Getting Calls on your home phone You Do Not Want?

 

Many families no longer have home phones due to the many "junk calls" that come in daily.     Some still have the home phone for emergencies.   Some don't even remember their home number!   For those of us that work from home, I found some interesting information today.  

Information on Comcast Voice

If you have Comcast Voice, you have the ability to block all anonymous calls.    Lift the handset, wait for the dial tone, then press *77.    This will tell the caller you do not accept any anonymous calls.

 

If you get calls from regular numbers you would prefer to block -

Lift the handset, wait for the dial tone, and press *60 and follow the prompts.    You are able to block up to 12 numbers, and you can go back and remove some and add more, up to 12 total.

 

Since Comcast does not have the ability to put on our phone the ability to tell calls you are on the Do Not Call list, this does help a bit!
