Do 02 provide a telephone number blocking service?
Thanks,
Hamish

Can you define "number blocking" a bit more? What do you want to achieve?

Do you want to stop anyone calling you?
Do you want to stop a certain number calling you?

Alternatively do you what to restrict what numbers you can call from your phone?

i think that they would. call them up and ask them. alternatively, if you are being harassed or something like that, then ask the police and they would proably make the network disable the number or something like tht. im not too sure tho.. sorry

i know my old ericsson t20 used to allow me to only accept incoming calls from numbers in my phone book if i chose to set it. maybe you can setup some sort of similar function on your mobile.

Doesn't help, but just for info, my phone has an option to not allow any call that doesn't show it's number so if anyone calls and hides their ID they go straight to voicemail. My last phone (ericsson t300, now for sale) had the option to only accept calls from anyone that you put in the list, the other calls got the voicemail treatment again. Both very handy features, just wish I had them both on the same handset!
