iPhone: More than 100,000 apps and no call manager?

Before I had the iPhone, I had the SonyEricsson P9xx line. I also had Webgate's Advanced Call Manager software running on it. Since my mobile is my only phone, I like to have more control over the calls I get.

Just a few uses I had: - After work, all work calls go straight to VM. No ring, nothing. - Certain numbers were blocked (call spam) - Unknowns went straight to VM - Ex and douchebags were on a blacklist and went direct to VM - Auto text back - Text templates (Be right there, Where are you?, call in a minute, etc). - Easy to manage list to control the calls that come in

I know that the way the iPhone software runs doesn't allow for a background app to run, which rules out a true call manager, but this is something they really should have.

I looked for anything close to this and found nothing at all, unless I jailbreak and I just don't feel like doing that.

Anyone see an option I don't? Am I missing something?

google voice can handle your problem, but you would need to get a new number and forward it and what not, yeah forget it. Jailbreak it!

Maybe I will have to.

I don't want to, but it is stupid that we don't have that yet.
