Will this device block calls if the caller has blocked his number?

no it doesn't. But I bought a panasonic kx-tg6645b which has the option of blocking unknown callers and blocked ids.So between the two devices all my bases are covered.

I doubt it because it works on the caller id system and you go thru the numbers and block the ones you do not wish to have call you, I have my phone set to ACR or anonymous call rejection so private and or blocked numbers can't call me anymore...

If you have caller id service from your phone company, you probably have a feature you can enable called Anonymous Call Rejection. That feature will block any call that does not have a number associated with it. Then any call that comes through would have a number unless it is an "out of area" call. The T Lock, problems not withstanding, can block any number you put on the blacklist. Be aware of the following: Caller ID blocking ONLY WORKS FROM RESIDENCE TO RESIDENCE. Commercial users can retrieve your number with an ANI box even if you block your caller id. I got that surprise one day when a business I called for price and availability on a local number with my caller id blocked, called me back on my number to tell me that they found what I was looking for. What a shock and an education I got.

I don`t think so. I`ve only had it happen once that a call came up as "0", as in no number. The unit would not blacklist the call,I assume, because there was no number to add to its memory.

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!

Gary, I dont know the answer right now but I'll test it shortly with my cell phone and get back to you. My initial guess would be no because there is no number associated with it but, again, I'll test it out.

The cordless phone does no speaking . There is an answering machine which I have that announces the caller's number and if it's a blocked call it will announce that and say to the caller blocked calls are not accepted and disconnect the call.

I use Verizon, so I can't positively answer your question, but most telephone circuit transport providers follow certain guidelines that don't allow them to block all the numbers you want them to.The Digitone call blocker has no such restrictions, and allows you to block out whom ever you choose.

There is no ringer on the device. When a blocked call comes your phone rings maybe a half or full ring then nothing. It hardly gives you a chance to answer before the call is dropped. On a side note this is probably the single best thing I purchased on Amazon in the last several years.

By remote phones if you mean multiple telephones connected to a land line within your home, yes, it still allows caller ID to be displayed on them. But once a number is blocked, they will never ring so you won't be bothered with having to look at the caller ID to see who it is.

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.

It doesn't work by storing blocked numbers. What it mainly blocks is calls where a human didn't dial the call. The call won't get through to your phone unless a human listens to your message and then presses 1 or 2. This has been 100% effective in stopping phone spam for me.

No, the blocker will answer the phone, wait one second and hang up. There is no message returned to the caller.

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.

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

I am not sure if it has call blocking on the phone itself however, I do have call blocking on my phones service with AT&T.; Maybe you can check with your phone service provider.

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

Yes, but the unit still rings once or twice before the caller ID comes through and the call is blocked.

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.

The phone does not have a program to block numbers. However it does allow you to create Groups within your Contacts. If you create a group and name it "Blocked" you can then create a silent ringtone so phone calls do not bother you. The only problem is that the groups do not apply to text messages.

It should have no effect on your phone provider's service. The device works from your home. It blocks the signal as it enters your home. Make sure that you read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.

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.
