My idea was to expand the groups beyond the 5 we have today and create a groups view on mycontacts application. comments?

Is it possible to hook a long press on the group icon?

Hello, I've installed your application only yesterday, and I like the way it shows its widget.
A question, before I scan all the thread, which is quite long. Is it possible to add a feature, where phone numbers starting with 0 (zero) are dialed using i.e. sip or skype, and those starting with 3 (or another figure, like mobile phones) are dialed using another service, i.e. the phone app or another voip provider?
Generally speaking, it should be possible to apply a regular expression filter to the number, and instradate the call depending on its result.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Right now the application only differentiates international from local numbers and each "class" can have different settings.

Unfortunately not... The "desktop" suppresses all "long presses".

I haven't tested but while looking for a "google translate" application I found one to send SMS to a group of google contacts using google voice. It is called gvSMS.

For me would not solve the issue once I don't want to have all my contacts on google or have to start a separate application to send text but for some of the people out there desperate to send texts may help.

p.s. I haven't tested or can endorse the developer or application. I am just sharing my findings.

very nice. unfortunately, it's no use to anyone outside the usa (like me).

I noticed that on the application you also have the option to send SMS using the phone (instead of google voice). I haven't tried but it seems to be an option.

Again, I still don't think this is the solution for everybody but it is one option that is out there.

I tried the auto-reject feature and it doesn't seem to be working.

I opened myContacts then went to settings. clicked on Group: Block Calls from. then chose the contact.

I then tried to call my phone from that number and it did not reject the call.

Have you changed the settings on the "monitor incoming calls"?

no I didn't. trying it now

edit:
it's working now, thanks!

finally have a working blacklist. none of the other methods ever worked for me. Now if only it could also reject 'unknown number'..

is there a way to start myContacts in the background on startup?
