</div>While I've never thought of taking it that far, this is one of the<br>
prime reasons I will be getting an OM. Most phones have very limited<br>
inbound call rules. I'll setup certain phone numbers to always ring<br>
the phone, only allow unknown numbers to ring the phone during certain<br>
times, etc.<br>

Coming out of lurking mode...<br><br>Although I'm not sure I would like a blacklist coming from the Internet (for all the scenarios that Heikki is invoking), I would definitely like a flexible blacklist/whitelist mechanism, at the minimum being able to group Contact entries into different groups and have ring overrides for some of these groups in different profiles.<br>
<br>I'm thinking about different scenarios like: "during a meeting, don't ring except if caller is in the VIP list" or "after business hours, ring for anyone except if it's in a group called work". I would guess it would make more sense to have this done using a generic mechanism (something like: create a new profile. Select default ringer (on or off). Then, add exception groups that should behave contrary to the default for the profile). This way, different users with different needs would be able to get what they want.<br>
