How to use Auto Call Blocker (Pro)
Rules for adding special numers
Click on Custom number button, give a name and add the number as follows
1. Start with country code, Example: +91 India, +44 UK.
2. Then add the number. This number can contain '?'. Each '?' can match a single number from 0 to 9. You can have as many '?' as you want. And you can place this '?' wherever you want. Example: +919743?????? can match number from +919743000000 to +919743999999. Example: +91?????????? can match from +910000000000 to +919999999999. Example: +91??712345678 can match +910012345678 to +919912345678.
3. Excluding the country code, the length of phone number must match with length of Blocked number. Example: 9743?????? and 9743123456 are same. But 9743?????? and 974312345 are not because their length are different.
4. '?' can appear anywhere in the number, Including the country code. Example: '+??' can match any country code which has two digits +91 India, +44 UK.

For Pro users
1. Use "Custom Number" button to add your own number. Always start your custom number with your "COUNTRY CODE". Ex: +91 (India), +1 (US).
2. Use "Contacts" button to add numbers from your contact.
3. Use "Call Log" button to add numbers from your Call log.
4. Use "Blocked Numbers" button to view current blocked numbers.
5. Use "Block Log" button to view calls blocked by this app.
6. In App Settings you can enable/disable Text To Speech. If your phone supports TTS then this app can provide voice notification for every call blocked based on TTS enabled or disabled.
7. The extra features are the ability to run the app in different modes.
8. In App "Settings" you can select either "meeting" or "driving" mode.
9. In "meeting" mode all the calls will be automatically blocked and a message will be sent to those numbers. In this mode TTS is disabled by default. If the calling number is already in your blocking list then message will not be sent.
10. "Driving" mode works similarly except for TTS is enabled by default. You can always disable TTS by using App Settings.
11. If you don't want to send message when app is in "driving" or "meeting" mode you can disable it using "Message Feedback" option in App Settings.
12. Finally there is a number which is 15 by default. It specify message latency. Its use is: Consider you are in meeting mode. If you get a call it will be blocked by default and a message is sent. If he same person calls you within 15 minutes of first call it will be blocked but no message is sent. You can control this gap between sending messages using this field. It supports value between 15 to 59 minutes.
13. Pro users can't change the message content. It is set to a default message and same message is sent.Permissions explained:
"Call phone" permission is required to end the call from blocked number without user interaction. No calls are made directly without user interaction. You can check this by clicking "Block log" button and click on any number in the list, you see an option to call, but that call is done only after user hitting the call button in Phone application.
"Read call log", "Read contacts" permissions are required to get the list of contact and call log in your phone so that you can add numbers to blocking list from these applications. These information are never shared with anyone by this app.
"Read phone state" permission is used to wait for an incoming call and get the Phone number of incoming call. Apart from this no other personal information about the phone is retrieved using this permission.
"Receive boot completed" permission is required to automatically start this app after restarting this phone. This is highly required because you can get calls at any time after starting your phone. This app uses separate threads and good optimization techniques so that it wont take much loading time and uses very less RAM so your device doesn't become slow.
"Vibrate" permission is used to vibrate your phone when a call is blocked.
"Send SMS" permission is required to send a notification to the person whose call is blocked.
I respect user privacy and I guarantee no personal information about the user is collected and shared by app and the permissions granted are never used to collect and share personal information and to incur any cost to the user.
