Home Phone (Landline or Digital Voice)

[#1]

They make caller ID managers that you can buy pretty inexpensively.  privacycorps has one that reports it will block EVERYTHING.    Haven't tested it myself, so maybe look for some reviews, but you can also buy caller id managers on amazon or similiar retailers.

I tried the *60 and the 800-327-2020 and neither worked for me. HELP. This constant calling from a specific number is bugging me

[#3]

you can't block toll free's with verizon call block.

I have the call block feature and I can NEVER add anyone, no matter what.  When I push the #01# it always tells me that its not available for this feature, what the purpose then?

I have a number that calls constantly with no talking....

Tell me how to block, thats why I am paying for this feature!

First link on this page should help you, but these are the instructions.

---

Call BlockYou can use Call Block to automatically block incoming calls using a screening list that you create. Call Block will reject calls from phone numbers that match those on your Call Block list. Your Call Block list is limited to either 6 or 12 numbers, depending on your region.

When a blocked caller reaches your telephone number, they will hear a recording saying you are not presently accepting calls. You can temporarily deactivate Call Block or change your Call Block list at any time.

Calls made to you from outside your local calling area, through operator assistance, or from cell phones and some business phones cannot be blocked.

All calling features are subject to availability and compatibility restrictions.

This is the 21st century and FiOS is digital. My Call Intercept with my copper line worked just fine. If you can show me that the call is Private or Unavailable you should have a program to block those even if there is no number associated with it.  This is not rocket science here, just programming. What good is anonymous call block if it is limited! Don't you think the people getting around it know your weakness? I'm getting calls from people claiming they are computer techs working for Best Buy and my computer is telling them it has problems, which is a lie, as I have worked with computers for over 30 years and I can't block these PRIVATE numbers?  This is the new spam and Verizon is looking really bad.  I'm still in my FiOS 30 day evaluation and it looks like I will end up dropping them because I'm getting more junk calls now than ever. How hard is it to add a subroutine to check the private and unavailable labels and drop the calls. I bet Verizon would fix it if they had to pay people for every unwanted call they received.

I hope I can get call blocking to work as I am getting 8-10 telemarketing call a day (and my # is on the do-not-call-list).  I have another line using "o o m a" which has an excellent call blocking feature which has virtually eliminated telemarketers.  If verizon doesn't offer a similar easy solution I will be porting my verizon # to another "o o m a" device.
