They already do. Unfortunately, it can be a hinderance, too. I have my number blocked, but my sister has blocked numbers blocked. So if I want to call her, I have to use a landline phone that gives out the ID.[/b] Sean... it is called Privacy ID Service.
If it is "Unknown" or "Out Of Area" my phone never rings. They have to "State your name or your companies name". Their computer never does it and my phone never rings.
If you are a live person an say "I'm from Joe's Siding" my phone rings. I press "1" to accept. I press "2" to block and the person gets a recording saying basically take me off your list and leave me alone.
Mobycat... if you are using a your landline phone you can temporarily unblock your number before each phone call.
