Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

does this pick up the call and hang up or does it go straight to your voicemail.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Far as I know the call never makes it thru... but i'm not sure on this...

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

nah it will ring 1 time sor a slight second then stop and send them to ur voicemail...and then in return send them a text if u have it set up to do so...only draw back to the program...i wish it didnt ring on our end at all...

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

oh ok. so far for me it seems to be working cause i dont even get a ring on the numbers i've blocked... it just alerts me of a voicemail... i did not enable it to send a text...

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I have having a lot of trouble with this product. what options am i supposed to click in order for a txt to be blocked? I add someone from my contacts to the SMS black list but their txts still come through.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Thanks for the update... I had forgotten how much I liked this app... used to run it on my Touch before I moved to the Mogul.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

i do like this app alot, but i must admit there are times when i cant tell if it's working properly or not. plus it's mildly annoying that if i want it to startup by copying a shortcut to the startup folder, it launces the main app screen each time i reset my phone... mild but still annoying.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Totally agree about the startup issue... the fact it always started up visually used to drive me nuts. I was actually hoping that had been fixed in the latest couple of versions, but I guess not :(

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Hopefully they'll change that in the next release?

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

hmm; aren't the ppc's bad enough about missing calls on their own WITHOUT a firewall?:)
-mark

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

speak for yourself, i've never had that problem.. though there are definately times i wish i had missed a call, hence why i need this program lol.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

hey NAUTICA IM ALITTLE JEALOUS THAT U ALREADY HAVE 33 THANKS haha...and i know its off topic but its my thread haha...

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Think that means he's given out 33 Thanks... next line says he's been thanked 3 times in 2 posts

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

correct there yuma thanks.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

so hows this working on the touch pro? Can you ignore calls labled as "unknown"? I have an ex that dials *67 before calling me all the time because she knows I'll ignore her. I'd also like to ignore 1-800- numbers

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I really like the idea of the Whitelist, but is there an ability to restrict blocking to certain times of the day?

What I'd like to do is only allow certain calls from 11:00pm - 7:00am and send the rest to voicemail.

Thanks!

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

This is EXACTLY the type of an app I was looking for over at XDA!! I wish someone says if this one actually works or not!

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Nice idea, but the fact that the phone actually rings once and then the program blocks the call kinda killed it for me..

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I think perhaps the only way to get it to not ring at all or show u had a call come in is for sprint (or whoever your provider is) to do this on their servers er whatever, and they won't ever do that (i tried.)

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Yes, there is an option for "Reject Unknown /Private Calls". Also, you can setup a pattern for the black list with any numbers calling that start with "1-800" which will make them all fail.

Sorry, that is not an option.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I have not had that happen at all with my Touch Pro. I do not get even a partial ring... it just ignores the call and dumps them to voicemail.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

good to know. I'm installing it now.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

Wish this was the case with my Touch... Its about time to upgrade to a Diamond anyway.. LOL..

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

anyway to send a return text to just the people in your contacts so i dont try to send a text to a landline or someone i dont know?

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I've been using version 1.4 for a month, can be found at http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi with a search.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

can also be found on post number 4 of this thread with a search lol

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

This would be a decent app if it could block the call completely so they can't even get to your voicemail.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

amen. too bad sprint is too stupid to allow that feature.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

that is why I like Magicall better, that biatch picks and hang up immediately, datstss y am talkin bout....lol:headbang: no voice mail access

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I have the samsung omnia with Verizon, how do you install this app. I downloaded it to my computer, but I don't know if that is the right thing to do or what to do after that.

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

if it is a cab, put it in your SD card and go to file explorer ad run it from there. If it is an exe, then you run it from your pc while it is connected to your TP...:mrgreen:

Re: Call Firewall V 1.3 Out Now...freeware
 

I can't get this app to work properly. I have the mode set to Black List and Ask before replying checked but all of the calls on the Black List comes through everytime. I have an HTC Touch (Sprint). Any suggestions?
