The number is blocked so thats why *69 wont work. There really isnt anything you can do to keep them from calling unless you know who it is.

If they are telemarketers you can get your parents to sign up to the do not call list, so that way if they do call they get a heft fine.
Otherwise if its some jerk I guess talking to the phone company they might be able to block the number without telling you who it is (becuase its confedental).

Then you have your number not listed, so if they try and get you number out of the phone book it isnt there.

I believe there is a number you can dial to trace calls, *57 I think, but it costs $1 and goes to the police, so only use it if you are being harassed or anything.
