Is there an app to block incoming calls from an entire area code? I get telemarketers from Phoenix on a daily basis. No matter how many numbers I block, they always manage to call from a different number.
Alternatively, is there a call blocking app which has a list I can edit by means of a text file? If so, I can just do something in Excel and have it increment by 1 until I have all 10 million numbers blocked. Of course, that would have to be a HUGE text file!
I program I use which is really great, but not free, is called MagiCall. I think it's well worth the money though cause it lets you block not only calls, but sms and it does incoming and outgoing. This program will let you block a whole area code, or any other way you want to block a number. You never even notice when it blocks a call, unless you want to notice it, then you can set it to show a notification
Mobiion MagiCall
Call Firewall... Free & works well.....

I bought MagiCall and installed it but I don't get how to block by area code
EDIT: Figured it out!
Examples:
To block the entire area code 852, enter (852)* or (852)???-????.
To block any phone number containing 7, enter *7*.
To block all other phone numbers except 12345678, enter ~12345678.
If you want to block phone number 633-7777 but not care about its area codes or country codes, just enter 633-7777.
Each item consists of a phone number and an optional comment using one space as the separator, so please don't leave spaces among phone numbers. To separate multiple items, use ';'. For example: (123)456-7890 Jack Will; (987)654-3210 Peter Lee; 135-790-8642
No more calls from the 602 area code for me!

I need to block someone from calling or texting me if I can and I dont want to change my number
there must be something I can do with my o2 xda mini s to block a number?
help please
I use Call Firewall (attached a zip). I don't know if you can block text messages, but it is efective in blocking numbers. I have mine set to block unknown/private numbers, and any numbers not found in my contacts list. Hope this helps/is what you were looking for. Some of the cooked WM6 roms also have this program incorporated into their rom.
i just need to block one number and i know what it is, i dont want to block withheld numbers as I need to receive calls from these and I understand that this would mean the person could simply withhold their number
would that program work to that extent?
blocking texts would also be required
Ta for help so far
I was wondering if there are any apps to block specific phone numbers? Sometimes I get spam from party promoters and I have no idea how they got my number. And clingy ex-girlfriends As far as I know the only way to block numbers is to get your service provider to do it (I might be wrong?), so I thought it would be nice if there were an app that could do it for you, like you could enter a list of the numbers you want to block, and when you're looking at a list view of your text messages or call history, there would be a "block number" option. Is there anything like this?

I haven't tried this myself as I don't get any calls I need to block at the moment but this is supposed to do what you want (CallFirewall):

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?

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.

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

GodswMobile, the makers of SMS Transfer, have released a new application called Pocket Call Blocker.
As the name would suggest, the purpose of the application is to block unwanted incoming calls and sms. Unlike other software available for doing this, they have managed to keep the application as simple as possible. You simply add numbers to the filter list and the program prevents those numbers from calling you. Also unlike other applications available, the software does not simply ignore calls from those numbers – it instantly hangs up the callers. This prevents the unwanted callers from even reaching your voicemail! BTW, it could also used as a sms spam filter.
Key feature description from pocketcallblocker.com
* Multiple filtering rules - filter by specific numbers, wildcard numbers, anonymous and unidentified numbers, groups/categories numbers, contact/non-contact numbers; all numbers.
* Two incoming phone call block actions - hang up and mute;
* Two SMS block actions - delete and mark as read;
* Built-in phone number block log;
* Run on background;
* Easy way to operate and set up filter rules;
The application runs on Windows Mobile Pocket PC 6, 6.1, and 6.5 and is available from pocketcallblocker.com for $19. But I found a discount order link with 50% off.

AMEN!!! And SPAM! of course. lol
While we're on the subject, I used to use CallFirewall before changing my number, but never found a similar program for text messages. Does anyone know of one?

now, when recieving an incoming call do you still recieve the initial ring before it hangs up? Because ive yet to find a program that completely blocks a call. They just hang up a split second after. if i blocked a number, i want it to go straight to voicemail for that person, without ringing. ill check this one out
I use Photo Contacts Pro myself...not freeware, but it does the job quite nicely hanging up on unwanted calls and sms...
Magicall from mobiion is doing a verny nice job. you can set up different rules for calls and sms and also tell the program what to do with them (ignore, hang up, delete sms, forward, and so on)
