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.
