Hi,

it brings some difficulties from user point of view if both blacklist and whitelist are available. For example you would have to order the groups based on importance since you can add "all unknown numbers" etc to the list(s).

Hi,

I wouldn't be so sure about that :) Since we already considered that and decided that appreciable amount of the users would set up the blocker incorrectly, unfortunately.

I do not undestand where is a problem.

You make this metod in firewall function (allow selected, deny selected).

I ask to implement this function also in call/sms filter (like in firewall) so that i not use other program for this function.

Yes and many users are confused, because they are not able to understand, how it is working.
