Call/SMS blockers that ACTUALLY work?

I have been trying to find a WORKING call/sms blocker app that works on my Evo. I've tried a coupple of the free ones that were found in the market but none of them seem to block anything at all! I'm certain that I set them up correctly but calls and texts from those that I tried to block are still coming through. Any recommended apps either free or paid that really work on this phone?

Thanks for "yinz" help!.... it's a Pittsburgh thing ; )

Re: Call/SMS blockers that ACTUALLY work?

I'm looking for the same. On WM I used an app that would send texts to a folder of my choice, and for phone calls it would pick up and then hang up after 2 seconds.

I use CallFilter to block calls.. you can choose to have them send to voicemail. Or to have it answer and hang up the call in 2 seconds

If you are talking about http://market.android.com/search?q=p....hsj.blacklist (link used on phone) it doesn't give option to answer and hang up after 2 seconds. Can you post link to app (appbrain link is fine)?

This is one that I tried and it doesn't seem to block anything, calls and texts still were getting through and I'm certain that I set it up correctly....
