I get harassing phone calls from some individual who my caller ID displays as "Private" Can it block all "Private or unknown or blocked "numbers ?

I set my call blocker to block every call and then just allow the area codes and numbers of the folks I want to call me. That way all calls with "Toll Free", "Private" or "Unknown" caller IDs are blocked. If you see a legitimate call blocked you can easily add them to your VIP list to unblock them. This was the best $100 I ever spent. Try it.

With the Digitone you can block any call manually, but there is auto blocking too that my wife has not explained to me so far. All said, I'm tickled with ours and I do recommend it to my best friends.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, if you program it to block all unidentified calls, it does. It also blocks specific numbers or even whole area codes, up to the limit of its memory.

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).

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.

There is a menu option called Call Sharing. Turn it off to keep other phones from hearing/joining in. It comes turned ON, so if you want all your calls to be private, turn it OFF.

I can't say it any better than the previous responders, they are right on. If you want to actually block a specific number, that is probably a function of the capability/capacity of your telephone provider. I truly have not had to enter numbers to block since I bought the TeleBouncer.

Dear Nancy,We have had the Digitone Call Blocker for about a year. I has cut down on annoying call of all types and IT DOES WORK!! It will block unlisted and private numbers that come in as unknown name/number and will indicate to you where the call came from. At this point you can BLOCK or INVITE the call. If we don't know who it is they are blocked. You can block entire area codes also. My suggestion to you is to visit their website. Any and all questions are answered there. If not call them direct they are GREAT to talk with, I did. It is the only workable and worthwhile investment. Easy to install and the instructions are easy to understand. Read my Post on Amazon.

Not automatically. You can block any number by selecting the caller list and saving the number to call block. First, use your phone to turn on blocking on anonymous calls with your phone company,. Star( *) 77 usually works and you will get a three beep acknowledgement from the phone company when you turn it on. I wrote an article about call blocking today. See http://rightardia.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-stop-telemarketers-cold.html

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.

It is claims to be able to do that, but with my galaxy SII it will only announce the number and my phone book is up to date. I do have auto blocking with my provider so if I want someone to see my number I have to have *82 in front of the number I'm calling so most of my contacts are stored with this included into their numbers. So when they call me the phone may not be able to recognize the incoming call because of the *82.

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

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.

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

You might be thinking friends was blocked but it could have been on the incoming call list [100 calls saved] you can remove them anytime This is not the same as Blacklist.I am having same trouble now. I called tech`s 1-786-221-5997 they said to turn off block all calls with no caller id info [step 6.0] I did this and it was no help. I`m still looking.Cleared all lists [inc,outgoing,blacklist] started from scratch and it is working fine

The numbers can be blocked individually if they present a caller ID else all calls without a caller ID can be blocked.

No. You can block callers using call blocking from your service provider or get a newer phone that has call blocking
