Jacob,
Good stuff!
This looks like a very useful candidate for a Safaricom Appstore app.
Then, as Conrad has suggested, you can drop the 'unofficial' tag... since (hopefully) it does not occasionally sambaza a bob etc
@peter scam messages and calls are so common these days. The idea is
to have crowd sourced database of numbers and messages the app updates
from. Also currently included in the app suspicious call numbers or
messages are automatically fowarded to 333, safaricoms fraud unit and
blocked or deleted. You wont even realize it.
