is your phone number blocked so that other people cannot see it?

I would agree with Lynn R, It does not show your name, but the number does show

By remote phones if you mean multiple telephones connected to a land line within your home, yes, it still allows caller ID to be displayed on them. But once a number is blocked, they will never ring so you won't be bothered with having to look at the caller ID to see who it is.

No - it is just a function of the phone. It will still ring when a blocked call comes in, but will then disconnect

No it does not. It only tells who or the number if caller is not in contacts

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.

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.

I know that call blocking is a part of my phone service package. I'm not sure if that really answers your question.

Robert - You'l need to contact your service provider regarding call blocking features they may offer.

Yes, if you program it to block all unidentified calls, it does. It also blocks specific numbers or even whole area codes, up to the limit of its memory.

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.

Your phone number ( being handled by OOMA) is not related to the services of the prior provider. OOMA does not list any numbers.The number does show on caller id, so you have to block that out-going information separately.

Gary,If your phone caller ID now says "blocked call" or "unavailable" this device has nothing to remember to block.It must have some numbers to put into its memory. It will block 000-000-0000 political callers! I proved that!

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.

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

The unit has two phone jacks on the back. One is the wire coming from the wall into the unit. The other is from the unit into your phone. The unit receives the phone number that is calling. If it is one of your blocked numbers, the phone does not ring. If the number is not a blocked number, then the phone rings. If the call is the second case, you have the option of looking at the number on the screen, and pressing the blacklist button if you want to block that number from calling. The call will immediately stop if you do this.

yes, mine blocks automatically-private, outside area, anonymous, it comes down to what is in the number field on the caller id portion. things like "0" ( ) and such are no ringers.

In my experience, having a single device for all phone extensions caused the phones to ring once, then the call was disconnected. Upon installing a device on each phone jack, none of them ring if it's a blocked number.
