does this phone have call blocking (kx-tg7873) ?

Yes, for up to 250 numbers. This is the reason we bought these phones, the call blocking is very important to us.
1838344
Yes. My old Panasonic only held 10 numbers to block and this one so far has been limitless. All you do is look on the caller ID, push the save button, and it asks if you want to save it for your phone book or call blocking. I love these phones.

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

I have to select "Blacklist" after the call if I want to block that one in the future. Sounds like you might have a defective unit.

Yes, you do. The call blocker uses the caller ID to identify calls to reject or pass. Some call blockers use black listing to reject specific numbers. Some call blockers use white listing to pass only those numbers you wish to receive calls from. Some can do one or the other. Those that use white listing do a better job of blocking undesirable calls, but can sometimes be a pain when trying to receive calls from the doctor's office or the school. Probably more than you were interested in.

It's not suppose to block any number. When blocking any number you need to push black list to activate the blocking. You need to call the company for any technical information.

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! :-)

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.

Yes, you can put in only the prefix such as 800, 866, 877, etc and it will block all calls from these toll free numbers. The manual gives good instructions on how to do this.

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.

No it doesn't. But I did buy a Panasonic Digital system with "Call Block" feature before buying this AT&T system. I ended up returning that Panasonic system because: 1) it sounded like a tin can and the voice/sound and answering machine were horrid, and: 2) so many "spoof" their phone numbers today (telemarketeers, scammers, etc.), that the number you see on your caller ID isn't always the actual number calling you, so blocking does NOT help as the calls get through any way. Hope this info helped!

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.

Not sure any phones have call block I think that is done by the call provider. this phone is a piece of crap by the way. I bought a VTech phone years ago and said I would never buy another but the price was right and now I know why.

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).

This phone the KX-TS880W does not come with an answering system.....it does come with music on hold.

As long as you have caller ID it will work. It receives the call and the display will show caller ID info. Then if you choose to block it, just touch 1 button, and they will be blocked forever, or until you unblock them.

i have the same phone system. regretfully i have not gotten the system to work as advertized.i am to a degree "green" in these areas,but if blocker only works one handset it is almost useless in my opinion.

The call blocker unit rings just once...then it disconnects the blocked call. The phones however, do not ring at all.

I don't believe so. I have not found a function on the phone that allows me to block calls.
