Outbound call blocking

Is there any way to block certain telephone numbers from being called? I'd like to find a way to block the home shopping channels so my wife will stop calling them, and I'd love to block the 411 calls. Thanks. Joe

heh, not unless they become 1-900 or international numbers.
there may be other devices out there that could do it.

to block 411 just enable international call blocking (it blocks all toll charges). as far as blocking specific number's your out of luck

Can that be done through the Vonage website? Or do I need to contact them directly? Thanks, Joe.

You can do this through your web account on Vonage.com

You got that straight. I had to get 5 additional cable boxes just to lock out the shop @ home channels, and she still finds ways to do it....

Hey, check this thing out:

I think if you put this in any jack you have, preferably the one your Vonage is connected to, it should work. You can probably deny certain numbers, and if you installed it while she wasn't around, she probably wouldn't even know it's there.
