PrivacyStar for BlackBerry Blocks Unwanted Callers - 5 Subscriptions to Give Away

By Adam Zeis on 20 Jan 2010 02:39 pm

PrivacyStar

A few days ago we saw the release of PrivacyStar from First Orion. The application makes it easy for you to block unwanted callers, telemarketers, 800 numbers and more from getting through to your BlackBerry. Users can login to the web portal and add or remove numbers from their blocked list. PrivacyStar will run you $2.99 a month, but a free 30-day trial is available. Features include:

Report offenders to authorities directly using PrivacyStar
Block unwanted callers from your call log menu or enter numbers manually
Block private or unknown callers
Block Exchanges
On demand PrivacyStar caller identification
Fully integrated with your PrivacyStar.com portal
Keep track of how many PrivacyStar calls you're receiving

The response after the release was so great that First Orion gave us 5 free one-year subscriptions to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST.

More information and download of PrivacyStar >>

tucker973 Jan 20, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Way to keep away those bill collectors, heh heh

asggold Jan 20, 2010 at 3:03 pm

I have been waiting for the right application that would do this without blocking the calls you really want. I have had trouble in the past with one bank (Wells Fargo) not taking my cell number off their list. Even after numerous attempts and calling them and telling the representative the person who they were trying to reach was NOT at this number, they somehow NEVER could remove my cell number from their list.

I REALLY would like to win this package!

c0rinne Jan 20, 2010 at 3:03 pm

I would use this to keep my boss from calling me. I always feel bad when I hang up on her.

Mailyfesux Jan 20, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Wow this is cool. I just got a soliciting call earlier today in class. Horrible. I want to win a copy! Thanks!

This is the perfect app for someone who uses a mobile fone without having a home landline and needs to block the unwanted solicitors.

always looking Jan 20, 2010 at 4:22 pm

With the elections coming this year I would like to see how well it blocks the political calls coming in. Then I might purchase it.

kejoal11 Jan 20, 2010 at 5:14 pm

Having this would give me a great peace of mind from the ex wife. She is a bad influence for my kids hence the reason I have them and I would love to have her number blocked to avoid her talking to my kids without me being there as I allow to answer my phone.

parabellum Jan 20, 2010 at 8:08 pm

Would love one.

gspisak Jan 20, 2010 at 8:13 pm

I totally need this! So many unwanted calls!!!

wireless0ne Jan 20, 2010 at 8:13 pm

this would be beautiful.

biggie213 Jan 20, 2010 at 8:13 pm

Cool

bobp127001 Jan 20, 2010 at 8:16 pm

Very useful

missleslie09 Jan 20, 2010 at 8:32 pm

I have sooo many blocked callers calling me, it's crazy. And of course AT&T can't do anything about it. I would love to have this!

dwardlaw Jan 20, 2010 at 8:34 pm

If the reverse lookup feature of this product is strong, that is worth the subscription price by itself. I generally don't accept any calls if I don't recognize the number. I would love to have a quick easy way to perform a lookup directly from the BB phone app instead of having to launch a browser and perform a Google search....

Ghostrider757 Jan 20, 2010 at 8:35 pm

You gotta be in it to win it so count me in!

tscharron Jan 20, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Seriously, I recently moved from Missouri to Phoenix, Arizona and got a recycled phone number...from someone running from all kinds of bills and bill collectors. I need this to block the bill collectors that don't accept the fact that I am not the woman they are looking for.

kenundrem Jan 20, 2010 at 8:50 pm

looks like a cool program I would love this!

mpwhiteman Jan 20, 2010 at 8:52 pm

O man I so want one of these it would be so sick to get one.
