I also plan to add a feature to block all calls except ones from people already in addressbook, probably for 1.2.

This is the additional feature we want on this app, pls make it as an update on the existing app so that we could just update to the latest release.

As much as I would have liked this app, I wasn't able to make the entries to block saved sustainably and found the nag-screen ok for once, but it diddn't go away and then I decided against the app (otherwise donating would have been a sure thing). Thanks for your efforts anyway, it is appreciated nonetheless.

Something similar as iBlacklist on the jailbroken iPhone would be terribly nice to have. It allows to let callers call into nirvana (instead of impolitely hanging up on them or obnoxiously sending them to the mailbox forever). They stop calling after a while, if nobody ever answers the calls and can't even complain. Lovely.

This is an undefined feature request not addressed to anybody in particular, but sent into the blue skies...

cheers.

I have read that a couple people have but their details are very sketchy on how to do it. Something to do with adding in entries for unknown number blocklist and someone else mentioned this: "When you receive a call from "Unknown number", the parameter callernumber is actually an empty string. So, in order to block the calls from "Unknown number" you can check whether the length of callernumber is 0. I made this small change in the script and works just fine.
Ex.: if len(callernumber) == 0:"
This only applies to "Unknown number" calls. To make it work also with other numbers replace the line "if callernumber in blocklist:" from handle_call with "if callernumber in blocklist or len(callernumber) == 0:"

but I haven't a scooby where to enter this or how.......I have checked both old and new versions of the py scripts and can't find anything relating to what he's mentioned, so I'm at a loss. But I know the above method he mentioned definetly works, only problem is that I can't get in touch with him anymore as I lost all my contacts recently

lol hopefully someone understands what to with the above and can let us know so that we may try it out.

So, I therefore ask.........can anyone please help us on this 1?
