You sign up, and when a restricted call comes in you "ignore" the call, then it in the easiest way to explain "magically" reveals the callers ID.


You get a free trial period, then after that you have to pay. I recommend everyone try the free trial, just for educational purposes. It is somewhat scary, as many people block thier numbers when making calls. If you call some blocked, and they unblock with this method, there is NO indication to the calling party that you have unblocked their call.

trapcall is NOT compatible with Sprint, only VZW,ATT, and TMO-says so right on Trapcall..

and what the heck is a Touch Pro3 as your info says you posses one..

heres Call Firewall

Wrong.......TrapCall *IS* compatible with Sprint...try again.... it does work.

as far as the "touch pro 3" goes, it's a figment of my imagination...

I just call up the carrier and they block the number.

[mikewest]

The problem with blocking the number is that you might get called by 818-858-1234 today and then 818-858-1235 tomorrow.

The best practice is to inform them, that you do not wish for them to call you anymore. Inform them that you are making note of their name and the date and time that you informed them. Also advise them that you are aware that any future call will be a violation of FCRA regulations, and have them confirm that they are also aware of that.

thanks for the trap call link!

one way to make it end also is that when you get the call, like mikewest mentioned, write down their information and then simply state "cease and desist". by law when they hear that, they're supposed to stop calling you (this was relayed to me by a previous co-worker who now moved on to law enforcement).

That seems to be the ticket, call firewall 1.4 seems to be working great, now I can get a couple a--holes off my a-- Thanks very much people

TP 3 ? if there was such one I wonder if it would be as good as TP 2, sorry not bashing but I never said anything bout having a TP 3

unless I am wrong, isn't there a "blacklist" option on the phone itself somewhere. Not really sure what purpose it serves or anything, just (sort of) recall seeing it once upon a time.

[blugill]

Yeah there is a blacklist option for sms on phone but not incoming calls
