    FYI - this service, when available, is typically not free. So be sure to check with your phone company to verify your service already supports it or if it requires additional monthly fees.

    @HorseLoverArabian Před 7 lety

    Worked on my Frontier land line, but call block capacity is disappointing, as it only allows 12 calls to be blocked. Many scammer numbers are programmed so that they are unable to be blocked and Frontier advises they cannot rectify this.

      @macypenna7277 Před 8 lety +1

      +Jeff Faulkner Look in your phone book manual under "Call block" and follow the instructions. I did that and those annoying calls have stopped. Do not call your telephone company and let them add a fee for this service, you can do it yourself for free. It worked for me.

    Wouldn't a person need caller ID to enter the number to be blocked? Last time I checked, adding caller ID costs.

  • @brianmckay1659
    @brianmckay1659 Před 9 lety

    The problem now is the caller I.D. starts with a letter ("V") then a whole bunch of numbers so I cannot block it.

  • @nancyc.8572
    @nancyc.8572 Před 9 lety

    HI I got that far .. funny that it does not let me dial the whole number to add to call block ..only to press # the last dialed number and #. Now my problem is how to remove a number i added to the call block, since again it will not let me dial complete numbers. I guess maybe I would have to pay for that service. ohh..I am using the Uniden phone too !

  • @elthe3rd

    This doesnt actually work anymore. Maybe in the past it did. You just get a "your call cannot be completed at this time" message and it'll just keep saying that no matter what you do.

  • @TheUniversalEyes
    @TheUniversalEyes Před 11 lety

    Even if this did work on your service it is way too time consuming. If you're one of those people who get many frequent unwanted calls per day, your best option is to setup a hardware based phone number blocking system. If you have an old computer laying around you can use it for blocking numbers easily.

    • @mattcook7477
      @mattcook7477 Před 6 lety

      Hey Beast6228 - very old comment from you (5 years). BUT...I have an old computer that still works (Windows XP) . You wrote "EASILY" ? If you see this, email me with instructions. or not > uhh ~ that might also be way too time consuming for you...I guess.

  • @macypenna7277
    @macypenna7277 Před 8 lety

    I have been receiving a lot of unwanted calls. I do not answer them but I copied the numbers from my caller ID display. I then went to my telephone manual and looked up "Call Block" and followed the instructions. It was very easy to do. I will not give the instructions here because each telephone company is different. Therefore, look in your telephone manual for "call blocking" and follow the instructions. Now when I get another unwanted telephone call I just go to "call block" and add the new unwanted number. One of the numbers that I was very happy to block was the call from 214-275-9222 stating that they were from the IRS. I knew this was a bogus call because the IRS does not telephone you, and besides, they have a 1-800 number. Now these calls have stopped, thank goodness.
