The product descriptions says
"Anonymous Call Reject
Block any calls from 'witheld numbers'. The caller will hear a message explaining why the call has been blocked.
This feature won't block calls where the incoming number is 'unavailable' (i.e. the caller has not made any attempt to 'withhold' their number). This can happen in a number of cases (e.g. if the incoming call is made from an overseas provider)."

Does the CPR call blocker work with Plus net? I had one which worked well before I changed to Plus net from BT.but since the changeover it has blocked ALL calls. Any advice?

Quote from: PeeGee No, but I have a stupid question: Can you confirm that you have caller display activated?
Just realised that I do not have Caller display activated on Plus Net - did with BT. Could that make the difference? It is causing marital disharmony at the moment.

I have Panasonic top of range Dect phone about £65 for a pair.
They can block 30 numbers, so your phone doesn't even ring, they just go straight to answer phone
Brilliant feature

We used to get between 3 & 8 annoying calls per day, I think this new BT phone is brilliant

Quote Dear Jeremy Boden,
The following extensions on your account have not been used within the past 60 days and have therefore been restricted from making chargeable calls to the PSTN.
Ext 9999999 - "Jeremy Boden"
Please check the phones which are assigned to these extensions, and that they are registered and still receiving calls. Information about phone registrations is available in your VoIP control panel. Once you have verified the status of these phones, please re-enable the Allow PSTN access checkbox against the extension details.
What does it all mean?
I haven't used the free VOIP for years - but I'd like to keep it.

Basically it's a fraud prevention measure from our suppliers - outbound calling has been disabled on VoIP extension numbers that haven't been used in the past couple of months. If they're left on and active and an account is compromised, basically it means it can't be abused.
If you only use your VoIP account to receive incoming calls or to call other VoIP numbers, then there's nothing to worry about. If you do want to make outgoing calls to landlines though you'll need to log in to your VoIP control panel and tick the box mentioned - calls to landlines will use your account's credit though.
Hope that helps explain.

I've retained it through the various iterations of services - since 05/09/2007
Pity you can't just say "dial a number" - the configuration is a pig.
So although I haven't used it - I might just do so (one day).
