        Re: Caller Blocking?

        So I couldn't stand it any more, and remembered an old Nokia N900 hack which sorta did the job. I have a daemon running now which watches for calls on the dbus, and hangs them up if they're in my blacklist config file:

        http://sources.vsta.org:7100/webXMPP/dir?ci=tip

        You want the tools/blacklist.py file in that project, if you want to check it out.
        No, it's not a GUI or a package; if somebody wants to work with me to wrap this
        in something prettier, I'd be happy to help.

        I couldn't find any way to get word back to my carrier that they're not even worth
        a shot in voicemail. But at least they can't ring my phone....

          @vandys Moved this to app dev to save moving it later or creating a new thread when someone takes you up on the offer to improve the packaging.
