Default Caller Blacklist App ?

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.

I use that a lot problem is your phone still rings then it goes to voicemail, would have been lot better if it went straight to voicemail...

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... )
If you like my work then donate me
