Alternatively, there's a gizmo you can get from Play.com, called TrueCall, for £70 [It's available elsewhere, but I think they're the cheapest]. It connects between the main phone socket & your phone, & you can set it to reject all anonymous calls, & as many specific numbers as you want. IIRC, you can add someone to the block or allow list after you've picked up a call by just pressing the appropriate number key on your phone.
I assume this will only work if caller id is available (which isn't the case for a lot of VM customers)
