Call Control by EveryCall.us is an application that will automatically block all those unwanted calls from spamming telemarketers.  It works directly with the EveryCall.us website and checks their database to see if that number has already been reported.  If it hasn’t you can quickly add the unwanted number to the community through the app.  Once it recognizes that the number is indeed spam the app will either disconnect the call altogether or send the caller straight to voicemail.  Either way you’ll never hear a peep from your phone.

Call Control Features:

  • Blocks calls without a ring.
  • Call blocking by personal and community blacklists.
  • Automatic community blacklist updates from EveryCall.us.
  • Personal blacklist and whitelist.
  • Personal whitelist and automatic adress book contacts whitelisting.
  • Lookup unrecognized phone calls directly from your call log.
  • Block calls from Private and Unknown callers.
  • Blacklist and report calls directly from the BlackBerry call log.
  • Report spam calls right from your BlackBerry.
  • Block telemarketers and spam callers reported by FCC Do Not Call complaints.
  • Call log shows “Blocked Calls”.
  • Address book contacts are never blocked.
  • Automatically runs when device starts (optional).
  • Blocking calls by area code (available in personal blacklist only).
  • Send blocked calls to voicemail or disconnect them.

  • Supports RIM OS 4.2+.
  • Free Online Integration – Manage your call reports from your free profile at EveryCall.us.
  • Free product updates and support.
Call Control includes a 14 day free trial of the pro version which includes all the essential features.  After the trial is up you have to pay a one time fee of $7.99.  There is also a free lite version that has some limits like only one update from the community blacklist.  The fact that Call Control can interrupt a call before it even rings your phone is pretty amazing and makes it worth giving the free trial a run.
