This looks to be a very interesting program that is worth trying.  Check out the feature list  below ... and BTW, it's FREE.

CallFirewall basically rejects unwanted calls.

a. Accept all calls - pretty self explanatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explanatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected. for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
f. There is also an option to reply with an SMS.

Ver 1.1
----------
Also added an option when selected, will ask you whether to send an SMS when a call is rejected
Ver 1.2
----------
1. Added option to reject unknown / private / withheld nos
2. Option to Add Accepted calls as calendar appointment
3. Option to Add Rejected calls as calendar appointment
4. Toggle Option to show 'CallFirewall' in 'running programs' / Task Managers

I use this prog now, but it seems to be hit and miss.

some anonymous calls get through
incoming calls rarely get entered into the calendar
It should have a tray item, instead of a hidden main form

The price is right, but it needs some more help.

What price is that? Free?

I've been playing around with this application:

Phone Guard

It is not free, but in addition to blocking phone calls, it also allows you to selectively block text messages (I got my 1st spam text message just the other day).

it does a good job of rejecting set calls, so far (<1week) it has rejected all me calls properly.

Some funny things have happened tho... with nothing running, as soon as i installed it, something accessed the web. while it is open, the web gets accessed. I have NEVER gotten an unknown / private call to this date on the fone. I thought it would be a good idea to have it do those too, so I checked that button. well today I had it reject 6 or so calls. HhMmmmmm. Do I smell something fishy? or is it just me. I think I'll pick a number at random and see if It shows rejected calls.

Anyone had strange things going on? Or is it just my amagination.
