What does the manual say Wayne? I can't find an online source for it so telling us what the manual tells you to do might help.

Well i cant exactly post what it says cos it has a load of directions to help but this is the part i dont understand.

Looks like if you select the "Reject list" it will only block people you have in that list. No one else gets blocked from calling you. If you activate the "Accept" list you can ONLY be called by people you have listed in your accept list. No one else will be able to call you on the phone as it will reject anyone NOT in your accept list on the phone.

To put it basically if you use the Accept list you can only be contacted by people that you put into the list, everyone else that calls you will be blocked. So if you forget to add someones number to the list that person will not be able to call you.
Using the reject list allows you to specify a small number of people that can't contact you but everyone else can call you as normal. Easier to use if you only want to block a couple of people.

Forward the call to me and I'll have a word with them (on your behalf)? A few 'kind words' from me to anyone that used to bother my girls on their phones never failed!

I can errm give you the number over PM if you wish?

If soneone was to Prank you they would put 44 and miss the 0 wouldnt they. I have also added the number with the 44 in front of it, will that help?

If they are prank calling you they probably won't have the intelligence to try and alter their number! Can you not let your parents answer any such calls - and do you know who is making the calls? If they are being a real nuisance you could always contact O2 - they might be able to help?

Easiest way is to use the reject list as it allows you to only block calls from specific numbers. If you use the Allow list you are blanket blocking all numbers except the ones in the list. If the calls persist you can always contact O2, they have a department that deals with unwanted calls

So i should just activate the Reject list then? Yes?

From what you have posted it would be the easiest way to do it, the reject list only blocks numbers that you tell it to block. The accept list will block anyone not in your accept list.
