Usage Notes:

By default, the rejection list is empty. No phone numbers are blocked. You must follow the steps for adding a phone number to the rejection list so that incoming calls from that number are blocked.
If your blocked list is empty and you attempt to activate Selective Call Rejection from your phone, you will be prompted to create a list online. The feature will not be activated.
You can dial outgoing calls to phone numbers on your rejected list.
Once a number is placed on the rejection list, the number continues to be blocked indefinitely until you remove the phone number from the rejection list.
Selective Call Rejection and Selective Call Acceptance are mutually exclusive features. You may only enable one of these features.

Selective Call Acceptance
Only accept calls from select phone numbers
Selective Call Acceptance allows you to accept calls from certain phone numbers of your choice. Once you have activated the feature on the Call Blocking settings page, you can create a list of phone numbers that you would like to accept. If this feature is activated, all calls will be rejected except calls from the telephone numbers on the accepted list.

Here’s how it works:
To create a list of accepted phone numbers
1. Go to the Call Blocking settings page in the Manage Service Features section.
2. Choose the activate option for Selective Call Acceptance.
3. Follow the directions on the page to create your accepted phone number list.

To activate Selective Call Acceptance from your phone
1. Pick up the phone handset and dial *64.
2. Hang up the phone handset.

To deactivate Selective Call Acceptance:
1. Pick up the phone handset and dial *84.
2. Hang up the phone handset.

Usage Notes:
By default, the acceptance list is empty and you will accept all calls. You must follow the steps for adding a phone number to the call acceptance list.
If your accepted list is empty and you attempt to activate Selective Call Acceptance from your phone, you will be prompted to create a list online. The feature will not be activated.
Adding numbers to the call acceptance list will block ALL other calls besides those on your call acceptance list. Do not enable this feature unless you want to limit your incoming calls to only those on your call acceptance list.
Selective Call Acceptance and Selective Call Rejection are mutually exclusive features. You may only enable one of the above features.

Anonymous Call Rejection
Reject calls that are hiding their identity
Anonymous Call Rejection allows you to accept all calls except those whose telephone numbers are hidden due to a privacy feature that prevents their number from displaying to the called party. These numbers usually appear on Caller ID as “anonymous” or “unavailable.”

Here’s how it works:

1. Pick up the phone handset and dial *77.
2. Hang up the phone handset after you have heard the confirmation message.

To deactivate Anonymous Call Rejection:

1. Pick up the phone handset and dial *87.
2. Hang up the phone handset.

Usage Notes:
Anonymous Call Rejection is independent from the other Call Blocking features. It can be active on its own or when either Selective Call Rejection or Selective Call Acceptance are active.

Manage the feature online
You can change your Call Blocking settings in the Manage Service Features section of the online account center.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between Selective Call Rejection and Anonymous Call Rejection?
Will my phone ring when someone on my Selective Call Rejection list is calling me?
Will I know which callers on my Selective Call Rejection list have tried to call me?
Can I manage my Selective Call Rejection and Selective Call Acceptance Lists online and via phone?

What is the difference between Selective Call Rejection and Anonymous Call Rejection?
Selective Call Rejection automatically blocks incoming calls from selected phone numbers -- up to a maximum of 10
-- on list that you create. Blocked callers will hear a recording saying that you are not presently taking calls.

Anonymous Call Rejection, on the other hand, automatically blocks calls from people who have activated either Per-
Call or Per-Line Blocking, which prevents their name and/or phone number from being displayed on a Caller ID
device.

Will my phone ring when someone on my Selective Call Rejection list is calling me?
No. Once you enter a number on your rejected call list, any call from that number will not be able to get through to
you. The caller on the other end will receive a message that you are not accepting calls. Your phone will not ring.

Will I know which callers on my Selective Call Rejection list have tried to call me?
No. You will not know which of your rejected numbers has tried to contact you. Once you enter a number on your
rejected call list, they will not be able to get through to your line. The caller on the other end will receive a message
that you are not accepting calls.

Can I manage my Selective Call Rejection and Selective Call Acceptance Lists online and via phone?
At this time, you can only manage your lists online.
