Assign to this all the numbers that you require to block. Now assign a unique ring tone to that contact (the &#8220;Old Car Horn&#8221; is a good one) and you will know immediately when an unwanted call comes in. To go one stage further, without too much difficulty you could create a silent ring tone and use that. Then you will never know when the annoying caller rings you.
