I agree, I think control is something the user should have rather than the provider supplying the solution.

Technologically speaking, implementing something like this is pretty simple.But it will cost the provider money rather than make money - which makes this investment pointless (No company will invest money to loose even more....).

I currently own a N900 and i have an app to block calls (currently blacklist only) i think - though i am not familiar with the N900 incoming call API - it should be rather simple to implement a whitelist instead.

And i pretty sure the same goes for SMS etc...

But frankly i don't really want that kind of blocking, i would prefer blocking numbers of known spammers (which i have a list of) while occasionally letting one pass through the filter, rather than miss even one important call which could change my life (And it happens every day doesn't it?)
