[Development] Native option to block numbers: incoming spam calls / SMS

 

Hi,

I use since many months Ubuntu Touch on a BQ Aquaris E4.5 and I'm very satisfied with it.

Just there is a feature missing which is very important and useful: I get many spam incoming calls (or SMS), and I'd like to have the option to directly block them from Ubuntu call logs interface, or being able to manage a blacklist to add manually other numbers.

All numbers on the blacklist would be rejected, without ringing nor going to answering machine nor displaying the short message. User wouldn't be informed that they tried to call, only on the blacklist logs they could appear for example.

There is a program, F-Call (http://f-call-dev.blogspot.fr) which seems to work well for that, but is not open-source for the moment.

Do you think it is something possible and easy to develop, or is there for the moment too much more urgent planned work to implement this blacklist (which could be named Blocklist) option ?

Thanks and best regards,

Xavier Guillot
