Consider this: Ma Bell, or Bell Atlantic or Pacific Bell, or whatever it's called on your side of the Ocean had a full blown marketing campaign to launch Call Blocking options. Per Call Blocking, *67, and permanent call Blocking options were offered to many AT and T Customers.
However, the whole point of call blocking seems to have been tossed out the window. Here’s what I mean.
Most folks are ignorant about their current phone lines, and whether or not they have permanent call blocking, or per call blocking. What happens is that many folks don’t’ think about unblocking their line, or even blocking their number from being shown, when they don’t wish to.
For example, the way call blocking was marketed by the phone companies, was that every “land-line†phone caller would think about it when they picked up their phone, and unblock, *82 if calling their friends, or if they don’t block their number, dial *67 for numbers you don’t wish to show your number to (businesses etc.)
