Restarting Asterisk daily is a band-aid. Band-aids have their place, but 
to carry the analogy further, not if they allow the infection to fester.

If you have an issue with whatever you mean by a "blocked call," you 
should resolve the issue. Either it is something you (or your provider) 
are doing wrong (which will come back to bite you later) or you have 
identified a bug in Asterisk (unlikely, but we would all benefit from it's 
resolution).
