Automatically rejects unwanted callers. Real-time incoming number analysis and instant reject. Easy to configure and use. Your phone will be always busy for unwelcome calls!
Best Blacklist highlights:
Real-time incoming number analysis. When you have an incoming call
BlackList application instantly detects the incoming number and uses
unique algorithm (reverted binary tree) to analyse it and determine
if the service has to reject it or not. Regardless of how many
numbers/contacts it has to analyse it rejects the call if needed
in some microseconds, before your phone
starts ringing and disturbs you.
Just busy. Because of real-time number analysis and almost
instant call reject all unwanted callers won't even know that they are
blacklisted, they will just hear the busy tone all the time.
Sms notifier. You can set up blacklist to send sms to rejected
person if needed in order to explain your reject reason, e.g. "I'm on
business conference, call you back later".
Scheduler. Scheduler makes BlackList your completely
automated personal secretary. The service can reject everyone except
family member at night, accept only co-workers at business
hours on working days, etc.
Real interaction with built-in contacts. When you set up your
black lists
you can add here contacts from your contact book (not just import
phone numbers!) and even more you can insert here groups of
contacts. Just create in your built-in contacts application some groups
like Family, Spammers, Co-workers, etc and add these groups to as many lists
as you need without adding tons of contacts to every list.
Service based application. BlackList is a professionally made
application and consists of configuration application that you can start
like any other application and service module (always-in-memory process).
When you have configured the settings you can activate the service and
close the configuration application. The service will do all job using really
small amount of memory, system resources and absolutely transparent
to user. Just configure and turn it on one time and you can forget
about it and forget about all unwanted callers as well.
User Guide:
Lists and Correspondents
You can create as many lists as you need and activate the one that
suits your current situation.
Only one list can be activated at one time. You can activate/deactivate
any list using "Activate/Deactivate" commands or just by double tapping on it.
Currently active list is marked
with . If no list is active then the
service will perform no call
filtering action.
There are 2 types of lists:
Black list. If activated it will
reject only the correspondents
listed in this list.
White list. If activated it will
accept the correspondents listed
in this list only and will reject everyone else.
Hint:
- Empty "white list" - will reject all incoming calls.
- Empty "black list" - will accept all calls.
You can add as many correspondents as you need to every list.
Contact. You can select
contacts from your contacts book. All phone numbers that the contact has will
be blocked or accepted (depends on the list type)
Group. You can select
groups of contacts from your contacts book. All contacts that the group has and
all their phone numbers will be blocked or accepted (depends on the list type)
Phone number. Type here any
custom phone number.
Unrecognised number.
Represents all callers who hide their phone number or their phone number was
not recognised by network.
All in Contacts.
Represents all numbers in your contact book.
All not in Contacts.
Represents all numbers that are not found in your contact book.
Number template. Allows
you to make number 'masks' using character *. E.g. if you include in
blacklist: "+38050*" - will block all numbers starting from +38050. "*12345"
- will block all numbers ending with 12345. "*123*" - will block all numbers
containing 123 anywhere in the number.
When you finish setup you can turn the service ON to start filtering all
incoming calls. When the service is ON BlackList configuration
application is no longer needed and you can close it in order not to waste the
memory and resources, the service will stay in memory and will do all job.
When the service is activated you can see the brief status of its activity
in application status line. Like "Rejected 3 / 4" - means 3 calls have been
automatically rejected from 4 total incoming calls.
Please note: service activating could take some time
(some seconds) as it has to prepare and organize
all your data (fetch all phone numbers from listed contacts/groups
of contacts, etc) to be able to analyze incoming phone number during a
call in real time.
Scheduler
Scheduler is a very useful function of BlackList application that can switch
your lists automatically based on defined time schedule. For example
Scheduler can block all calls every day after 23:00 except the ones from very
close family
members, at 9:00 it can allow everyone to call you except some numbers you
have blacklisted. During working days when you are on working place it can
allow only "work" calls, etc
You can create as many scheduler "rules" as you want. If you don't want some
rule
to be enabled you can disable it (without deleting) and when next time
you need it you can enable it again (no need to create it again).
Call forwarding
Imagine the situation you are on business conference and want to accept
some "work" calls only and don't want to be disturbed with the rest of calls.
But you don't want to lose them! You can manage such situation easily with
BlackList application. Just set up BlackList to accept needed calls only
and use Phone built in "Call divert" options. To reach "Call divert" options,
please start the system application "Settings" and select "Call divert"
item here. This command allows you
to configure Call forwarding service of your network operator directly
from the application. Turn "Divert if busy" ON and set up here
your secretary/voice mail/etc phone number and your network operator will
automatically forward callers rejected by BlackList application to
the specified number.
Handy log
You can always take a look what numbers were rejected by the
application. To see rejected calls log select "View log"
command from menu. Here you will be able to see all such calls sorted by
time and call back the rejected caller from this
view.
Frequently asked questions
1. When a blacklisted call comes in it goes to my voice mail. Can it just
be rejected only?
Yes. If rejected call goes to voice mail it means
your network provider re-directs the caller to your voice mail when receiving busy signal from your phone . Some providers set this behavior on
default when you buy a phone. But you can change this behavior
directly from your phone: Start system application "Settings" and
select "Call divert" command here. Select "If busy" item and than cancel
divert command.
