and dialing out specific phone numbers?? My kid keeps going behind my back to call this girl that I have forbidden him from calling... can I block her number and her friends phone numbers from calling here and vice versa?

On my service it is called "Call Blocking" but it only goes for calls being received, & you pay extra for each number blocked.
If the calls are long distance there are external devices you can have installed in your home that stops the dialing out of all long distance calls.
You can also get external devices that record all dialed numbers, & this will give you the ability to track who he is calling.
Your son needs to earn back your trust, & in the meanwhile he needs to understand the consequences of losing your trust.

Probably not. I have heard of blocking long distance calls. I have also heard of phones which can screen internally (before connecting to phone line) but that would require all phones to be changed and could be bypassed by way of a different phone being plugged into a jack.
This blocking will only force communication outside the home and by other means (IM, email, letters).

Have you tried contacting the girls parents and let them know they have been asked not to call there?
Telephone locks work...calling the local phone company and find out about call blocking. Changing the number and not giving it to your kids is another way.
Better yet....it sounds like your kids don't respect you and your wishes and maybe that should be addressed as to why they don't think they have to do what you've said.....

Phone company can help you block numbers but there might be a fee later on to reverse this. Meanwhile, kids are highly inventive. It will only help you when they use the phone at your house, not at a friend's. Good luck.

yes u can. call the phone company and tell them you want a blocker put on her number and then when he calls her and vise versa it will say the numbers blocked. Unfortunalely they can always call each other at different numbers. I'd ground his butt from the phone myself

only ways go for around electronic markets get a lockable phone and keep a password for you.
in nights you can reduce ringing volume for little period or give up old number.
or read other answers they too smart in some ways.

if your local phone company is verizon you can get call intercept and add numbers that can be blocked incoming, but not outgoing.
