how many numbers does it block
1680304
i would have to find the manual to answer that question. The way the call blocker works is that we really haven't had much need to block calls. If the number is not on our "approved" list (entered into our list of approved callers), it simply doesn't ring through, but the caller can still leave a voicemail. The times I have actually moved calls to the "R" list which blocks the calls entirely, is when we keep getting annoying voicemails from a single caller (typically a solicitor).

It blocks every number unless the number is placed in your "A" or "B" list. It still allows the caller to leave a voice mail message.

The model I bought in 2012 can store 70 numbers in the rejected list (which is the only list I use). But you can use wildcards, so it is much better than it sounds. It came preprogrammed to reject all 800, 888, 877, 866 and "no caller ID" numbers, which covers the majority of the unsolicited calls I get. Those occupy only 5 slots out of the 70. Whenever I get a SPAM call, I add it to the list (it takes only a few button presses if you do it right after the call comes in). After a year I filled up the memory, so I went back are erased a lot of the blocked numbers, since I was no longer getting calls from them. As a number of reviewers have observed, the unit does not pass caller ID to your home phone. But please read my review, "How to display caller ID on your phones with this device, December 30, 2013" for instructions on how to use the unit and still have caller ID on your phones.

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, 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.

The phone does not have a program to block numbers. However it does allow you to create Groups within your Contacts. If you create a group and name it "Blocked" you can then create a silent ringtone so phone calls do not bother you. The only problem is that the groups do not apply to text messages.

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

You can install the blocker on any of the 4 phones and it will work to block numbers on all of them. But there is a drawback if you don't install it at the entry point -- you will get one ring on the other phones before the unit hangs up. Some users report that they actually like it that way -- when they hear the single ring they know that the unit is working to block a number. I prefer silence myself, so I installed my unit at the entry point.

Well, you got yours to work. Congratulations! Check your settings. You're supposed to be able to only block certain numbers. Look at the blocked number list. If it contains all the numbers since you started using it, you probably set it wrong. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how many numbers it holds, but we have 23 numbers on our phone. Hope this info is helpful.

It doesn't work by storing blocked numbers. What it mainly blocks is calls where a human didn't dial the call. The call won't get through to your phone unless a human listens to your message and then presses 1 or 2. This has been 100% effective in stopping phone spam for me.

Yes. The instruction manual has easy to follow steps how to block single phone numbers, entire area codes, etc. Very easy to do. My phone used to ring 10 plus times per day. Now maybe one time. It is much quieter at home.

Yes, it will store the last 100 phone numbers that called. While scrolling you can press the BLACKLIST button to add the numbers to the Blocked list.

Yes. You can block individual numbers or entire area codes. You can even block all calls, then grant access on a number-by-number basis. I love it.

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.

It is supposed to recognize some numbers, but most need to be entered in manually. I think you can press a key and it will add the number. I sent mine back. It wouldn't block anything, even after I entered the numbers. I would not recommend this product.

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.

It doesn't block random numbers. To have a number blocked you must either enter the number into memory manually or select a number from the callers' ID list (so a number that has already called you.) Unlisted and private numbers can be blocked too. There are many combination possible, like blocking a whole area code or an exchange (like 123-XXXX - all numbers with a 123 exchange will be blocked) or narrowed down to 123-456X (meaning all numbers starting with 123-4560 to 123-4569 will be blocked. The combinations are endless.
