How to Set Up Call Barring on a Blackberry 8800
Plenty of cell phones allow you to block, or call bar, unwanted phone numbers. Unfortunately, you can not simply do this on your BlackBerry 8800 or any BlackBerry cell phone. However, there is a quick and simple way to call bar a variety of numbers through the BlackBerry App World. Call Blocker 2.0 for BlackBerry ($8.99 USD, as of 2010) can be downloaded through your BlackBerry phone and will block calls based time, name or phone number. You can send any unwanted calls right to your voice mail, or dismiss the call altogether.
