- I just saw a caller ID box for sale at Sears that does just that. I assume
- you have to get them to call you before you can block the number - i.e.,
- you can't just program-in the number.

- And the local phone company sells a call block service that also does this.
- When you use the service from the phone company, I believe the person gets
- a recording telling them the call was blocked.
