Notices

thank you nicolai,
this is a great application, makes life easier with some annoying prepaid providers that sends you an sms after sending an sms to an friend in the same network (network flatrate) ....

Okay, finally I have decided to put my fingers down and code an SMS and Call blocker. Let me know if you guys are interested and what features you would like for version 1.

Here's what I am planning to do:

1. One app for SMS and Call block.
2. Block calls and SMS based on whether they are from your contacts
3. Black lists and white lists with wild card (*) for example do something like (+1*) to block all calls from US

Meanwhile, how about a good name for it? Any ideas

Just made a thread here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74228 to discuss it.

Is this compatible with harmattan? nokia N9

No, but I know about one
person who tried to port this
for harmattan. But I don't know how
far he has come.

Do you have an idea on how to contact him?

Thanks

No, I don't remember who he was.
You may ask at forum.meego.com

I tend to get annoying spammy SMS messages for which there always isn't a clear sender number. Sometimes there appears to be a sender number, but then this blocker won't block them after all.

Is there any way I can dig the database on the phone for the number, for example?

Yes, if you have sqlite3, you can query the eventlogger database.
From xterm:

sqlite3 /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db "select remote_uid ,free_text From events where outgoing = 0;"

Shows all numbers and text for incoming messages.

And if you know one word which is in your spam messages, you
can filter the results by this word. If your spam messages include the word "SPAM" for example:

sqlite3 /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db "select remote_uid ,free_text From events where outgoing = 0 and free_text like '%SPAM%';"

Could you, please, make an option so, messages not appear in Conversations?
