blocking phone numbers
 

This is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to block a phone number or range of phone numbers without asking my service provider to do it? Like, is there a type of phone (house phone) I can get that won't accept calls from certain numbers, or something?

I'm not sure, but you can buy a caller display unit which will display the numbers of incoming calls, and then you can choose not to answer.

I think our phone shows the caller's number, but if I don't answer they just keep phoning over and over.

erm... i'm not sure... but I think that you do have to go through your service provider...

good luck

We're going to get our phone number changed on Monday, so this doesn't matter any more. I'll just have to ignore the phone until then.
