What is the "Call Block" feature on Panasonic cordless phones?

It Blocks callers you put in the Blocked List. When a caller calls that you have blocked the phone will ring once with the message CALLER BLOCKED and this cuts them off.

You can block all those unwanted or solictor calls from this this phone. I love this feature.

You can prevent calls from coming through (phone will not ring) by entering a list of people or phone numbers you don't want to receive calls from.

Sorry have not used that feature. Usually handled by the carrier but if the phone does it that might save $.

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 ring setting 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

That seems odd, that one handset could differentiate incoming calls as mobile or land line. The base station has a call-block feature that allows you to store up to 30 phone numbers to be blocked - which would also block those same numbers to each handset. I use this feature to filter spammers like, "Hello, this is Rachael, this your last chance to receive lower interest rates on your Credit card, etc. " and to filter political calls that relentlessly seek donations. You might go into the Call Block option and make sure phone numbers are not blocked that you did not intend to block. The feature can be accessed from any handset under Initial Settings/Call Block. If your batteries are more than a couple of years old, I'd replace them with new AAA NI-MH that can be purchased anywhere - and you will probably find batteries now have higher amp/hour capacity than your original batteries. If that does not fix the problem, you can use the new batteries in any handset that gets weak quickly during longer phone calls. Have you checked to be sure the handset is not set to "sleep" or not ring during certain hours? I use this often on the handset near my bed. Calls will come in but ring only at the base station and other handsets. It's called Silent Mode in the menu under Initial Settings. Another option would be to call Panasonic and ask if the handsets have some sort of reset procedure, but I doubt that they have a reset. Sorry I don't have any definitive answer. I have six handsets and they have been 100% reliable. However, I replaced some of the older batteries when the handset acted weird or faded during longer conversations.

Sorry but my 3-set Panasonic phones are connected to as regular landline. Other than just blocking calls u can edit the caller's ID so u can actually tell who is calling each time! Love it!

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

Having only gotten this unit on November 6th I haven't had to use this feature and I'm not certain, but the owner's manual says that as long as you subscribe to 'caller ID' service you can store up to 30 numbers in the "Call Block" list. It also allows you to reject any calls automatically if they come from a phone with their number blocked. Hope that helps.

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

I haven't ever tried to do this, but I can find nothing in the instructions that addresses it. My guess would be that you could not block other handsets from coming onto the line.

Very easy, Go to Menu on your handset (top righthand corner) go to center button's down arrow, scroll down till you get to "Initial Setting", press select, scroll down till you get to "Call Block", press select, then press Menu, the word "Add" comes up, select Add and enter number you want to block, press save. That's it!....

There is no mention of call blocking anywhere in the menu system on this phone.

Yes. When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call. You can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list by using the caller list or by entering the numbers directly. You can also block unlimited calls with no number such as Out of Area and Private Number.

It does. However, in my opinion this Panasonic phone also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036RDR5E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is an ALL around better phone. The call blocking feature is a great feature, the voice mail check button, redial and the display are all much better.

If you have the Operating Instructions, go to pages 33-34. I do not answer a call if I do not know the number or the call. If I suspect an unwanted call, per answering machine or whatever, I jot the # from the CD button. Then ,using my handset, hit MENU-#-217, and follow the on screen instructions. I really advise going to www.panasonic.com and get a copy of the Operating Instructions for other ways to block if you do not have your own copy.

Follow section 12 of the manual at http://hqtelecom.com/TLock-Pro-CallBlocker-N2-UserManual.pdf. Regards,

So what you are saying is that when someone calls the house using a cell phone the panasonic phone blocks those calls? but allows land based phone calls to go through? Is it all all cell phone callers or just one or two? I never heard of that happening so not sure why the panasonic would be doing that because really it doesnt know what device on the far end is making the call.

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.

Yes. The connection sequence is from the wall jack to the call blocker, then to the phone. In most cases, our phone doesn't even ring when a blocked call is received.
