Yes. It announces callers by name not number. I'm using mine now and it just told me my friend was calling by full name.

yes. you can just put in the first few numbers and it will block. You can also set it so that the phone doesn't ring when they call. I love my call blocker!!

In Whitelist mode, the only incoming calls will be from numbers you input/program into the system. I've noticed if any number, other than the ones I allow, the phone will ring once and then stop. I got this for my mother who received relentless telemarketer calls and others scamming for something, but this has worked perfectly. Only her friends and family can get through. Hope this helps.

This feature is built into Obi. Try dialing *77 from your handset. *87 will unblock anonymous call blocking. (Google Obi star codes for more features).

You can program the phone to give you one ring or no ring at all for blocked callers. The blocked call numbers will be listed in the call log with a special symbol.

yes, mine blocks automatically-private, outside area, anonymous, it comes down to what is in the number field on the caller id portion. things like "0" ( ) and such are no ringers.

Hi, you can scroll through the blacklisted numbers using the left/right arrow keys. When you come to your sons number push Remove and his number should be free to call again. I think if you hold down the Remove button it clears all the numbers from the blacklist.

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

Sorry but my 3-set Panasonic phones are connected to as regular landline. Other than just blocking calls u can edit the caller's ID so u can actually tell who is calling each time! Love it!

No. You can use a black list to block specific numbers or area codes (it does allow wild characters ). You can also block calls without a number specified like "Private Caller" or "Out of Area". Alternatively you can use a whitelist where all calls not in the whitelist will be blocked. However, check out the robocall blocking service at www.nomorobo.com. This sounds like a pretty good service and it is free. I just signed up for it. However, it only works for phone companies that provide a simulring option. Apparently this rules out all cell phone providers even when the provider has a landline side and has that option there.

I use OBi100 with my Google Voice account. Through my Google account I am able to blacklist or whitelist callers. Google voice can also be set to block calls and texts it identifies as spam.

Absolutely. In fact, it has some great features that will work only if you have Caller ID service: "Number Announce", "Store Number", and "Accept Blocked Calls", which is my favorite; if you have "Accept Blocked Calls" turned OFF, any caller who comes up on Caller ID as Name Blocked/Number Blocked (both name and number must say "blocked" on your Caller ID) reaches a recording saying that you don't accept blocked calls....and then it hangs up on them! If you're also asking if the unit works with a Caller ID box hooked up -- yes, it does. With the "Number Announce" feature turned ON, you can actually eliminate your Caller ID box, or use "Number Announce" along with it; I still have my Caller ID box hooked up with "Number Announce" turned OFF; ON or OFF is an option. I hope this information helps.

I use Verizon, so I can't positively answer your question, but most telephone circuit transport providers follow certain guidelines that don't allow them to block all the numbers you want them to.The Digitone call blocker has no such restrictions, and allows you to block out whom ever you choose.

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.

No, it doesn't. As applicable, display shows incoming" phone# and caller's name" or "unavailable" or "private caller".

The phone does not have a program to block numbers. However it does allow you to create Groups within your Contacts. If you create a group and name it "Blocked" you can then create a silent ringtone so phone calls do not bother you. The only problem is that the groups do not apply to text messages.
