| Blocking "unavailable" calls on Verizon? Is there a way to block unavailable calls from Verizon Wireless? I called Verizon Wireless and they (rudely) said I couldn't. I thought I remember a topic before on this issue but I can't get the search option to work correctly.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Customer service is NOT what it should be - there's no excuse for being rude. I'd call and talk to a supervisor and tell them what happened when you called - I get those calls all the time and they drive me nuts too. I just delete them - but I know when I'm at work my home phone is ringing at least 5-8 times a day with solicitors - makes me feel bad for the girls having to hear it ring so much - I don't know how to block calls either - but I just downgraded my phone service cause my bill was too high so no more caller ID |

| I actually think it's a prank caller who thinks they are cute. We have a general idea of who we think it is. They called about 10 times within a hour last night. Verizon told us the only way to find out who is calling is to call the police so if the calls continue we will do that.

| I set my phone ringer to none when a blocked or unavailable call comes in. I still get the missed call notice but the ringer never goes Maybe you can do this? |

No Longer a Member | I have my home phone number privacy blocked. I also have Anonymous call rejection, and I have AT&T. If someone calls and has their number blocked, it will give them a recording that they have to reveal their ph # to call. I get that when I call people sometime, and I have to do the same. Now, I still get calls titled "out of area." That is a big loophole for companies to bypass anonymous call rejection. If you were to use a calling card to call someone, it would come through as out of area, and it can bypass the anonymous call rejection. So solicitors will use similar services to get their calls through. Those are the ones I don't like. (BTW, I used to be a telephone operator for GTE (Verizon)) |
