CALLER ID BLOCKING

 

Caller ID Blocking allows you to prevent the transmission of your phone number on outgoing calls. This feature will prevent your phone number from bing displayed on Caller ID equipment or announced to customers who subscribe to Call Return.

Caller ID Blocking – Per Call allows you to prevent the transmission on your telephone number on an as needed basis. All subscribers are automatically assigned Caller ID Blocking Per Call.

Caller ID Blocking – Per Line allows you to prevent the transmission of your telephone number on a continuous basis. With this feature the display of your telephone number is automatically prevented each time you make call. Your number will be shown as “Private” or “Anonymous” on Caller ID display devices. You may turn off this feature on an as-needed basis to allow delivery of your telephone number for a particular call. To order Caller ID Blocking Per Line, you must contact our Customer Care Center.
