Question

Call and SMS blocker

Feb 27, 2015 9:39PM PST

I've been searching for an Android App for Call and SMS blocker (filter would be the correct term in this case) that meets my requirement.

Block / Filter Options:

1) Black List - Reject for Voice, Spam Box for SMS
2) White List - Allow Voice and SMS
3) Wildcard option for Black / White List
4) Phone Book - Allow Voice and SMS
5) Move SMS from Spam Box to Inbox.

None of the Apps I've come across meet all the above, especially points 3 and 5.

Can someone give me a lead please?

Thamks.

....YouMail has a companion application called "WhoAreYou". The second application offers some of the features you are looking for IMHO. Just trying to help.

Thanks for all the leads. I am now using "Blocker 4.95" by embware. It meets my specs except SMS restoration to Inbox. Will be looking around.

For those who were following:

I managed to get what I needed using 2 apps:

"Postman" for the SMS's
"Calls Blacklist" for voice calls (with the SMS part not used)
