What I would really like to see in cell phones is the ability to ban calls/SMS from some phone numbers much like we can do with email. Every day I get calls saying "Hello! I'm calling from XYZ bank. Would like to go for our credit card/loan/insurance...". If someone could maintain a database of these "rogue" phone no.s, all I have to do is download that list and block calls from those numbers.
Luckily, in Australia, we have the
Do Not Call Register. If you are registered, you won't get calls from telemarketers. However, this register do not stop calls from government bodies, political parties, religious organizations, and some others. Are there any other countries that have similar register?
