Thanks for the update; we've been very busy over the last few days implementing support for IE. We had totally forgotten about the feedback option, an admittedly rookie mistake.

There is no feedback option on the site, something very basic but missed by most of the websites.

Maybe we can pursue that option once we're all settled in and rolling. @Vikas: The monetization model's pretty simple actually. We project a fairly decent cash flow per customer, enough to churn out good-to-go profits. Hey guys, thanks for the comments.

I already have a list of numbers stored on my phone that I can give them! "Every user receives a set of new telemarketing spam numbers on a periodic basis, via SMS, the website, or browser extensions." This is too painful. How about setting up a SyncML server instead? Then I can just set up syncing and forget about it. This would also be the easiest way of reporting a new spam number -- just add it to the address book! Awesome idea.

We will definitely look into that. We think the same about TRAI. TRAI is a good initiative from the government but as India is a democratic country, ultimate power lies in the hand of the people. So using BanKaro platform people can come and give spammers a good lesson. Hey Animesh, Thanks for the suggestion. We will definitely look into that.
