Does anyone know of a caller ID box for the home that allows you to program certain numbers to be blocked?

Question

I know this is possible, cause the fax machine I own has this very type of feature.

Answer 1

I have the Caller ID Manager, it works well, but kind of cheaply made in China. I use DSL, and had to use at least TWO filters to make it work right. Instruction book poorly written, but you can get the hang of it, if you are somewhat technically inclined. The best one I ever had was a Bel-Tronics AD-100, but they are no longer made. They were great.

Answer 2

yes, with the callerID manager

Take advantage of the full potential of your Caller ID service with the latest innovation in call management.*

With the Caller ID Manager, you decide who can call you and when...without monthly fees!

You determine how to handle each caller, whether local, long distance, international or cell phone calls.

Screening options:

# Block anonymous and unidentified numbers, while allowing all others;

# Block up to 175 numbers, area codes or prefixes, or;

# Allow only callers you 'Invite' by name, number, or 'Wildcard' to ring your phone, and handle others as you choose.

With each entry you decide between:

# Allowing the caller to ring your phone;

# Sending the caller directly to your VoiceMail or answering device without ringing your phone;

# Sending the caller directly to any extension without ringing other phones (using the optional Remotes), or;

# Ignore the caller completely and go unanswered, without ringing the phone.

Add and delete numbers easily by using the call history or your telephone keypad. And, you can change your preferences for each number easily with the clearly labeled buttons on the front of the unit.

You'll quickly wonder how you got along without the Caller ID Manager!
