Lightbulb Anyone want to make an app that'll help out a guy out?

Had magicall on my WindowsMobile phone, which was retired recently.

I had it setup to add a "*67" to any telephone number I called that was not in my contacts list. Additionally, I had a "group" named "Blocked Calls" which it would add the *67 to as well.

Whenever I called a number and it would be blocked the phone would give 2 short "vibrations" to tell me the number was blocked.


I would LOVE to have a program like this for the droid..... provided it worked well enough. An on/off widget would be nice, but not needed.

I know an app like this would sell well in the 'droid market place..... hell, I'd gladly pay $20 to have something like this again.... it's very important to me.

Where I work we are not issued cell phones but we are required to have them (Sucks, Huh?)..... I don't like the average "joe" I call on my phone to get my mobile number.... However my family won't answer blocked calls.. Go figure

You should turn this into a BOUNTY, I would happily pay $10 to $20 for this app to any developer who can make it like magicall.

Anyone else that likes magicall hop on board...

OP and I are in for dough.

Well, I've setup google voice on my droid... I've had the voice # for a while now infact. However, this would still not achieve what I'm looking for. I need my # to show up as blocked to people I call for security reasons.

I could make it, but really $20 is too less for spending few weekends on it.

I can still mash something up for your particular need in one weekend. But If it needs to be a generic app which can meet a lot of requirements, then it will take good 3-4 weekends.

If you put it on the market you're sure to make more than $20 from it...

If this is such a sure thing, why not pay a developer to create it and transfer ownership to you? You could sell it on the market yourself and rake in the dough.
