Is there a way to block individual numbers? I am getting mutliple calls from "Telemarketer" at 800 295 7193. This is apparently a widespread problem, as Googling the number will support.
Is this ferature currently available? If not, is it planned? |

Unfortunately, that is not a feature that Vonage currently offers. I don't know if it is planned to be rolled out or not. But I'm with you. It would be a nice feature to be able to use from your online account. Maybe someone else has some info on the release of that feature. |

Vonage just added this feature: anonymous call block. it will block calls with caller id info tagged as anonymous, private, private name, private number and withheld. there is just one minor (major?) flaw: it does not block calls where caller id info is tagged as unknown.
dial *77 to enable and *87 to disable |

I'm pretty sure one of, Phonetray or Identipop, allows individual number block. I can remember which one though. Both softwares require a modem installed on a running computer to block calls. |

He was looking for a feature that would allow him to block specific numbers from ringing through. Anonymous call block is a nice, new feature but it won't accomplish what he is looking for. |

Who uses a modem anymore?
We waited this long for Vonage to add the features, so I guess we will have to wait a bit longer for the added stuff. |

Another third party option to reject calls is our VONaLink ScreenPop software. It does not use a analog modem. It uses an ethernet *huib*. |
