Reading they way these spam calls worked: 1st automated calls would dial your number frequently (some times more than once a day). if you happen to pick up the phone then you hear the sound of some one hanging up on you. what just happened was the computer just logged an ideal time for a telemarketer to call you with some bull service. (many times it was "congratulations for owning a _____ credit card. You are entitled to a ___[insert vacation/prize here]___ I just need to verify the last 4 digits of you card (and they actually will tell you the last 4 digits)" So the second I got my n95, got the trial version of hand black list, started black listing these numbers (after google searching them) and watch as the amount of blocked calls decreases maybe because the computers think my phone number is disconnected or something ^_^ I am currently using handy blacklist, and right before I got my N95 (maybe 2 months prior) I started receiving lots of spam calls… and these calls were terrible.

I use this a great deal travelling around Europe as I get fed up of be notified that I'm in a new country and welcome to our network. As if I didn't already know!!!!
