THier call blocking is more polite than mine... mine says The person you are trying to contact does not wish to receive calls from your number.

EDIT: the link statica provided brings me to an error page---i think verizion is having website troubles or something.

This might be of some service to you as well.

Unless the callers are people you are already doing business with, I found this to be quite effective for stopping telemarketers.

That's just from our local phone service.

I forgot to mention for the cell phone, depending on your cell phone, you might find software (especially if its a Windows Mobile or Symbian) that will allow you to have a white and black list for callers.

what option would i look for that would have this? theres alot of weird stuff in my cell that i dont no what it means.

It's not built in usually, it's software that you can download. For example, I use Advanced Call Manager from www.webgate.bg
