For now the only option that will reject private calls is the "All (reject private calls)". On a future release I will redesign the "ui" so you can just have "reject calls including private calls".

There is/was another application just for that - not by me.
I added to mycontacts because I had 99% of the code for it already. I don't see much of a reason to split the projects but I can see where some extra options/changes would make sense for someone like you, only looking for this functionality: not keep "all" the contacts in memory (just the ones that have to be rejected) and create the "reject with private". They are on my list.

Why is that so?

The widget should show both as long as it can fit in one line of text. It should show exact like what you see on the "mycontacts" windows.

If you find one that should fit but still does not show right, export as a vcard and send to me.

@fcrochik

Both other callblockers are useless. pycallblocker never worked right for me, catblock works but you have to start the daemon manually at each reboot cause the init script is broken in a weird way I wasn't able to fully fix. Plus it took up to 20sec to wake up and reject. Yours is far far better.Thanks!

I will check the name lengths regarding the widget.

How do you add "private" Calls to the call blocking feature? Also, it is possible to add just a number to the call blocker box without necessary adding the person to your contact list?

If you have the latest version you just need to go to settings\"Monitor Incoming Calls for" and select "All (reject private calls)".

As it is you MUST add the phone numbers to a contact but you can add all the phone numbers to a single contact if you want.

It shouldn't. It should only popup once after you upgraded. Make sure to exit the application once using the "shutdown" button (instead of killing it) then start again - it should not show the webpage anymore. Let me know.

MyContacts has received just one vote on extras-testing and its Quarantine has already expired.

Please vote so it can be promoted to extras and I can promote the last release to testing.
