A mom somewhere does.

I stand by this as well

Also, no one ever REALLY wants to block numbers...what they REALLY want is a new number for free! 🙄
...
Or they want US to block the numbers for them.... 🙄
I kept trying to tell them that it really wouldn't be good, would really be a privacy violation in the extreme, if the carrier had the ability to prevent people from being able to call you......they just don't get that...do you really WANT for us to have control over who can, and cannot, call you?

I'm all for helping customers...so when someone asks for assistance to block a number I always look in the device manual for auto-reject features. Majority of phones (with the almost exlusive exception of iPhones 🙄 ) have a native menu option to do so, you wouldn't believe how many people refuse to be TAUGHT how to reject calls automatically and DEMAND a free number change. I mean c'mon! I tell it to them like this, "By rejecting people's calls and routing straight to voicemail, they'll hopefully eventually get the point and stop calling."
People still refuse... 😡
...
There are multiple 'call block' apps for iPhone, Blackberry and Android, you can direct customers to those
