favorites fixed
- Phonepad will be visible during call
First attempt...
Hi Mathieu,
Thanks for the app! I tried it but I have few comments:
1. After configuring the app and using a country code where I'm at right now (France) it looks like the app tried to call to my own number...?
2. I saw that VoIPbuster actually has a Java app where you enter your own number and the other party's number and when you click "call" it dials back to you and then connects you to the other party. Can your app use the same method?
The reason I'm asking for (2) is because at least for me, I travel allot and I would like to redirect my call to either a local landline or other mobile phone which is different from the one I registered; doing so will be very useful...
I noticed that the app (also the XP app) using UDP to communicate with VoipBuster so I'm not sure if this is an open interface that they publish or not but it will be very useful!
Again, Thanks allot for the efforts!! Let me know if I did anything wrong and why the app initiated a dial to my own number after selecting someone from my contacts to call to...
Gil.
Hey,
Some quick answers.
1. Did you enter the correct number for the account? It must not be your number, but the service number from VoipBuster.
For France it's: 0170909535
2. I've to take a look at that app. I'm aware of its existance. Unfortunately VoipBuster is not giving away a lot of information. But I'll take a look at it.
Another option is to configure multiple accounts. You can switch accounts at the bottom of the main screen.
Ok, now it's clear
So I will have to enter the local access #. I will try that tomorrow morning...
Let me know if you have more information about phone-to-phone using two numbers (my own number and the number I want to call to) it has lots of benefits when one is abroad and using a pre-paid SIM card... if VoIPbuster will call me instead of me calling out - I will not be charged locally for the incoming call. I will only have to pay VoIPbuster charges which is much cheaper...
Thanks!
Gil.
hi Rhapsody, that was quick! didnt expect it so fast.. great idea and it looks like another very nice app...
ive been having some trouble with my voip calling from the internal wm6 possibility, so i cant wait to try this one
The VoipBuster rates for calling to your mobile number and the number you wish to call apply (plus a callsetup fee of 5ct). Costs for the calls will be settled via your VoipBuster account, so make sure you have enough credit.
Example: You are in the USA and wish to call a landline in the UK. You pay a callsetup of 5ct plus a rate of 18Ct/Min + 1Ct/Min = 19Ct/Min
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems like you also pay for VoipBuster calling you.
I've uploaded a SmartPhone version.
Unfortunately I was unable to add favorites functionality as well as multiple accounts. Hopefully I can add this soon.
Rhapsody is the best
Rhapsody,
I've sent you an email with some additional information I've found for better automation of betamax services.
Take a look, let me know if some of these functions can be part of your client, it will be REALLY COOL if it can be implemented and make your program even more complete
Gil.
Thanks!
In the meantime I was also searching for some more information but without success...
I'm gonna check my mail now
Does it work only with Voipbuster? I only have account with Voipstunt..
It should work with every VoipBuster clone.
what about?
what about freecall.com? can I use this with account in freecall.com? imho freecall much better than voipbuster. they offer more countries to call for free, and free sms as well.

FreeCall.com seems to be another Betamax client, so the answer is yes; you can use this app for it.
In fact; the required settings are identical to VoipBuster. (http://www.freecall.com/en/geo.html)
VoipCall installation
Hi Rhapsody,
I use "VoipSMS". It's great, thank you for it.
I' ve tried to install "VoipCall", as well. Unfortunately, I can't select any provider nor can I define a new one because the "Account" tab is unaccessible, it is grey. Is it normal? My gadget is an Asus m530w smartphone with WM6 Standard OS.
I use "fring" with "Poivy" settings. It works fine. I' d like to use "VoipCall" with "Voxalot". Could you advise me the required parameters for selecting Voxalot, please?
Best regards,
tipmix
I am using Gizmo for my voip. can i configure it on voipcall 0.1
thanks

I cannot find anything about Gizmo on this issue on their website.
The only thing you need (for now) is a service number to call. This service number is a computer where you can enter the number you want to dial through the voip provider.
Gizmo is not a Betamax client so I think it's not possible.
Further I'm waiting and hoping for some help from VoipBuster itself. I've dropped a question at my contact at VoipBuster about if it would be possible to implement calling like on their website (that the service calls you and the recipient).

I don't know Voxalot. (Seems like there are thousands of Voip Providers)
The only thing you need to get it to work is a service number.
I'm not sure but you could try a number from this list: http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/pstnNumbers
I'll try to look at the account issue asap. Thanks for reporting.
I am confused by the overall VOIP concept??
Is it truly free, or do I still have to have Skype or a similar account?
What other software must be loaded for your progiie to work?
Thanks so much!
pardon my ignorance, but I am not sure what this program is for. If you are calling a service number or if the service is calling your phone, aren't you charged airtime on your phone anyways? Or is this really a way to get international calls cheap or free using standard local airtime?
Hi guys can u tell me some software for have a call filter options? I need block incoming call, allow only 5/6 specific contacts and block the rest, etc.
I have tryed magicall on diamond but i have always an error "the service did not start"..., i have also an error with call firewall...

You can try Photocontact Pro
smartblock 2.3
I use Call Block 1.17 from WISH Solutions.
I can't say for sure that it's the best, but it does the trick for me to get rid of all telemarketers who just keeps calling

Here is a solution for this problem on mobiion forum: http://www.mobiion.com/forum/index.php?topic=314.0
thank you mr.
It's a shame that you cant't get MagiCall to work on your Diamond. I have tested a lot of different callblockers but MagicAll is by far the best imho...
i'm using callfirewall... works fine.... now i can forget calls from my ex-girlfriend u can find it on sharemobile.ro.. just search for callfirewall
I tried Phonegate on my HD2 and surprise (!) - works like a charm! I tested many other apps but they either missed the first ring, or they were too complicated for me to configure.
p.s. I see this is a very old thread but it is still topical
Results for 3 Call blocking programs on HTC Touch Pro: AT&T
I've tried 3 different call blocking programs so far on my HTC Touch Pro (on AT&T):
Smart Block
SynergeTech
MagiCall
I've experienced the same problem with all of them: a couple times a day, they apparently crash the phone's ability to dial out - requiring a soft reset of the phone.
I'm assuming this has less to do with the programs and probably more to do with my particular config:
* Win 6.1 5.2.20771.1.1.4.6 (AT&T bloatware and TF3D removed)
* SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 for the interface.
Anyway, there's my report for what it's worth.
MagiCall did seem to be the best program with the most options, and it worked to block incoming calls - but the 2-3 times a day dial-out issue is worse than the 2-3 times a week robocalls.
PS:
AT&T/Verizon/Sprint and all providers really should offer a blacklist function as a STANDARD feature with their services. Robocalls are becoming more and more of an issue, and the Do Not Call List is a joke. Hell: I'd even shell out another couple bucks a month for this service if they really wanted to nickle and dime for it - which they probably would.
try this
Code:

Hi
Is there an app that will allow me to either blacklist and reject calls, or direct them to a virtual voicemail box ?
Virtual VM being within the phone not the carrier ?
I had a similar app on my Nokia N95 8GB.
Thanks
You don't need a seperate app. Just add them as a contact and select Send to voicemail. Not tried it though.

Maybe you can create an mp3 file of silence then set that as the ringtone for those contacts you want to send to voicemail. Will that work?
I just came here about to post the same thing!
Individual blocking on a case by case basis is fine. But not powerful enough. I came from Nokia E series and the only thing I miss is Advanced Call Manager.
If you look up this program, what you will find is that it has some great features:
- You can set up many lists then just tell the phone to use the list for a whitelist or blacklist.
- You can block all unknown numbers.
- Block everyone. Essentially turns phone into pager.
Even blocking calls is done in a variety of ways.
- to voicemail
- to busy tone
- block and send sms
- divert to various numbers depending on mode
Etc.
As you can see, it is a very powerful program that is set up very easily and I never had any complains, only praise. I often used it when I was writing when I would only want my partner and my mother to contact me and would block everyone else.
I have been looking but can't see anything as powerful or as highly rated. What I've found are:
aFirewall
Extreme Call Blocker
Phone Armor C.
But these seem either basic or don't work reliably.

For WM is avalible program which allow you all this. It is called MagiCall I hope that for Android is avalible something that. I hope that Im not do mistake when Im order Desire because looks like Android is not good as WM can be(missing a lot of features which are normal: USB sync like activesync, blocking calls... )
