Does this phone system have the capability of blocking certain numbers or area codes?

No ... but it is the best 2-line DECT 6.0 phone on the market. Choose a carrier that gives you the ability to block numbers.

No - don't think so, not something I ever do. If it does, it is not an obvious setting.

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. As a matter of fact, I think it automatically blocks calls from "UNKNOWN, PRIVATE" and you can allow certain numbers to get through if you want or keep them blocked. All numbers called to your phone will display but the blocked calls that you select will be displayed with "BLOCKED". I love the Digitone Call Blocker. You can program it several ways and is easy to do. I hope this helps.

This is a great little unit that blocks anybody you want to block. All numbers that call you show up and you can then block the ones you want. Admitting ignorance, I don't have a clue what CI stands for. I've discovered that a major problem is that when we block their number they simply repeatedly switch to using new numbers. In short, we're blocking the same jerks over and over.

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.

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.

Vic is correct -- 80 numbers or area codes. When blocking an entire area code, it will also allow you to "Invite" up to 10 different phone numbers within the blocked area code to still be able to call you.

Yes, you can block many specific numbers in addition to entire area codes. The device is amazing. Here is a link to the User Manual: http://www.digitone.com/dcb10%202012%20manual.pdf.

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!

Yes the blocking feature does work. I get a great deal of unwanted calls. I just add them to the phones blocking feature and if that person calls again the phone will ring once and then go silent. Love that feature.

Call blocking is not a phone specific feature, it is a service provided by your phone company (Verizon, AT&T;, VOIP,etc.).You can also register your phone number with https://www.donotcall.gov/ to help revent unwanted or unsolicited calls.To answer your question, NO phone is independently capable of blocking calls, only the network provider offers this option.

Yes, you do. The call blocker uses the caller ID to identify calls to reject or pass. Some call blockers use black listing to reject specific numbers. Some call blockers use white listing to pass only those numbers you wish to receive calls from. Some can do one or the other. Those that use white listing do a better job of blocking undesirable calls, but can sometimes be a pain when trying to receive calls from the doctor's office or the school. Probably more than you were interested in.

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, for up to 250 numbers. This is the reason we bought these phones, the call blocking is very important to us.

It's not suppose to block any number. When blocking any number you need to push black list to activate the blocking. You need to call the company for any technical information.

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.
