Barring a number from calling my mobile

Can this be done?

I have someone who keeps calling my mobile and I wish to have no contact with them.

Is it possible to set things up so that my phone will not accept calls from this number (it's a landline if that makes any difference)
I really don't want to go down the route of changing my number for the sake of 1 person being a pest.

And for my sins, my contract is with orange (yes I know:rolleyes: )

Thanks

    I dont think any of the networks offer this service, they will only offer to change your number... if it is malicious they can however, subject to you informing the police etc.
    some phones allow you to do this though however ive never looked into it.
