To clear up a minor point.  Blocking will always be free.  It's making
a change to the blocking that the phone company will eventually charge
you for.

The pamphlet that they mailed was very interesting.  In about six

important information.  Please have it translated."

I'm surpised the don't put that on their bills.  But what do you
expect from a company that give you *net 45* to pay.
