Bite the bullet and pickup once. At least find out what the call is. I do not believe there is anyway to block a private number with any carrier. ---

I do not believe there is anyway to block a private number with any carrier. ive picked it up a few times but whoever it is just hangs up. happens 1-4 times in a row in a night, maybe like once every two or three weeks. not really a big deal, but if i wake up that much at 3am its hard to get a good nights sleep. ---
