By the way, AT&T mobile has a similar feature that automatically blocks numbers if the have been reported as spam. The number won't even ring on your phone.

How does that work, DB? i.e., does one have to report the call as spam, and how is that done?

We have AT&T mobile and Magic Jack VOIP. We never get a telemarketing call on Magic Jack, but occasionally on our mobile, the same number will call for a couple weeks (we don't answer), then stop, then another number will call. I'd love to be able to report these numbers. I thought they were spoof numbers, though, in that "they" would simply switch to another caller ID number.
