Phonehook is a multi-purpose Sailfish application to enhance phone functionality.

 

Caller Lookup

Information will appear in an overlay on top of the incoming call screen. This information is extracted directly from different online phone number directories.

Call Blocking

You can block unwanted callers by adding them to the block list. You can either pick a contact from your phone or add a number manually. Support for wildcards means you can block calls from a certain country or region. You can also add a source for automatic call blocking. All numbers flagged as spam by this source will be blocked. Since this feature could potentially end up blocking calls you actually want, use with caution! Check your blocked calls history now and then, and if you notice some source blocking calls it shouldn't, please report the issue on gituhub.

Directory Search

With the search functionality, you can search for people or businesses and call them directly from the app. You can also bring up the maps application for the listed address or save the result to your contacts. Some sources requires you to log in before this will give results.

About Sailfish OS Updates

Sailfish OS upgrades recommends uninstalling phonehook before upgrading. If you are running a somewhat recent version of phonehook (0.4.0 and later), this recommendation is no longer relevant. Newer versions of phonehook do not interfer with OS upgrades. Version 0.3.x and earlier modifies the Sailfish homescreen, which may cause issues in some scenarios. 0.4.0+ does not modify the homescreen.

 

Planned Features

  • ✓ Contact creation
  • ✓ Automated call blocking
  • ✓ Offline caching
  • ✓ Lookup recent incoming calls
  • ✓ Name search and dialing
  • ✓​ Manual & contact call blocking

Application is brilliant. It makes life with difficult people tolerable. Automated spammer add on with insults for those whom not respect and understand: peace, concentration and proper kingdom of loneliness -would be welcome aswell ;) Of course several reasonable reasons why it cannot be part of base.

Huge thanks for contributors because
too too long time I tried to understand this: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Cellular_Telephony_Architecture#Telepathy_Fr... to find a file where to add a row with idea: if contactname contains "blocked" -> dont show incoming call pop up. Because personal ringtone app handles mute nicely so only blocking the pop up in qml or whatever would have been enough.

But I couldn't find what I was looking for, felt completely idiot and get brainlessly depressed.

Huge thanks & superior appreciation for all contributors in time of bringing relief in mental pain.

Does Phonehook requires SailfishOS 3 now?

I have Phonehook v0.6.3-3 installed, and while Storeman shows there is the new 0.9.0-1 available (on my device with SFOS 2.2) the app is not upgradeable.

starting from version 0.7.0 you need SFOS 3 as I switched the API calls to their new equivalents, which are no longer comaptible.

In theory it should be possible to implement both APIs and use a switch, but I did not spend the effort to do so.

Ok, thanks.

Would you mind adding a note about this requirement in the app description or at least the changelog?

Phonehook works just fine, but having a better way to actually block a sender from texting me would be great.

As of now I have added a number in the block list, but I still recieve texts from that number.

I have used Phonehook for a couple of months now. It works well, but I ran into a problem. Somehow a lot of sms messages are blocked. This caused me to miss an appointment. I also did not receive an SMS from Apple and DigID.

Neat. Long waited to this come back. Fonecta App -source worked right away. In XA2 popup and text is quite small, but readable.

Thanks for this update. Very welcomimg. I found some encoding bug, with the German "Das Örtliche" where names with umlauts are encoded wrongly. With "Das Telefonbuch" the same name is displayed in the correct manner.
