Description

THE ORIGINAL! Ignore the other similarly named apps - they cheat the system and are flooded with fake reviews and illegitimate sales!

Blacklist creates a contact named "Blacklisted Number" full of thousands of numbers (over 30,000 and growing) belonging to US telemarketers, scammers, and prank callers on your iPhone so that when one of these numbers calls, you know not to answer. With the minutes it saves you, Blacklist should pay for itself.

To download a silent ringtone for use with Blacklist either go to the support page or copy/paste this URL: http://www.callerdb.com/SilentRingtone.m4r

UPDATED

- Blacklist now stores any number you've added regardless of whether or not it's been blacklisted by the community on callerdb.com

- Minor tweaks to allow users to easily assign a ringtone to the contact Blacklist creates. Check web FAQ for instructions on assigning a ringtone, and feel free to download the silent ringtone provided on the support website and URL above.

How Blacklist Works

Blacklist connects to callerdb.com's extensive database of problem callers every time you sync. You can do your part and add to this database by using the Submit Number feature.

NOTE: This app has nothing to do with the similarly named "iBlacklist" for jailbroken iPhones. **There is NO way to block calls through legitimate apps on the app store.**

To the reviewers - thank you for your honesty! I'm sorry the app slows down syncing, unforunately there's no other way to get access to the list (of blacklisted numbers) during an incoming call so as a developer you have to put it in the address book. If Apple allows us to query our database during an incoming call this app would be 100% better I agree!

What's New in Version 1.4

- Customize your Blacklist by adding and deleting numbers
- Lowered default number of imported telemarketer numbers to 500 for new users to limit problems with syncing.
- updated icon
- updated graphics

not good (1 star)
Doesn't block calls just gives you a heads up who's calling so you don't answer it.... Don't buy it!
