No call blocking?

Is there any way to block anonymous calls or to forward them automatically to voicemail? I just realized that Vonage lacks call blocking features.

I've been bugging them for this since I joined last month. I would also like to see in my activity log for each phone number a link for that number that points to a reverse lookup so I can see who's calling.

I would also like to have a option next to numbers in my call log that will allow me to block any number I want from calling me.

This is still the #1 feature I'm waiting for.

No time table on that.

Can you at least provide a time-frame? 6 months, 1 year?

All major phone companies are jumping on the VoIP bandwaggon big time since the FCC de-regulation in November (hint).

Now's the time.

It DOES do a reverse lookup.. go to your call log and hover over the number.. it will popup a little box telling you who the number reverses to (basically Caller-ID on the web)

OK

... then how do I configure the thing so that:

If 480-532-7623 then my phone rings

If 800-xxx-xxxx then go to voice mail immediately

If unkown caller then go nowhere.

you can't. did you read this thread? this is a feature that has to be offered and it is not offered by vonage at this time. a tier 2 tech support individual said there is no time table on offering this feature. therefore I'll go out on a limb and tell you that there's no time frame either.
