How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can’t set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

    But why does it work like that? You could just as easily make the phone silently pick up and silently hang up.

      For prepaid phones or international roaming phones, you’d be charged for a 1 minute call and hit with a roaming charge.

      That’s not a complete solution, though. If it relies on the phone to implement the block, then blocking wouldn’t work when the phone is turned off or otherwise unavailable (not within service range, in airplane mode on an airplane, etc.).
