What you stated was true, except for the caveat to calling your phone company regarding subscribing to call-blocking. Unfortunately, Verizon FIOS only allows a handful of slots of numbers to block at any one time/list last time I contacted VZ it was about 15 calls blockable. That's a joke. I have more than that number of calls PER DAY that I need blocking. My landline phone handset only allows about 30 called to be blocked at a time and again, that isn't nearly enough. So I ordered a CPR CallBlocker V202 and had trouble with it disconnecting valid calls mid-conversation, but a very patient tech support man returned my call today, with different setup instructions. We'll see if I can get the most annoying calls -- such as 323-326-4118 to be blocked and stay blocked. What is even more annoying is that ANY ENTITIES [except 9-1-1, valid police/fire/ambulance calls] are EXEMPT from intruding into our homes via the utility services, without our consent. I see this as a home invasion/intrusion no less than if someone had banged loudly on my front door at any inconvenient or frightening hour, or forcefully kicked in my door and held a threatening weapon to my face, uninvited, un-requested, and unwanted. Unfortunately, all the politicians, lobbyists and big-name "charities" have the laws & lawmakers in their pockets to allow such exemptions from the joke of those "Do-Not-Call lists.
