Unmasking Blocked Calls App on the Market?

[left4dead]

Does anyone know if there is an app in the Android Market that UNBLOCKS incoming private/restricted numbers?

Also is there one that completely prevents blocked/private/unknown numbers from calling your phone?

Either or would be appreciated. Verizon offers the latter but at an additional cost.

Thanks in advance.

Don't use this myself. I found it by searching. Surprised you haven't found it already.

Blocking all blocked numbers from calling would be easy. Knowing who calls all the time not so much. I don't think your phone ever receives that information from the carrier.

wow I like that trap call but OUCH $60 a year is a steep price to pay.

I wouldn't have thought something like that was even possible. For if a number is 'private', 'not available' or 'withheld', that number is not transmitted to the phone, app, website or third-party. There's just an indication as to why the number is not available. There can be genuine reasons to withhold a phone number when calling another party. Plus if a call is made with something like Skype Out, there is no phone number.

I use Blacklist (free in the playstore) to block all calls and messages from people not in my contact list or private numbers. They can leave a voicemail if they are legit (or I can read their message in the blocked list that I read through about once a week).

As for knowing who a private number is, I will know who they are when they leave a voicemail.
