Thanks to new APIs coming with the WP8 GDR2 update, Nokia was able to add the call/SMS blocking functionality to its latest smartphones. Currently, Nokia Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925 are running it officially, while the rest of the Lumia WP8 gang (920/820/720/620/520) will be getting it any moment now.

In case you are running WP8 with Amber (GRD2) on your Lumia, then you can update your Extras + Info app. Then go to Settings, Extras + Info and find the call + SMS filter. Here you can add numbers and all incoming communication from those will be ignored automatically.
