And I received dozens of calls and texts looking for "Joey" when I got my phone number. I STILL get the occasional call for that same person! Obviously, AT&T is at fault since they provide the numbers and so, they should a also provide free number blocking services for numbers that just don't stop calling. Oh and about out retiring numbers for a period of time before giving them out to new customers? AT&T is run by a bunch of scum bags.

Bottom line, we should not have to subscribe to a paid service to block calls. Newer home phones ('memba those?) have the option to block numbers that have called, and it doesn't cost a thing!

I, like many others here have had harassing phone calls come in from a prior owner of our number and even though it's nice to have a service that can block 30 numbers, most of us do not need anything close to that and shouldn't have to pay to block a handful. Verizon allows you to block up to 5 numbers for free. Why don't you?

I agree! With what I already pay each month for the services I have I shouldn't need to pay extra to be able to block a harassing number!

The iOS 7 blocking is nice, but it's useless in cases where the phone scammer uses different spoofed caller ID phone numbers every time.
Personally, I do believe that AT&T is somehow responsible for this. These calls started as soon as I quit my AT&T service at the exact same time they started blasting me with snail-mail and email marketing campaigns urging me to come back to AT&T. Clearly they leveraged some marketing partner that failed to properly secure my private data.

Download the app "Mr. Number". It is a free app that blocks calls and texts. You must have the app running for it to work though. When a blocked number calls, it rings for maybe one second and then a little box pops up saying this call was blocked by Mr. Number.
Hope this helps!
