Are you sick and tired of 1-800 companies or 1-877 companies calling you all the time even though your cell phone is on the Do Not Call Registry? It doesn't seem like spammers care that you go to all that effort to NOT hear from them does it?
Fear not! A solution has been invented if you own and use a Blackberry cell phone!
It's called Call Blocker Pro and are you ready for this? It costs a whopping $2.99.
I found this program the other day when I kept getting calls from some 1-877 outfit that everyone was complaining about on the internet. I thought, "There's got to be a way to outsmart these people." So I went searching at the Blackberry App World and found this little program.
Here's a screenshot from the Blackberry App Store. The program can be downloaded from the internet or through your Blackberry. It is supposed to work with all versions of the Blackberry. I run mine on a Blackberry Curve 8900.
It's easy to install and it works great! The secret to effectively blocking a number is to be sure you put both 1-800 and 800 without the "1". Do the same with 877 numbers or any area code!
Now, whenever a pesky telemarketer calls, I jot down the number, enter into my call blocker program and literally never hear from them again.
Put in a number accidentally? You can take numbers right back out. No problem.
I'm not sure if there is an application like this for the Iphone, but surely there is!
One last thing...get rid of your home land line, use only a cell phone and you've got total control of when the phone is on, off and who can and cannot call!
Now...why didn't my cell phone service provider think of this????
