how well does the blocking feature work?

Call blocking is provided by your phone company, so any type phone can have that feature. Now if call screening if what you're asking, this system is second to none. You can hear who calling when answering machine picks up. You can also intercept the call if you decide to speak to caller. Hope this helped you.

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.

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 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).

My answer is same as below responses. I'm not aware of any block that would fit the specifications you are seeking.

I stopped using this call blocker since I found that once I had blocked a call on this blocker I would follow the steps to unblock a given number and it never unblocked that number. I switched instead to the Digitone Call Blocker and have had no problem with it.So I didn't really answer your question - only alerted you to problems that I had with this. Since I have discarded this call blocker (for the reasons I gave above) I no longer have mine available to answer your question. But I did give you my closest approximation.Good luck!

All the ports, speakers and mics are not blocked except the SD/sim card holder, which is nice. I've had no problems with muffling. I highly reccomend it!

I bought the call blocker for a friend, but he assures me that you definitely can block specific numbers. Incidentally, he had tried another call blocker without success before he tried Digitone. He's particularly happy with the product.

The call block feature is built into the phone and does not require your phone provider. It is a great feature that cuts down on repeat unwanted solicitors.

Absolutely. In fact, it has some great features that will work only if you have Caller ID service: "Number Announce", "Store Number", and "Accept Blocked Calls", which is my favorite; if you have "Accept Blocked Calls" turned OFF, any caller who comes up on Caller ID as Name Blocked/Number Blocked (both name and number must say "blocked" on your Caller ID) reaches a recording saying that you don't accept blocked calls....and then it hangs up on them! If you're also asking if the unit works with a Caller ID box hooked up -- yes, it does. With the "Number Announce" feature turned ON, you can actually eliminate your Caller ID box, or use "Number Announce" along with it; I still have my Caller ID box hooked up with "Number Announce" turned OFF; ON or OFF is an option. I hope this information helps.

yes. you can just put in the first few numbers and it will block. You can also set it so that the phone doesn't ring when they call. I love my call blocker!!

It is set up the same way that any caller Id is. The only fantastic feature is that you get to press the reject/ block the number once it appears. and you will not have to hear a ring from that particular caller from that rejected/blocked number again -until you unblock it.

It does not block all the stations... you select the station you desire. If the stations are taken yes you are out of luck, but it will depend how strong the signal is to play on that station

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

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.

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.

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!

Sorry about getting back to you so late. I've actually tested it over a days at a few different places and it does work, surprisingly well. I typically don't use it like that though but its good to know that its an option.
