Do not call lists and call blocking play a peculiar game in North America vs.
Europe. Since in NA people pay for incoming calls too (especially mobile), phone
companies make money on incoming calls and they are VERY hard to get to block
incoming calls from anyone. You have to pay a premium price for this.
