What is the difference between Selective Blocking and Complete Blocking?
If you have Selective Blocking your name and number will appear on the display of subscribers to Caller ID service. With Selective Blocking you still have the option to block your name and number on a per call basis simply by dialing *67 (1167 on a rotary phone) before the number. Complete Blocking enables callers to conceal their telephone numbers on all outgoing calls. Complete Blocking delivers the message “Anonymous” or “Private” to Caller ID display units. This service may block callers or make it difficult for family and friends to get through. Q: I am a doctor/teacher and I really value my private time. I do not want to reveal my name and telephone number when I return calls to clients after hours from my home phone. If they have ACR I won’t be able to reach them. A: You can call the Operator to place the call for you, for a charge. Or, if you have another telephone line in your home that you use for a fax or computer you may want to use one of these lines to make outgoing calls
