Ignoring Texts/Calls?

thesmacker11 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-24-2008, 02:09 AM

I tried searching but I forgot and couldn't find the name of the programs that can ignore texts/calls from specific senders and at specific times. Can someone please remind me of the names of the free/paid programs? Thank you.

Maybe your looking for Magicall. I use it and it works well.

Magicall is a smart, rule based filter software for SMS filtering and dual-way calls filtering.
It gives you the ability to block unwanted callers with SMS replies. It can also add prefixes automatically in front of the original called numbers or hang them up depending on your settings. In addition, you can take control of incoming SMS and more.................

i think there is an app called iSecretary with all sorts of neat options, but i haven't dug into it. Magicall does the job so well that i haven't bothered with it.

Ya I only use Magicall too. It works all the time every time so no need to look for other software.

i had problems w/ callfirewall when i first tried it as well. would always get an error message about the xml file it uses to hold user settings... but when i tried the latest update v4 i think, it's been working PERFECTLY since then.

I might just have to check out the update.

yeah besides that initial issue, it's a neat lil app, i love that it blocks numbers and even number patterns if you want to block telemarketers that call from trunk lines that have multiple extensions for each number. now all i do is block and number that starts with "(xxx)-245-" and it will block anything coming from that subset of numbers!
