Shaw Home Phone
With
Anonymous Call
Blocking, you can avoid getting calls from numbers that
have a privacy
feature activated, like Caller ID
Blocking. When Anonymous Call Blocking is activated, your
phone won’t ring. Instead, the caller
will hear a recording that says you don’t accept calls from
blocked numbers. Boo hoo. These callers
will then have to hang up and unblock their number
before they can talk to you.
It’s no problem at all if you want some
privacy from certain callers.
Selective Call
Blocking
lets you enter up to 32 numbers that you
don’t want to receive calls from. Anyone trying to call
you from a number you have blocked will
get a recording telling them that you are not presently
accepting calls from their number.
