Yes. It tries to pronounce the name. If no name is given it says the phone number. It says 'unavailable' otherwise

No. You can use a black list to block specific numbers or area codes (it does allow wild characters ). You can also block calls without a number specified like "Private Caller" or "Out of Area". Alternatively you can use a whitelist where all calls not in the whitelist will be blocked. However, check out the robocall blocking service at www.nomorobo.com. This sounds like a pretty good service and it is free. I just signed up for it. However, it only works for phone companies that provide a simulring option. Apparently this rules out all cell phone providers even when the provider has a landline side and has that option there.

Yes, it has call blocking. I don't know how many calls it will block, but I've blocked quite a few so far.

It does not have call block. That is a feature I believe is available through your phone service provider.

As long as you have caller ID it will work. It receives the call and the display will show caller ID info. Then if you choose to block it, just touch 1 button, and they will be blocked forever, or until you unblock them.

The unit has two phone jacks on the back. One is the wire coming from the wall into the unit. The other is from the unit into your phone. The unit receives the phone number that is calling. If it is one of your blocked numbers, the phone does not ring. If the number is not a blocked number, then the phone rings. If the call is the second case, you have the option of looking at the number on the screen, and pressing the blacklist button if you want to block that number from calling. The call will immediately stop if you do this.

It blocks everything and every number EXCEPT the ones you have programmed in. If the number calling is private or blocked, it does not make through

Call blocking is not a phone specific feature, it is a service provided by your phone company (Verizon, AT&T;, VOIP,etc.).You can also register your phone number with https://www.donotcall.gov/ to help revent unwanted or unsolicited calls.To answer your question, NO phone is independently capable of blocking calls, only the network provider offers this option.

Short answer, yes. The unit uses Caller ID to identify the calls you want to block.

Yes, you can block up to 30 numbers, when a blocked number calls the phone rings once and disconnects, caller ID shows "Blocked Call"

This varies, as your phone service itself, if you have the call blocking option selected (usually a small extra charge) will allow 30 in my case, using the *60 option. If the phone base allows additional blocking then in theory, you could block up to 60 numbers. I will soon get to find out due to the high number of telemarketer calls.

Yes. When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call. You can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list by using the caller list or by entering the numbers directly. You can also block unlimited calls with no number such as Out of Area and Private Number.

The cordless phone does no speaking . There is an answering machine which I have that announces the caller's number and if it's a blocked call it will announce that and say to the caller blocked calls are not accepted and disconnect the call.

yes, mine blocks automatically-private, outside area, anonymous, it comes down to what is in the number field on the caller id portion. things like "0" ( ) and such are no ringers.
