Does it have call blocking feature?

Call blocking is not a phone specific feature, it is a service provided by your phone company (Verizon, AT&T;, VOIP,etc.).You can also register your phone number with https://www.donotcall.gov/ to help revent unwanted or unsolicited calls.To answer your question, NO phone is independently capable of blocking calls, only the network provider offers this option.

Yes, indeed, it does allow blocking single numbers or a range of numbers. Additionally, it allows for blocking an unknown CID. Hope this helps.

We regret to inform you this telephone does not have call blocking as a feature.

Short answer, yes. The unit uses Caller ID to identify the calls you want to block.

Yes. You can block individual numbers or entire area codes. You can even block all calls, then grant access on a number-by-number basis. I love it.

I haven't used that feature if it indeed has it. I will say 99% that it doesn't. It's a good phone. I actually used it to replace a $3k clunky system a local vendor sold me upon opening my business that proved useless. We use this phone at a retail store & restaurant- it handles all of our incoming calls quite well & the caller ID has proven very useful for pesky marketing calls while trying to do business without announcing it aloud. Best of luck!

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.

No, mine just has a button to answer and hang up calls. Works very well however.

You can not manually block calls by 'name'. You must enter a number. However, by default, calls like Anonymous, Out of Area, Private and Unknown displaying no phone number are blocked.

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.

With the Digitone you can block any call manually, but there is auto blocking too that my wife has not explained to me so far. All said, I'm tickled with ours and I do recommend it to my best friends.

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.

nope. it has mute and supports call waiting. and an additional handset can join an existing conversation (2 handsets + 1 outside caller); 1st handset can hang up after 2nd picks up, if desired. hth.

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).

There is no mention of call blocking anywhere in the menu system on this phone.

Having only gotten this unit on November 6th I haven't had to use this feature and I'm not certain, but the owner's manual says that as long as you subscribe to 'caller ID' service you can store up to 30 numbers in the "Call Block" list. It also allows you to reject any calls automatically if they come from a phone with their number blocked.Hope that helps.

Robert - You'l need to contact your service provider regarding call blocking features they may offer.
