When AddOnis first told me they were out of beta I told them that their $15 price point was a bit to high for such a utility. Turns out that they listened and lowered their price to $9.95 on sale to $7.47 until Sep 30th. This little utility is everything from a call blocker to an alert manager and is a really handy utility. I highly recommend giving it a spin if you have not tried it during the beta period. They are also offering some reductions to people who purchased the app while it was $14.95. Still with all the features the app packs in the price is not that hard to justify anymore.

With the installation of only one small file, AddOnis adds features normally added by multiple utilities – and with AddOnis – all of these extensions have been designed to work together perfectly in harmony.
AddOnis extends system functionality, enabling features missing from the system that make your device easier and more efficient to use by adding all of the choices you always wanted to your menu selections.
AddOnis also adds features to the device, letting you selectively block or permit calls from certain numbers, adding options to various alerts, adding a configurable missed call indicator, providing In-Call notifications and so much more.
