Isn't there an option to not allow phone calls to come in if they are
blocking their ID? You have to dial with some *6something number to unblock
your ID to allow a phone call to come through. SO if anyone calls you with
a blocked ID it will tell them to use the number to unblock the ID and then
call. It won't block everyone completely, but it will force them to give up
their identity.
