Do blocked numbers ring once, or not at all?

Blocked calls on wired/corded phones only ring once; some cordless phone brands ring twice.

I have that set up exactly, and it works well. Once in a while it will block a wanted call, but I find that if I call them back, the next time works fine. I can only guess at the cause. I've got the blocker on the phone at the farthest point from the modem, and it works.

It doesn't store blocked numbers. It works by silently answering all in coming calls and forcing those who call to enter the number one to let the phone ring. It works because all tele marketers use a computer to initiate a call which does not understand what the tele bouncer is asking and simply hangs up.

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 don't know. You can contact your service provider and they will block numbers for you. If you need to block that many numbers just change your number. Just saying....

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.

It doesn't block random numbers. To have a number blocked you must either enter the number into memory manually or select a number from the callers' ID list (so a number that has already called you.) Unlisted and private numbers can be blocked too. There are many combination possible, like blocking a whole area code or an exchange (like 123-XXXX - all numbers with a 123 exchange will be blocked) or narrowed down to 123-456X (meaning all numbers starting with 123-4560 to 123-4569 will be blocked. The combinations are endless.

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

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!

It only speaks the number if caller id shows it, and only once. If you are not right over it the number will be missed. If the info is blocked no number is spoken. No info is saved

While the number is showing you block it. It also will block numbers that you don't want blocked. I stopped using mine for that reason.

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.

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's free and is built-in to phone. This is the greatest feature! Any call you've receive with a digit ID can be blocked. Once done, your phone will ring once if they call you again, then they're gone. The caller continues to hear the phone ring so no one is upset with a rejection notice of any kind. It's awesome.

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.

I've had calls that say private caller. If it only calls me once then I don't do anything about it. But if it calls again I just walk over to the little box and hit the block call button twice and the problem goes away.

The numbers can be blocked individually if they present a caller ID else all calls without a caller ID can be blocked.
