• Number of the phone, information form which is blocked for a black list and is delivered to the allowed list by Call & SMS Filter.
• Types of events which Call & SMS Filter blocks for the list of blocked and delivers for the list of allowed records. The following types of information can be delivered: calls and SMS, calls only, SMS only.
• Key phrase by which Call & SMS Filter detects wanted and unwanted SMS. For the list of blocked records Call & SMS Filter blocks SMS with the phrase and delivers SMS that do not contain such a phrase. For the list of allowed phrases Call & SMS Filter delivers a SMS that contains such a phrase and blocks an SMS without such phrase.

Call & SMS Filter sorts SMS and calls according to the selected mode. According to the mode Call & SMS Filter checks every incoming SMS or call and defines whether it is wanted or not (spam). The check is completed as soon as Call & SMS Filter assigns a status (wanted or unwanted) to an SMS/ call.
