Even if they block the number you can still contact the telephone service provider for the number.

Some of you are calling the answering machine an answer phone. I dont think I've heard that done before.

Answering machine / Answer Phone.....whats the diff? 
Im just guessing that an answering machine is standalone, while an answer phone has a telephone and answering machine built into 1 unit.
correct me if im wrong here?
Ive just never heard it called an answer phone

North America is the only place I've heard it called an answering machine instead. Craig David's "Fill Me In" says "Calls diverted to answerphone..." I think he's British or something too.

One of my friends had the funniest answering machines i've ever heard.... you hear a girl and a guy moaning and screaming loud like they're havin some crazy sex, then you hear him like panting and he's like "sorry i can't come to the phone, i'm a little busy right now.. please... ooohhh, oh yeah... leave a message at the.. OH YEAH... beep"
it was funny 
the voice mail thing on my cell phone now has music playing (xzibit - alcohol) "call it what you wanna call it, i'm a fuckin alkaholik" then i say hey this is phil, leave a message
i don't like it, but i don't know what else to change it to

How about one that goes
Hello, the answering machine is broken. This is Dave's Refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message on myself with one of these magnets.

Mine...
Let's just say mine has a slight anti-telemarketer tinge to it. Once the hear my message, they don't dare call back because I will sue the hell out of them.

There are those product on the market today. I guess it saves space since you don't have to buy multiple items anymore.
