    -SMS Blocking
    -Block Log
    -Search and sort of Contacts
    Please note that from now on the priority for updating will be given to CallFilter Pro.

    You can use “Setting Advice” in the setting window to check the status of the last blocked number and confirm if there are any mistakes.
    We have received reports from many users. See the below for FAQ:
    -Misunderstood that “unknown calls” meant “the numbers not in the Contacts” and did not register any numbers in the Filter List.
    -The incoming number was not registered in the Filter List. Concerning the reports claiming that the blocked incoming calls are transferred to voice mail, CallFilter does not block incoming calls in many of these cases too.
    -The check box of “Control specified numbers” was off.
    -In the reports transferring to voice mail, the option of “Hung up after connecting” option was not used.
  • Sometimes I fail to block.
    Due to load, status or timing of your handset, there are some cases that blocking process is not executed.
    The frequency of failure can be reduced by deleting the block settings such as selecting numbers (start with) or numbers not in Contacts.
  • After blocking an incoming call, the ring tone gets silent mode.
    It may happen when you installed some other applications to block incoming calls or change the ring tone.
    Uninstall those applications which activate at receiving incoming.
  • At blocking an incoming call, occasionally the handset rings just for a second.
    The blocking process is executed after receiving incoming calls. your handset may rings for several seconds.
    It will depend on the model or timing. This may be avoided if you set the ring tone silent for first several seconds.
  • I set to block unknown calls. Then calls from a public phone are also blocked
    Unknown incoming calls could be:
    1.From a caller with the number withheld.(anonymous caller)
    2.From a public phone.
    3.From an area that unable to notify.
    Unless the phone program of carriers are modified, our program cannot distinguish these three types.
    Please note that if you set blocking unknown incoming calls, calls from a public phone and international phone calls which are unable to notify callers ID will be also blocked.
