Have you ever been nagged by pesky telemar¬keters who won't take No for an answer? Or how about those times when you want some peace and quiet and your phone just won't stop ringing? Epocware Handy's Blacklist could be your saviour.

True to its name, the application blocks callers from calling you. When you run Blacklist for the first time, a dialog box appears, which allows you to block callers. From here, you can choose if you want to block numbers from recent calls, private numbers, unknown numbers, and your contact list; if you want to enter the number manually, you have that option too. The Settings menu allows you to automatically add rejected numbers to the blacklist and keep a log of all blocked numbers for up to 60 days.

Unlike other monitoring software, Blacklist starts automatically with your phone. The only downside of the application that we found was that it did not display an alert every time it blocked a number, so you'd never know until you checked the logs.
