Question

My house doesn't accept incoming calls that are private.

but how do I shut that off?

and then turn that back on?

I just tried looking it up, and I can't find anything about it

My dad like just hit a whole bunch of numbers on the phone one day, and ever since then, it hasn't accepted private numbers.

Answer 1

You have to contact the phone company. Where I live I would dial *87.

Answer 2

Call your phone company and see

It's more than likely a phone company feature, rather than the feature of the specific phone.

Answer 3

*77 activates ACR and blocks private callers

*87 disables ACR and allows private callers

why would you ever want to unblock private callers?

Answer 4

*87 to disable anonymous call rejection.
