You can't block numbers as such, but what you can do is set up select call forwarding (look on the User 1 tab in the ata) to redirect certain numbers to somewhere else. There are many joke numbers to send people to, a quick google should turn up a few.

On a side note, that number you posted has too many digits in it. Are you sure it's not someone calling you via a sip call instead? That can be stopped by making sure your ATA will only accept calls from registered providers.
