Our phone company (Charter Communications) allows us to block for free only up to 12 numbers. Will this device allow us to block additional numbers?

Definitely it blocks up to 1500 numbers. it has a permanent storage of up to this amount in its blacklist

It should have no effect on your phone provider's service. The device works from your home. It blocks the signal as it enters your home. Make sure that you read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.

I have Comcast. The info says that I can block more than 1000 numbers Easy to work. one issue: the year displays 2012 only. It does not show current year but no effect on blocking. I have this unit for more than a year, good results.

Yes it should, i think its blocking capacity is something like 1200 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 know that call blocking is a part of my phone service package. I'm not sure if that really answers your question.

Hello, the operating manual says on page 41 the following: "you can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list". I hope that helps.

Yes, it has call blocking. I don't know how many calls it will block, but I've blocked quite a few so far.

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!

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

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

As it turns out, this set allows me to block 30 callers. But I also get to block ANOTHER 30 on my original I had prior that was not part of this set....So if I get more than 60 callers that require blocking? No problem, in THAT case I will simply go without a telephone! :-)

Page 30 of the manual specifies that 30 numbers from the CID caller list can be blocked. I'm not sure if that is in addition to the numbers listed in the phone book or not. I do not use this feature on the 6544 because I prefer to use the blocking system provided by my phone service.

Yes, you can. You put in the block code and number you want to block followed by * and the number is blocked. To reverse it you put in the unblock code and number followed by * to allow calls.

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.

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.

No. You can use a black list to block specific numbers or area codes (it does allow wild characters ). You can also block calls without a number specified like "Private Caller" or "Out of Area". Alternatively you can use a whitelist where all calls not in the whitelist will be blocked. However, check out the robocall blocking service at www.nomorobo.com. This sounds like a pretty good service and it is free. I just signed up for it. However, it only works for phone companies that provide a simulring option. Apparently this rules out all cell phone providers even when the provider has a landline side and has that option there.

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.

Yes, if the device recognizes the name Anonymous in its log. The manual tells how to block specific names. I think the limit is 40 names.

This piece of junk does not offer that. It has a block number option but the software was never really installed. The only thing you can do is assign names to the unwanted numbers like I do - F1, F2, F3 (try to guess what the F means) and store them in your phone book. When the person calls you'll see him as an F and not answer. Ron
