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.

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.

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.

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