Hi, I want to know is there any software we can use to ignore incoming calls from contacts in certain categories? I use only 1 number for business and personal things, it would be very useful for me if I can auto-ignore calls from Business category after business hours
Thanks folks...
Just wanted to add to the question. I was using Nokia3650 previously and it came with a utility named "BlackList". You could put in contacts in the blacklist and they woudl always get a message of "The number your dialling is not responding at the moment". Is there any such utility available for the XDA :? ?
I would love to have such a utility.........If anyone came accross it, PLEASE post it
Just set that business number to other short "beep" ringtone and u won't get any attention when te call comes in.
hello
is there already a blacklistprogram?
thx

Of course there is such a program. It is called Smart Filter(commercial unluckily). I will post it tomorrow (my network is a bit... down... so I'm writing from my MDA! ). Any way, if you don't wanna wait for me to post it - try google!

Isn't this CallerFirewall in Chineeze?
SmartFilter is good.
CallerFirewall
Yes, but it has been translated to English (look further down in the same thread)
CallerFirewall rocks. It's ugly to look at, you need to soft-reset your phone sometimes to get blocked callers added properly, but it's very effective and free. Even though it's clunky to use, it's not like you need to be worried about using this program every day, right?
Hi everybody,
I'm using CallerFirewall for some time now and it works great, no problems so far. But u can't block callers by category, u can do it only individually.
Yes ive searched, and ive done research, but I use it for voicemail right now. Would getting a number benefit me at all? Btw i dont pay for my plan so that doesnt even matter

But how is it different?
Here's the idea. Add your Google Voice number to your Friend/Family list. Then use the Google Voice callback app (or use the Google Voice mobile website to set up a call). This will create a phone call that will start with your phone ringing. When you answer the phone, it will then begin ringing your other party. The genius here is that the incoming number on the caller ID is your Google Voice number. No minutes used.
Another bonus is that if you change phone companies, you don't have to change your Google Voice number. Assuming that is the number you are handing out to people, you'll always get calls. Add on to the list superior voicemail, and much better texting and it starts to really shine.
If I am diligent, I can go an entire month using minimal minutes. Since I am sharing minutes, this makes the other users on our plan very happy. =)
Does this help to answer your question?

It is also helpful for people who would like to split their work life from their non-work life. You can specify conditions to connect a call to a work phone or home phone between specific hours, or you can use one phone with multiple voicemail greetings for different groups of people (family, friends, work, etc.). It lets you screen/block calls from specific or unknown people and send them directly to voicemail. You just have a lot more control over things.
Good point! I had forgotten about those customizations! It is especially amusing to set up a custom voicemail greeting for one specific person. When John calls and it says, "Hey John, leave a message old man!"

Hi, I can call someone like galaxy tab 7"? I can compose the number and call?
Use the search button next time 'cause this question has been answered a billion times..
But the answer is no, you can't call with this tab (yet) because honeycomb doesn't support the phone functionality. The hardware is present in the tab but the software simply doesn't know how to utilize it. Maybe when our developers get the complete source code for honeycomb they can cook something up but for the time being we have to use a real mobile phone to call with.
Uhh, yes you can call with this tab. Install Google Voice, get a free number, buy Groove IP from the Market, 5 minutes later you will have a giant slab of a phone.

Edit: about google voice.. I hate to break it to you, but not everyone is american.
Post #3 is correct. Obviously you have to be on wifi, but you can very easily make phone calls with this tablet. I have done it many times. To the OP, if you need links or anything else please let us know.

Just as you can access US/UK video with a US IP address - you can get Google Voice with a US number.
Get a free (or rent) US voip number, register for google voice.

I can't speak for the Tab (I have one now), but I was able to use Skype with my Xoom when I had that tablet. It worked fine. Just need to download it and use a wi-fi connection.

I assume you are talking about using a VoIP provider? Is there any way of making FREE calls in to US numbers using Google Voice Callback or something similar? I've been unsuccessful in trying to make it work on mine (wifi only version)
I tried groove IP the call quality sucks no one can hear me but I am able to text from my Google voice number

This is correct ...and the first mod I did. Don't forget to click forward calls to gtalk in Gvoice. Scince my main number is ported, it rings and texts my tab and phone simultaneously. sweet. Only downside is wifi/teather required
I used this site for a while now but just realized they have an app which works just as good as the site. Unlimited free calls but the calls only last two minutes without a paid account. Two minutes is more than enough time to disguise your number on a call or to prank someone. It also lets you change your voice just like on the site. It will also record your calls so you can post your pranks to Facebook.
Someone has too much free tiime on their hands. lol
I used this app before its funny.. love to prank my wife at work.. lol
Nice find bro, just in really like this app.
I wish in this section of the forum they will put 50% apps threats and 50% themes. I am aware that xda is 98% for rooted guys, but I love to read threads about apps (non rooted) I assume that there is a bunch of people like me outthere.
Maybe I'm a nombre and there is a forum exclusively for news about apps but I searched in the market and those app reviews apps are ****

I mentioned "Evil Operator" by the PrankDail bunch in the previous thread and it does more than just fake caller id's........
http://www.prankdial.com/android/eviloperator
You set it up to call two phone numbers out of your book and both phones ring with the caller id of your choosing and when they pick up they're talking to one another. It can get really funny if you set up with 2 people who dont like each other to begin with! LOL! Heres the web based version.......

Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..
@ OP
Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..
