Question

I am getting calls from people with whom I do not want to have contact. I would like to block their nu,bers rather than get the police involved.

Answer 1

Phone company has services that allow this, similar to *69. They would be redirected to a recording that says you're not accepting calls.

Answer 2

If you are with British Telecom just give the a call and for only £10 a quarter you can block upto 10 numbers from calling you, after they register you for the service you are given a 5 digit code to put inyour phone straight after receiving an unwanted call, Not sure about mobiles but i'd imagine the network would help if you give them a call.
