Calls blacklist

[Wescoeur]

Add a sip addresses list in Settings to block and reject calls.

Problem: If a sip address is on a contact, is it necessary to block the other sip addresses of this contact?

Most of the callers I want to block are "one time callers" which call repeatedly a few times in a row and then never again (more or less). So I'd rather have a simpler UI than having to go through settings.
E.g. I'd imagine maintaining a whitelist, and when a caller is not in the whitelist, instead of being offered 2 options (answer or not), I'd be offered 3 options (answer, don't answer, and add to blacklist (which would ask for confirmation before doing so)).

It seems good and correct! But I must remind you that feature is not a high priority at the moment.
It remains many features to add in the next minor version and fixes to apply.

Too bad: it's my #1 missing feature. More than half of the calls I receive are spam that I'd like to block. For that reason I cannot tell my family to install Linphone on their phone/tablet (since they'd just come back saying "your foophone thingy is just crap that keeps bugging me about bogus phone calls").

+1 I'm having to uninstall and find an alternative. A spammer calls 8-9 times a day, often at horrific times of day (like 2am) and I cant block him and its driving me nuts and affecting my health getting thrown out of bed to answer these criminals

May I ask which you chose? I'm gonna have to switch now that I realize there is no way to stop this besides opening a browser, going to the SIP provider, and blacklisting it that way... Which I suppose I could automate... :P
