Haven't had a need to use it, but you must subscribe to call blocking with your phone service.

It is quite a few. From my recollections of the instructions, it is something like 100 or more.

Having only gotten this unit on November 6th I haven't had to use this feature and I'm not certain, but the owner's manual says that as long as you subscribe to 'caller ID' service you can store up to 30 numbers in the "Call Block" list. It also allows you to reject any calls automatically if they come from a phone with their number blocked. Hope that helps.

I do not use this feature much, but I believe it means you have to explicitly list all numbers you want blocked in the Call Block list in order to block them.

Gary,If your phone caller ID now says "blocked call" or "unavailable" this device has nothing to remember to block.It must have some numbers to put into its memory. It will block 000-000-0000 political callers! I proved that!

This model does not have a built-in "Caller ID" function to block calls. I utilized my telephone company's call blocking feature (up to 12 different telephone numbers) to 'defer' undesired calls, i.e., a recording stating that the number being accessed is not available to receive incoming calls.

Yes, you can block callers, if you subscribe to Caller ID with your phone company. The instructions on how to do so are on page 30 of the operating instructions booklet. I have used this with great success. Callers that you have blocked will get a "busy" signal. Your phone will ring once, with Blocked Call showing on the screen. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can enter numbers, area codes and prefixes manually. You can also wait for unwanted calls to ring and then press the BLACKLIST button to add them to the Blocked list. You can do that while the calls are ringing OR afterwards by browsing the list of incoming calls (stores the 100 most recent numbers). The BLACKLIST memory stores up to 1,500 numbers and 10 area codes.

I don't know. You can contact your service provider and they will block numbers for you. If you need to block that many numbers just change your number. Just saying....

Yes. The instruction manual has easy to follow steps how to block single phone numbers, entire area codes, etc. Very easy to do. My phone used to ring 10 plus times per day. Now maybe one time. It is much quieter at home.

It is totally free and accessed directly through the phone. You can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list by using the caller list orby entering the numbers directly.You can also block unlimited calls with no number such as Out of Area and Private Number.

Frederrick, the answer is yes. It's one of the prime reasons I bought this model. It will block 250 numbers. The blocking process is detailed and deliberate but that's OK. It's menu driven from the right-hand side menu button. If you follow the prompts after you tell it to "save" a number, you have the option of either saving it to your phone book (100 #'s) or saving it to block (250 #'s). A blocked number will ring the phone once, and then stop. I hope this is helpful to you.

I have never experienced that event. However, I never got the machine to block numbers that were a nuisance. I found that having ID Caller on my phone to identify the caller. If it is someone/thing I do not know, I do not answer. Works every time!

I have only used it to block the standard 10 digit number displayed on caller ID. I don't know about longer numbers.

Yes you can. We are currently set up with 4 lines and all 12 phones ring when a call comes in. If someone does not want calls to their phone, they can hit a "Do Not Disturb" button.

Yes, but some still come through. If callers conceal their number, it won't ring. But, if a valid number calls, even if the name is blocked, it will ring. Still, you can individually block any specific number, so a harassing caller can be kicked out, a satisfying tool indeed.

Yes, but I think that phone number has to call you once so that you can store it as a blocked number. After that it will ring once and get disconnected. I don't know if you can add a number to your address book and then block it. Blocked numbers are limited to a total of 20 numbers, and 20 applies to all phones on the system. (It's not 20 per phone.)

R.L. - CL83201 does not have a specific feature to block a call. Contact your service provider to inquire about call blocking options they may offer.

You can block up to 30 numbers. The phone book holds 3050 names and numbers.
