Malware with the permission to block calls would also have the permission to make calls, wouldn't it? If so, would think that be more serious, potentially running up substantial bills - and point to the same caution of users needing to be careful of what applications with phone permissions they install. I would think that the ability to block calls, for example all calls not in contacts, is much more likely to be employed to combat malware of the robo-dialer sort used by unscrupulous telemarketers... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
