Hi Angela,
The first thing I would do is to register your mobile phone number with the Telephone Preference Service . This will at least give you some sort of protection from spam phone calls like these ones. However its not immediate and not all companies adhere to the rules and regulations.
I dont believe there is a way to block numbers on the phone itself, however you may be able to call O2 and ask them if they can do anything on your account. I know they can block specific numbers but I'm not sure if they can do anything because the number is withheld 
You could also use the restrict calls setting. With this you can set up a list of the numbers you DO want to have call you (ie all of your contacts) and then any other number that calls you are diverted either to your answerphone or told the number is unavailable depending on your diversion settings. However this does mean that if you ever get legitimate calls from someone who isnt in your "allowed" list then you wont get the call.
I still have my K800i at home so I'll see if there is anything else you can do, but I do think a call to O2 might help.
Let us know how you get on!

Every day is a school day! I didn't know that, and had always believed that it was possible for numbers to be blocked! Thanks for the info opium!
