Phones that allow you to block designated numbers?

Are there any cordless phones that allow you to block designated numbers? For example, if I'm getting bugged by a caller that comes up on Caller ID as 01234567890 I would key that number into the phone's 'blocked calls' list and the caller would always be given an engaged tone, message, whatever ?

Thanks

    No - you're mixing up network functionality with that of a handset. All it can do is show you the number calling - not do anything with it. BT Network services will allow you yo 'Choose to Refuse' for specified numbers.

    Actually, I've just been doing some research over the past hour or so and found out that such phones do exist, such as this one from Panasonic:

    (this is the two handset version, but there is also a one handset version).

    scroll down about halfway to read the part about incoming call barring. I've also found the manual on Panasonic's web site and it clearly states it too, so it is possible. Excellent. :D
