Default OT - number blocking

I see the logic to that - no argument. I guess my complaint is that the
phone company doesn't make that clear when someone opts for blocking. In
fact, I called the phone company to ask why my number wasn't blocked and
was told they had no idea. Hopefully, that was because of a single
employee's ignorance, not a company policy.
