I've got a couple of them to my phone this week, and I don't remember getting ANY in the entire time I've had a cellphone. Anyone else?

I received blocked calls on nokia handsets in the past.

It's just someone blocking their caller ID info. Blocked, Unknown, Out of Area are all possible messages, although out of area is less likely to happen on the cell network.

Call from your house phone, dial *67+CELL NUMBER, and see if it gets the same message.

If so, someone's just blocking their number.

that usually happens when somebody wants their number blocked. Before you call someone you press ,star something, before you dial the number and it will make caller id's show up as blocked.

Can anonymous and/or blocked callers be blocked either by the iPhone or the AT&T service?
