If you are sick of being harassed and spammed by Private Number or Unknown Number calls like me then I have some solutions for you.
Handy Blacklist for Symbian OS phones
The Handy Blacklist application can be used on any Symbian OS phone like Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson.
Blacklisted numbers and the Log view
It’s pretty straightforward. You don’t get undesired calls like Private Numbers any more and can even specify an individual number if you are being harassed by someone.
Features
- 2 types of lists:
- Blacklist contains numbers you want to be blocked.
- Allow lists contain numbers which will be allowed to receive while others will be rejected.
- 3 “reject” actions for Allow lists: to reject calls, to return a prewritten text message back to the caller or to forward calls to a preset number.
- Blocking of Private and Unknown calls
- Timed activation for the lists
- Log view with tracking of the blocked calls
- Adding numbers from recent calls, contact list or manually.
- Popup window for the manually rejected calls adding to Blacklist
- A notification of the missed calls
- Floating indicator with currently activated list’s name on the standby screen
You can buy Handy Blacklist at the Epocware website.
Advanced Call Manager
Another good application for Symbian based phones. With Advanced Call Manager you can organize your phone book into custom lists like Black (people you don’t like to disturb you), White list (important people which are “allowed” to call you) or any other custom lists (a very special custom group could be your family to which you can wish to send a personal SMS if somebody calls you during a meeting).
Advanced Call Manager option screens
The application enables you to set different actions for the groups you have defined – you can accept, reject, divert calls, send personalized SMS, play personalized greeting or mute the ringer. In SMS templates you can set special messages for each group very easily. You can do the same with the personalized greetings.
This software comes bundled with some Nokia’s, but you can also download a trial or buy it at the Melon Mobile website.
MCleaner
iPhone users don’t despair! MCleaner is a firewall software (much like Handy Blacklist and Advanced Call Manager), which can reject the incoming call and SMS.
MCleaner options
MCleaner is powerful mobile phone firewall software which is capable of not only rejecting phone calls with your iPhone but can also reject SMS’s. The set-up is very simple, and you will get rid of all the unwanted incoming calls and SMS’s in no time
You can buy MCleaner from the MCleaner website.
