Does this phone have the ability to block calls from specific numbers?

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.

Yes. When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is beingidentified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call.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.

There are ways around the blocker, as an example someone could use Skype to get an unlimited amount of numbers to call you from in different area codes. However the blocker will also let you create a white list of accepted callers and block all other phone calls. I ended up having to go that route to keep someone from harassing my family.

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.)

The default setting is for one ring but you can program the phone to not ring at all when a blocked call comes in.

I know that call blocking is a part of my phone service package. I'm not sure if that really answers your question.

Call blocking is provided by your phone company, so any type phone can have that feature. Now if call screening if what you're asking, this system is second to none. You can hear who calling when answering machine picks up. You can also intercept the call if you decide to speak to caller. Hope this helped you.

Yes. You can either wait until that number calls you, and then just push a button to block them in the future, or go through a somewhat more cumbersome process to enter a specific number, area code, or exchange (e.g., 800.555.xxxx) from ever getting through.

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.

You can program it to block any number or area code using wild card #. However, I unplugged mine after it started blocking everyone all the time. I reprogrammed it and within a week it was blocking everyone again. Buy one of the Panasonic phones. Mine blocks up to 250 numbers, more than the digitone, and hasn't messed up after over a year's use. Also got no help from digitone with the problem.

No - it is just a function of the phone. It will still ring when a blocked call comes in, but will then disconnect

No. I think you have to get that from phone company, "call rejection service". However, you can put numbers into groups with varied ring tones.

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.

Unfortunately no. You need a separate device in order to block telemarketers.

I haven't tried but the instructions mention that you can block from from 3 to 16 digit numbers. You should try to enter two numbers, one with the 3 digit area code and the other with the three digit area code preceded with a "1". I think that would probably work.
