Block Calls On Your BlackBerry with CallsBlocker

block calls on blackberryHave the telemarketers managed to get a hold of your cell phone number? Are you sick of having to ignore unwanted calls? With CallsBlocker you can block calls on your Blackberry and never have to deal with unwanted calls ever again!

CallsBlocker is a great free Blackberry call blocking software written by Fabian Heuwieser that allows you to block unwanted calls a few different ways. In the application screen, you can enter individual numbers you want to block and block numbers with certain area codes (such as 800, 888, 866, etc.). There are also options to block private, unknown, and withheld numbers.

You can also block numbers from your contact list.

And finally, you can block numbers from your call log as well.

Just visit the CallsBlocker download page, and you can send it to your BlackBerry via SMS or email. You can also download it to your PC and then transfer it to your phone with a data cable.

Although the product page states the minimum requirements are a BlackBerry Storm, Berry Reporter confirmed with Fabian that it should work on all the devices, not just the Storm. Thomas Magsaysay, the author of the Berry Reporter article confirmed first-hand that it does work on a BlackBerry Bold.

What do you think of CallsBlocker? Do you know of any other free tool to block calls on Blackberry?

I'm a fairly typical geek that spends hours in front of a computer monitor at work as well as at home. I also enjoy putting together nifty tools and gadgets. I aspire to some day be able to make a living as a geek, perhaps blogging, consulting, or both. Although I've been blogging in some form or another since the turn of the millennium, I really didn't "take it seriously" until I created WealthBoy late in 2007. Recently I decided that blogging about technology and the geeky stuff I enjoy might suit me better, so I created GeekLad. Developing both blogs has been a great learning experience in search engine optimization, and I hope to some day become an SEO expert.

    This app sucks. I installed it on my BB Bold and it does not block anything. No 800, 877, anon, etc are blocked even though the numbers are listed in the app for blocking.

    Piece of shit!!!! Get it together and fix this.

    • Charli

      I AGREE! It does not block anything :( please dudie come now help us out

  • Ozzy

    this is SHIT!!

    I have the blackberry bold and it worked for me. It took a minute but I figured it out. When you block a number the person can still call you but the what is so sweet about the software is that it sends the caller straight to voice mail.You will have miss call but it will go to voice mail every time.

  • angreuser

    I agree. This is shit. Doesn’t work. Never ever use it again.

    Make sure you go to Options, Advance options, Applications and go to Callblocker and change its Permission for everything to Allow.

    but having a missed call show up is irritating too

  • fred

    this application is too soon to be released. I think the programmer not doing enough test, he is too sure about this application. for me this application can not used …

  • JA

    would anyone know is this app can block calls and SMSs from callers/sms’ers who do not use a number but an “alias”? Otherwise, does anyone know how to find out the number or an application which performs that function?

    • http://geeklad.com Jorge Sierra

      I’m not aware of a way to block those that are using aliases.

  • CVille

    I have the blackberry bold and I use the software called iCallManager Light 1.2.8 which comes along with the Black and Whitelist 1.5.1 application and it works great. When an unwanted, even blocked number calls, it picks up and hangs up on the caller and doesn’t not send it to my voicemail. You just have to make sure you set the Blacklist preferences to Blacklist, Reject, Hang Up. Great application that actually works on the bold!!!

  • Pouros

    Works for me, blackberry storm 9500, had to go to advanced settings -> applications -> Callblocker, and set all to allow, 2 different settings. But my phone still gets a quick buzz :s, connections is ended at eother end, no voicemail possible, so it works in that way :D

  • BlackBerry User 1

    this app works great…I have the BB Pearl 8100 and it the app hangs up the call and doesn’t allow voice mail. Make sure and set your application setting and reboot – take out the battery.

  • masterMason1997

    Hell it works on my BlackBerry Tour 9630! Great software!

  • feefee

    This app works great on my BB Curve 8330! It rings once and sends em straight to voicemail not to bad for a free app!

  • james H

    I agree with CVille, the iCall app works excellent. I’m using the BlackBerry Bold 9700 with OS 5. I tested both apps using my boost mobile prepaid phone. I set my permissions to allow and read the manual but callsblocker simply sends messages to voicemails. iCall can send a message to voicemail or it can block the call from going thru all together…

    I’m scared to pay for the item b/c i’ve read horror stories where people didn’t get the serial number…

  • cipkalo

    Blackberry STORM 1. AND IT WORKS!
    This application is absolutely fab. I have an idiot calling from around 15 numbers in the same area, therefore, I blocked the calls from the call log as well as the begin with numbers. Not only that it works, but I can’t switch it off now. lol. But I guess, since I have still not read instructions for the same – what do I expect. BUT FOR ALL THE ABOVE COMMENTING THAT THE APP DOES NOT WORK, ASK YOURSELF THE CRUCIAL QUESTION – HAVE YOU RESETED YOUR BLACKBERRY. THAT MADE IT WORK FOR ME.
    lol
    All the best to author. Praises only. Give us an SMS blocker please, you are genius.
    regards

  • Caledan

    Works great on my Bold 9000, will be testing it on the 9700 shortly. Never an issue after I set it to active mode.
    Keep up the great work!
