How do you block certain people from being able to phone your home phone?

Question

Like, if I wanted to block a specific number, but nobody else. How would I do that?

I have call display, but simply not answering the phone isn't going to do any good, because the phone still rings. Don't question it, just tell me how. :P

Answer 2

You can sign up for a service called Call Screening or Call Control.

It only works on calls that come in from your same area. It doesn't block cell phones or Long Distance calls.

You usually only get to block 10 numbers and it is not available in all areas.

Or - if you are really serious about not getting the call: File a police report, then call your local phone company and tell them you are getting harrassing phone calls. They should have a fraud/harrassment department that can assist you.

Once you report them to the phone company though - charges can be filed against the person. You don't have the option to back out of it.

Answer 3

call phone company, give number, and tell them why you want it blocked, depending on reason they may want a fee.

Answer 4

*60
Sign up for Call Screen from your phone company.

Answer 5

i dont think its possible to do that, you might have to change your number, or confront the person who is calling, simply tell them you dont want them to call anymore

Answer 6

Have you tried *60?
