[*] blacklist

[Jason Lee]

I'd also recommend performing the blacklist lookup before the answer. 
that way you can return congestion or busy and not answer the call. This 
way if your service provider bills you per minute you won't be subject 
to usage since the call was never answered (this depends on your 
provider and/or billing arrangements).

Not to mention, if the call is never answered and is always congestion 
or busy, the blacklisted person may actually think the number is no 
longer in service.
