There are some rather basic tasks I'd like to be able to program into my cell phone:
1) Block calls from certain numbers ( blacklist) or only allow calls from certain numbers ( whitelist).
2) Require callers to enter a secret code and only ring the phone if they do so correctly. Possibly take a message otherwise. Each contact in the phone should have their own secret code, so I can invalidate it if they give it out.
3) When in "Emergency Only" mode, don't ring unless the caller also indicates that this is an emergency, like "Press 1 for an emergency". I should also be able to block this ability for a given contact, if they abuse it.
I'm also interested in the same capabilities in a land line. Can any do these things ? (I asked a similar Q long ago, but offerings may have changed since then.) StuRat ( talk) 17:23, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
