Now all the networks need to get together and sort out the private/unknown/blocked number fiasco. I don't like to answer calls that are blocked because 9/10 times they are telemarketers, who I don't have time for. But sometimes, and increasingly more often it isn't. I understand that some people, specifically the telemarketers make use of CLIR, but when the called shows as blocked on Vodacom, and not on MTN or Telkom, then something is wrong. All the networks need to work together to sort that out. Then of course there is the SMSes that never arrive issue. Doesn't happen too often, but when it does you don't get any notification, and you can be sure you've been billed for it! Ok rant over! Good news.

I was wondering just a few weeks ago if they still had this service but couldn't remember the number. I remember using it after hour long phone-calls back when I was in school (2001) when Nokias would cut out after 59 and something minutes. I wonder if they still do... Thanks for the reminder!
