I would like to be the decision maker. May be they can store a log and voice mails (think junk folder) that i have an option to check and delete.

Please.. does this work at the network level?It would be good if you guys sold your solution to operators,rather than make a web based solution of it. If I understand correctly,then i need to install an app right? Does the app automatically intercept calls and block them?How do you build the 'circle of trust'?

Thanks for a nice suggestion. We will surely look into it. @vivek. Your trust circle acts as a proactive filter for you. Ban Karo maintains a list of numbers which have a high probability to call you up and bug you. So now the answer of the question that how exactly will you be protected depends upon the phone you are using. If you don't want to run out of your phone book then you will have to install an application which will store the number in phone memory. And depending upon on the settings an incoming spam call will be barred or just marked as spam. @binny. Thanks for a nice suggestion. We will surely look into it.

I wonder what type of info it needs to build up this context. Where i live? all the companies i deal with etc? It will be interesting to see how it deals with spammers trying to introduce noise. Also with an evergrowing list...do i memorize all phone numbers? Or do i fill up my phone book with them ? Or before answering a call, I should check up on bankaro.com? I think its too much effort for end user to keep the spam phone number list updated manually vs just picking up the phone and cancelling the call. Is there a phone app in works that will recommend me with some degree of certainity if I should pick up a call .. fancy huh ?   Going thru the FAQ it seems that the service will create a phone list based on your social context.
