Intercept incoming call ios sdk (Non Jailbreak)

Question

Hi i have tried for bundle of times and find out that iOS SDK does not give us access due to security reasons for getting following data;

Intercept an incoming call (Getting phone number from incoming call)

Read Call history

Intercept SMS (Getting phone number from incoming SMS and reading its contents)

Block an incoming call etc

Here are some of the links resulting from my search about this issue:-

I also found that CoreTelephony CTCall object provide us only limited info, Just call state and its unique Id. But nothing else we can get by using CoreTelephony framework.

But, I have seen one application on app store that does gets incoming call phone number.

I wonder how this app Callinize iPone App works and gets incoming call info?

I also want the same thing to do with my app. But i did't find such a way to do. Please help if you can.

Thanks!

I'm late to the party here, but I was just reading the description of Callinize. They built an integration with the Asterix pbx system and it only works with Asterix. So this app does not really access iOS phone calls.
