Can this phone block a number?

I don't believe that is a "phone" function, but a service requested of your provider.

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.

It does not have call block. That is a feature I believe is available through your phone service provider.

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.

You can program it to block any number or area code using wild card #. However, I unplugged mine after it started blocking everyone all the time. I reprogrammed it and within a week it was blocking everyone again. Buy one of the Panasonic phones. Mine blocks up to 250 numbers, more than the digitone, and hasn't messed up after over a year's use. Also got no help from digitone with the problem.

You can set the answering machine to answer after 2 to 7 rings. You can also set call blocking -- you enter the number that you want blocked. If the number is blocked, the phone doesn't even ring.

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

From my experience, I don't think so. Although, you can call block any number you want. If a blocked call comes in it rings once then stops. It will appear on the caller id as call blocked. I love this feature and have used many times. You only have to block the call once in the directory.

As noted with the previous answers, yes by means of an on/off switch, located on the base unit. Because I do not utilize my phone service `call answering', I DO use my answering machine as it is a great way of screening calls. When I receive unwanted calls, they most often hang up when the answering machine picks up. This also allows me to view those numbers I want to block.

R.L. - CL83201 does not have a specific feature to block a call. Contact your service provider to inquire about call blocking options they may offer.

Yes it will block them. I have not had this problem myself but I went to Digitone's Website that said that this is illegal but what they call "Spoofing Services" are using them (Notice where it says Digitone Call Blocker adheres to these requirements or will be Blocked): "According to BellCore Publication TR-NWT-000031M, Issue 4, December 1992, it states as a Requirement that: All calling line Directory Number (DN) shall be transmitted in Calling Number Delivery (CND) to the Customer Premises Equipment (telephones) in a 10 digit format. As of late, this network protocol is being completely ignored by internet spoofing of a number. Since the internet is not policed by the FCC, this leaves spoofing open to whoever wishes to employ those spoofing services. However, the Digitone Call Blocker adheres to these requirements and compels the calling number received to fit within these 1992 guidelines or be blocked. The DCB Plus will also allow 11 digit numbers like 1 602 555 1212 to ring through as "1" is the long distance country code for the USA. Other country codes before the 10 digit number base also ring through as valid numbers."

Unfortunately no. You need a separate device in order to block telemarketers.

Yes it does. I ended up get a new phone that had an option to block calls built in. Much easier to program.

You have to call your phone company and they will give you the number s to block callers

Yes, but I think that phone number has to call you once so that you can store it as a blocked number. After that it will ring once and get disconnected. I don't know if you can add a number to your address book and then block it. Blocked numbers are limited to a total of 20 numbers, and 20 applies to all phones on the system. (It's not 20 per phone.)

Yes, you can block up to 30 numbers, when a blocked number calls the phone rings once and disconnects, caller ID shows "Blocked Call"

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!!
