Hi, @SoX. I just brought up the thread for you.

@SoX, I have the Panasonic KC-TGF353 which has the base unit and three handsets. It blocks 250 numbers and can be set so that once a number is blocked the phone does not even ring once.

Lots of other nice features too but the best is how easy it is to block a call. It can be done when a call is coming in, from the CID or even manually.

I get a great deal of satisfaction blocking a call as it is ringing. 😊

@Marp ...

Thanks, so much Marp ... I just got a new deal from Comcast that will lower our cable/internet cost considerably. I'd resisted because I didn't want the Comcast phone to be my primary ... however, the associate told me ... "oh, just add a new phone to your modem -- you don't have to get rid of your current phone or carrier."

By doing that we're going to save over $100 on our total bill ... yippee!

Isn't this what they call "righteous payback? I can't wait to get my new phone ... Amazon says it will be here tomorrow.

Hi, Marp ... I need to UNBLOCK a number but can't find my instructions.

Here's the backstory: Caller ID showed an incoming call from my sister which I had missed. Funny thing ... the actual number was an 800 number from a telemarketer which my Caller ID blocked. Now, every time my sister calls, even though it's her real number, Caller ID blocks it. I can't find how to get this fixed.

Please help! Thanks.

@Marp...

@SoX, I feel your pain about your sister's number being spoofed. To unblock the number:

Press Call Block

Select Block a Single Number

Scroll to the desired number

Press Erase; scroll to Yes; Press Select

Sister's number will be removed from the blocked numbers list.

@SoX, you are very welcome. For future reference you might want to download and save the manual on your computer. I do that because I tend to put manuals safely away never to be found again. At least when they are in the Manuals folder on my computer they can be located when needed.

That's great ... just bookmarked it! I'm the classic "saver of manuals" ... just don't ask me where I put them, lol!

Thanks so much for your help.

I have the Call Blocker by Digitone. It was the highest rated call blocker, during a test by Consumer Reports.

The new version blocks 2,000 #'s

I love it!.
