I use to have strange people call me so after about the 10th time I just started acting real crazy like (picture jerky boys). i also started calling them at all sorts of hours and asking for the same person they asked for. Soon they "blocked" me.

I've been having the same problem, calling 3-4 times per day and won't remove my number from their list.

Callfirewall didn't work on my phone, I just got an error.

So, I downloaded the trial version of Call Block Pocket PC today and so far it has blocked that call twice. And I tested calling from my daughter's phone and it didn't block her call, so its working for my purposes.

I don't know how long the trial will work, or if it will work indefinitely. I did get an error after setting up the blocked number, says "Error reading device name" but that's probably because its not registered. But besides that error, its working fine so far. You are supposed to have an "allow list" but I dont see that on the trial, just a place to add to the block list.

You have an option of pick up and hang up or just hang up. I chose just hang up (so I don't use a minute of airtime everytime they call).

The zip file had 3 folders, one for WM2003, WM5 and WM6.

If this program continues to work well, I think I'm going to spend the $9.95 for the full version.

So, I've had the program a week and it blocks those unwanted calls great. My phone doesn't even beep that I have a missed call, it just silently hangs up on the call. I have managed (I hope) to dissuade that unwanted caller from calling back. Its been 3 days since I got a call from them.

I did notice another "problem" with the trial. You cannot manage the numbers that you add. There is only an "add number" feature, not a "delete number" option. I'm sure in the full version this is something you can do. I even tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it to clear the number I accidentally added...to no avail.

I am definitely spending the $9.95 for the full version of the program, which I believe will send calls directly to voicemail instead of just hanging up on the calls. Which comes in handy when in a meeting and you may only want to get a call from a particular individual during the meeting.

Anyone download the full version yet?

Not me. I haven't had a need for it but I will keep it in mind!

That's too bad CallFirewall doesn't work for you. I've used it since week 3 of my Q9c, and it's great! Especially the feature of blocking, then sending a custom reply to a text message user, "You are attempting to text from a blacklisted number" It's great!

Hmmm... now you have my attention. I could have some real fun with replies to my coworkers.
