LOL, this article states that there aren't any good options for the iphone:
iPhone : Not a straight-forward option available for iPhones. There is an app
called "BlackList" which costs $1.99 which can free you from thousands of
telemarketers. In case you have a jailbroken iPhone, there are couple of neat
apps which will help you – MCleaner & iBlacklist.
I've tried all the other solutions. Its my personal pet peeve but I'm just one
consumer. I was merely explaining what I meant by developers not being allowed
to bring a solution to this nagging pet peeve.
