on 2/12/2008 I think maybe different countries have different numbers for this, I am sure in Australia the number is 1831 ......

on 2/8/2008 Gotta love *67!! Just remembering how to use it is a trick sometimes. but worth the effort. Be advised some people and services will not answer a call that is blocked, like the "privacy manager." Good tips!
