how do you block private calls from calling house phones?

Answer 1

You get your phone company to block these calls comming in,and the person on who is dialling to your house phone hears the message something like this "this caller will not accept private/withheld numbers,to call, you will have to unblock your phone."Then that person will have to unblock their phone to call you and then you'l know who it is!

Answer 2

Get a phone company service called 'Caller ID'....With most all phone companies, (I use Verizon), you can then dial *77 to block all private, unidentified, incoming calls. To cancel, you dial *87 The service mentioned is called 'Anonymous Call Rejection' or 'Anonymous Call Block' <---

Answer 3

Just be careful - for example, my dr office shows private, as does a call from the airport, where my husband works etc. You may want some - just block the *67 kind.

Answer 4
