But if none has "Anonymous Call Reject" this stops almost all the junk
calls.
As for friends and family that are who are ex-directory, "Anonymous Call
Reject" doesn't block calls based on whether caller is ex-directory.
It only blocks calls based on whether caller has withheld number,
either by using 141 or having Permanent Number Withhold.
Being ex-directly doesn't mean one's number is Permanently Withhold,
although many ex-directory customers choose to have that service as well.
