Hi all,
I'm having difficulty understanding why anyone hasn't invented a clean app that does what I list below. It seems simple to me, and I need it to prevent myself from making outgoing calls and texts to certain numbers for reasons not to be discussed here (no willpower). I'm considering switching from an iPhone to another phone because as I understand Apple doesn't allow app designers to have such control over their phone.
1) I download a program, and make is password protected so that in order to any of the following listed below, I need to enter that password. I would either ask someone I trust to enter that password or choose something random and throw it away.
2) enter a list of numbers that the phone will BLOCK me from either sending an outgoing text to, or make an outgoing call to AS WELL as denying and deleting incoming texts and calls from those numbers. I don't want this controlled by contact, just the raw numbers themselves as I'd like and hope to eventually forget them and not be able to retrieve them from my contacts.
I would think this would be very simple, similar to setting email filtering rules. If, then, delete, move, etc. You would almost think the phones themselves would have this capability.
I would be willing to pay upwards of $50 for an app that ACTUALLY did all of those things. Essentinally 4 FOUR things, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there. Why is that? Am I missing something?
