I was unable to make this item work at all for blocking calls. It was nothing more than a caller ID box to me so I returned it.

It has the capability of blocking prefix numbers, which I assume would include area codes, and blocks of numbers from a particular area, such as "800" numbers.

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.

I only hit "blacklist" when the number I'm blocking appears on my caller ID. Mine has a "remove" button to remove numbers that you don't want to be blocked any longer. Came with very few directions but works ok.

Pat - Contact your service provider regarding blocking options they may offer. Thanks!

No, but you can "block" any wireless client with the click of the mouse, which accomplishes the same thing, and unblock just as easily.

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.

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.

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.

To block incoming calls from an area code or a country code, setting option 5 permits you to enter 1 to 10 digits. I have not tried this w/ Mexico, but their country code is 52. I assume you could enter 52 under this blocking option and it will block all calls from 52 country code. On blocking out going calls. the setting option 3 permits you to enter up to 100 16 digit numbers that you do not what to block from dialing out. I do not see an option to block the country code 52, but I suspect that all 16 digits are not required and that would mean it should block all out going calls to Mexico (52).

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, indeed, it does allow blocking single numbers or a range of numbers. Additionally, it allows for blocking an unknown CID. Hope this helps.

No not with this iteration of the DCB Plus. However you can block the 800 area code and then use Code 52 to invite a Number within that 800 area code, like program Code 52 800 555 1212 * and this will allow that number through with every other 800 number blocked.

As noted with the previous answers, yes by means of an on/off switch, located on the base unit. Because I do not utilize my phone service `call answering', I DO use my answering machine as it is a great way of screening calls. When I receive unwanted calls, they most often hang up when the answering machine picks up. This also allows me to view those numbers I want to block.

This varies, as your phone service itself, if you have the call blocking option selected (usually a small extra charge) will allow 30 in my case, using the *60 option. If the phone base allows additional blocking then in theory, you could block up to 60 numbers. I will soon get to find out due to the high number of telemarketer calls.

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 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."

you can block them at anytime. all you have to do is hit the block button the number you don't want to call you and its done. or you can do it while its ringing. i hope this helps
