Does the phone ring once when blocking a call? Can it be set so it doesn't ring at all when blocking a call?

Yes, you will need to turn off the "First ring" setting. The instructions are available in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF#page=34

per the handbook (pg 34), it states: If you do not want the first ring from a number on the call block list to sound, turn the first ringsetting to "Off". The default setting is "On". So to answer your question, yes it can be done. Also for any other question, here is the URL from the Panasonic site for the manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF

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

It means that just all BLOCKED calls won't ring. You'll still see that they called via the CID.

I have tried answering a call or pushing the "accept" button and you cannot interrupt the message cycle. However, if the caller presses "O" the box rings with a discernible tone and you can pick up the call and you can accept it and add it to the white list at that time. If you know you will be getting a call you can turn the blocker off temporarily.

Yes, you can block callers, if you subscribe to Caller ID with your phone company. The instructions on how to do so are on page 30 of the operating instructions booklet. I have used this with great success. Callers that you have blocked will get a "busy" signal. Your phone will ring once, with Blocked Call showing on the screen. Hope this helps.

I believe any incoming call to the phone it it attached to will ring. Either line. Very loud. Hope this helps.

Yes. The number shows on the panel with a small symbol with a line through it which indicates the call was rejected. You can erase it, or not. What happens is the phone rings once, and then silence, so we always wait for the second ring and the computerized voice giving either the telephone number or the name of the caller before picking up the receiver, knowing the caller's number hasn't been blocked.

I have similar set-up, AT&Tphones; with 1 base and three cordless handsets. Blocker does work throughout the house. I would also say that approx 99.9 % of all calls are blocked but occasionally I get 1 call where the phone rings 1 time and stops.

Additional---If one likes,the blocked calls can be heard in real time if the volume on the answering machine is turned up. I like the idea that blocked calls never ring and I don't have to even hear them (my volume is completely off!!) except to check and erase occasionally. It works and has completely eliminated a huge frustration in our lives from, "Rachael at credit card services."

The only such feature this phone offers according to the manual is call screening, but not blocking. That is you can listen while the answering machine gives its speech and when you hear the reply decide whether to interrupt and talk to the person.

David, We have the Panasonic "wireless" with the base and one phone located in the kitchen. The other two phones are each located in different rooms. The Call-Blocker is connected to the base in the kitchen. Calls are blocked throughout. The Call-Blocker does not block calls on one phone but not on another. By the way, since we installed the Call-Blocker, our phone has virtually stopped ringing (with the exception, of course, of calls we can identify). Hope my response helps! Take Care!

to my knowledge, block caller does not work. It has the feature, but all experiences have shown it to be useless.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking if the phone ringer can be muted so it does not ring, but you could still answer the phone?

You can either have the phone ring once - or not at all - with someone on the blocked caller list. While it won't show up as a missed call - it will however register that someone on the list did call. There is a CID menu button that you can check to see if there has been any calls or not. If you do a close up of the phone it is the first soft button on the right under the display screen.

This phone does have a silent mode which allows you to set a period of time during which the handset will not ring for outside calls. This is in addition to turning the ringer off. Hope this helps.

The phone lets me know who is calling. I don't think there is the option of a different ring for different callers. Maybe someone else can answer your 2nd question better than me. Also read more about what the technical information about the phone.

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.

I don't believe so. I have not found a function on the phone that allows me to block calls.

Haven't tried it but it says that you can block numbers. We love the phone.
