I have used a few "Call Block" applications on all of my Treo's, some of them pretty good, some not so good. I have also tried a few for the Blackberry, but I have never used a call blocking program as good as Black & Whitelist by "SoftwareLabs."
This application is hands down the best application for blocking unwanted calls on your Blackberry. OTA, installation is quick and easy, after you enter your registration code the steps become no brainer simple.
Select your "Blacklist" which are calls you don't want ringing through. A quick way to do this is after receiving an unwanted call, use your trackball to highlight the number in your call log and select. You will now see "Black Whitelist" as one of your options. Select it, the app puts the number in the window and gives you the choice to always allow or block it. You can also add to and or use your Address book entries to set Block rules with.
Once you have blocked a number, it's blocked. That is what makes this such a fantastic app. After I blocked a few numbers I did not want calling through, they have never called through again. You will always be able to check through the apps call log or your Blackberry call log if a call as been mistakingly blocked, or you could simply ignore it all together.
One thing I would like to see as a added function is blocking while on call. It would be nice if a number that I have blocked would be blocked just as well while I'm on another call, as it is when idle. But I haven't found that feature in any app of this nature, so this is not a complaint, more like a wish list.
