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

Unfortunately no. You need a separate device in order to block telemarketers.

From my experience, I don't think so. Although, you can call block any number you want. If a blocked call comes in it rings once then stops. It will appear on the caller id as call blocked. I love this feature and have used many times. You only have to block the call once in the directory.

All you need is a regular land line and I would imagine you'd need to have the caller ID feature from your phone company but to block calls you don't need to subscribe to anything else. I just check my caller ID, if I see a number I don't recognize I follow the directions for the phone and just block the numbers I don't want to get thru. Hope that 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 set the answering machine to answer after 2 to 7 rings. You can also set call blocking -- you enter the number that you want blocked. If the number is blocked, the phone doesn't even ring.

You can manually enter the numbers using the 4 arrow keys (slow and painful, but works) or you can select from the recent Caller ID log and chose to add numbers to the lists. One problem with selecting from caller ID is sometimes, for example, Caller ID may show 1-555-555-5555 but in order to block you actually need 555-555-5555, which are not recognized as the same number. Not a big deal, but test to make sure.

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

yes. you can just put in the first few numbers and it will block. You can also set it so that the phone doesn't ring when they call. I love my call blocker!!

I use OBi100 with my Google Voice account. Through my Google account I am able to blacklist or whitelist callers. Google voice can also be set to block calls and texts it identifies as spam.

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.

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.

First off, you must have caller ID (CID) service from your phone carrier. If you receive repeated calls from anyone (i.e telemarketers) you can select this number with your handset and select "call block". Anytime this number tries to call you again it will only ring once on your handset and "busy out" the offending caller. I have received calls which have left no message on the answering machine but sometimes call two to three times a day.(or more) This feature blocks all those unwanted and annoying calls.

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).

Yes, you need to press the BLACKLIST button on the call blocker to add the numbers to the BLACKLIST, however you can do that anytime. So, you can hang up the call and later on browse the list of incoming phone numbers and press the button to add them to the BLACKLIST.

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.

You can program the phone to give you one ring or no ring at all for blocked callers. The blocked call numbers will be listed in the call log with a special symbol.
