Annoying caller--how do I block?

Hi all! I'm new here, so if this isn't the correct forum to be posting on, please direct me to the right one.

An unfimiliar number is continually calling my cell phone. The area code of this number is local to my college, so I can only assume that it is somehow related to this.

At first, the caller left voicemail messages that were just garbled (as if they didn't realize they had called and therefore didn't hang up in time). Unfortunately, the calls have not stopped. My last 4 missed called are from this number. The person has stopped leaving voice messages, and I would rather not pick up the phone and talk to the caller.

It seems to me that the best solution is to block that number from my phone. I know that "blocking" is possible on e-mail accounts, so I thought it might be an option with cell phones as well.

Anyone know how to do this?

Take the offending number and create an address book listing in your phone. Designate the name as "pest" or whatever. Set the ringtone on *this* particular address book listing to "silent." Viola, problem solved.

Or you could answer just once and tell them to stop calling. May work.

Answer in a foreign language and maybe the caller will think he is accidentally calling overseas.
