The product is called C-guard and is tested by the Israeli army to block soldiers private calls from secret places. Sunday Times had a story on this, the paper said. Soon peoplela can block offensive callers. Come to Scandinavia and you will experience a total anarchy regarding politenes as regard cellphone-calling. In England it is much more quiet and civilized.
