Call block and call redirect program for a GSM Treo 650 - Treo Forum

yosarian · 07-24-2007, 01:47 AM

I am looking for a program that will allow me to block all calls that are masking their phone number/show up as "No Caller ID," and will also redirect certain number to Vmail. Does anyone know of a reliable program that will do both? Or a pair of programs that will not conflict and will accomplish this goal?

Not sure about the redirect to VMail part, but there's a program called Call Block that blocks not only the calls you don't want, but unwanted SMS as well. I don't personally use this (yet), but a friend has it installed on her 650 and raves about it.

Good find! Seems that the program might do what we all want it to do, block unsolicited callers.

Yeah, not to mention text messages! I somehow get a weather forecast (not even for my zip code) via text message EVERY morning between 9:15 & 9:45. Not sure who they really mean to send it to, but I know I didn't sign up for it!

I'd love to stop it but have no idea where it's coming from so I'm thinking Call Block might be an answer.

Can you reply "stop" to stop the service?

Hmmm, I have been playing with Call block. The redirect to vmail would be a great add-on. However, both the apps I have been looking at seem to need you to put in a specific phone number. Ok, I will keep looking.

It's been happening so long I can't remember if I tried replying or not. I'll give it a whirl with tomorrow's forecast and see if it works... stay tuned.

Do you mean that it won't just block any incoming with no id info unless you've specified to block that specific number? Bummer. Please let us know if you find any other program - I'd be really interested.

You could always redirect them to information......
