Apparently, this service only works for T-mobile and MetroPCS users while others will simply have to try their luck.

One Verizon user also reported that the method worked for them.

While this particular method may not have worked for everyone, one user revealed that unknown numbers can be blocked by going into settings on your phone.

Unfortunately, that also means you can't make new friends.
