I run a Bed &amp; Breakfast &amp; do not want guests to be able to make toll calls- 900's, International, collect etc. Can toll calls be blocked?

I have the Telo, and if you don't subscribe to an international plan and don't fund your prepaid calling account then it is not possible to make international or 411 calls. Thankfully, Ooma does not support 900 numbers or phone chat services. Therefore, it is good for someone who wants to keep a tight control over their residential phone bill. Ooma also has an Ooma Office product for small businesses. The Telo is designed for residential use.

I haven't ever tried to do this, but I can find nothing in the instructions that addresses it. My guess would be that you could not block other handsets from coming onto the line.

Yes, you can block up to 30 numbers, when a blocked number calls the phone rings once and disconnects, caller ID shows "Blocked Call"

It does not have call block. That is a feature I believe is available through your phone service provider.

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.

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will stillregister all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls).If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" forenglish and in service.

Yes it will block them. I have not had this problem myself but I went to Digitone's Website that said that this is illegal but what they call "Spoofing Services" are using them (Notice where it says Digitone Call Blocker adheres to these requirements or will be Blocked): "According to BellCore Publication TR-NWT-000031M, Issue 4, December 1992, it states as a Requirement that: All calling line Directory Number (DN) shall be transmitted in Calling Number Delivery (CND) to the Customer Premises Equipment (telephones) in a 10 digit format. As of late, this network protocol is being completely ignored by internet spoofing of a number. Since the internet is not policed by the FCC, this leaves spoofing open to whoever wishes to employ those spoofing services. However, the Digitone Call Blocker adheres to these requirements and compels the calling number received to fit within these 1992 guidelines or be blocked. The DCB Plus will also allow 11 digit numbers like 1 602 555 1212 to ring through as "1" is the long distance country code for the USA. Other country codes before the 10 digit number base also ring through as valid numbers."

There is the capability of silencing the ring tone, however,one must reactivate the ring tone manually. No know call blocking feature. One may set the ring tone to off for callers that block their number(s). Hope this helps. Overall we are pleased with this product.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to block 30 calls from each phone. However, you will be able to block ALL calls that have no number, Private number, or say Out of Area if that's any consolation. You may also want to consider answering some of these calls and telling them to put you on their no call list. Under law, they are obliged to do so.

The DCB Plus in Standard Mode from the factory already blocks calls with less than 7 digits. So if you only see "1" displayed, then that call will automatically be blocked for you.

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.

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.)

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.

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!

I didn't use the machine's voicemail because I wanted to be able to retrieve my messages from outside the office. Most providers, Comcast, Cox, Century Link allow you to access voicemail from anywhere. However, having said all of this, yes if you don't answer an incoming call while on another line it goes to voicemail whether you use the machine or your service provider's voicemail it doesn't just ring... you can set how many times the phone rings prior to it going to voicemail.

If you do not set up the cell phone on the system, it will not be included. I have mine set up but not my husband's. If you are trying to block an incoming cell, you will need to do that through your cell and carrier.

You have to use the main unit. But you can blacklist the number at any time. Hope this helps.
