blocking numbers and 'free' apps

I have been getting nuisance calls for a few weeks now from 1 number

looked on orange website and its says call 450 and they can barr calls, so i did...

...was told it is impossible, and gave me 3 options
1. report it to the police, but it still wont get blocked
2. change my number
3. look on ovi store and download an app

quite annoyed that orange cannot block it, even though it says so on the website.

so i went on ovi-store on my pc to see what there is.

found 'BlockMe' app which it says is free, but can only be done via sms, and not via pc

As i had no option, I had to do it via sms.

Get an sms with a link to follow. then i have to download an ovi store update to continue

so far i have been charged over £9, and still have not downloaded the free app :mad:

now i cannot continue as i have 13p credit, and used my monthly limit of £15 because of budgeting.

really not a happy bunny

anyone know of any number blocking apps that can be downloaded via the pc (conected to my nokia C5) for free?
