About

Ebbasta

Features
Read full description

Ebbasta vi consente di gestire, facilmente, una lista di numeri dai quali non volete ricevere chiamate; iOS si occuperà poi, in autonomia e sicurezza, di bloccarle evitandovi qualunque fastidio. Poiché molti call center utilizzano dei centralini elettronici che chiamano da un numero di base con diverse varianti sulle cifre finali, Ebbasta vi consente facilmente di bloccarli tutti, indicandone solo uno e lasciando che Ebbasta si occupi di bloccare anche le diverse possibili varianti. La lista dei numeri da bloccare, può essere salvata su un file per essere importata successivamente o anche condivisa con un altro utente di Ebbasta. Ebbasta vi rende anche disponibile una lista di numeri che sono segnalati in rete, da altri utenti o da siti specializzati, come possibili origini di chiamate spam, in modo tale che possiate decidere di inserirli nella vostra lista e bloccarli ancora prima che vi chiamino. Inoltre, potete anche segnalare voi dei numeri che potrebbero essere spam, per condividerli con gli altri utilizzatori dell'App. Ebbasta vi consente anche di sospendere le attività di blocco, programmandone i periodi di sospensione.
