I wasn't aware of this but that's good to know. I also use nomorobo.

Ok, being able to block up to 100 telephone numbers is great. My unwanted calls have dropped from over 40 a week to about 5. Nomorobo works great too but the phone rings once before nomorobo cancels the call. This is annoying. Blocking calls is the way to go, so thanks Verizon for finally doing your job. I'm up to 56 blocked numbers. I'll soon run out. How about increasing the blocked call limit to 1000. Also blocking ID's with no numbers would be great too. Names like Private, Anonymous, and Unavailable. Thanks again for doing your job.

fwiw, i can only block more than 10 numbers using pc interface, when i tried to block 11th number using fiostv menu, i got error about only blocking 10 number maximum....so i quickly got on puter to try and it works from here, so now we're up to 11 numbers blocked, certain to reach 100 by end of year......if fios being sold to frontier doesn't interfere with everything

hmmmmm, i think that even though there are 100 slots available to enter numbers to block incoming calls from (when entered by computer) , maybe only the first 10 entered actually get blocked......got a call from a blocked number after it was added to our list from previous day

Does anybody know why telephone numbers that I added to the block list last week are not being blocked. ? I get the multiple calls daily on Massachuseets electric rates scam from a "blocked" number.
Thanks

Several ways they could be bypassing the check. One simple one is to identify a different phone number as the callerid name. Of course often both numbesr are phony.

i've read in these forums that the incoming call block won't stop calls from outside your calling area, but haven't been able to confirm that with Verizon. anyone else read that on an official verizon info page? if that is true for FiOS digital voice, then why doesn't the interface throw up an error when i add an out-of-area number to the block list?

Its not completely true, but they are covering themselves since some area don't pass the information needed to block them (for legitimate callers). Of course the worse robocallers bypass all protection anyway.
