WebPhone Plus offers great calling features at no additional

Call Blocking:
Selective Call Rejection, Selective Call Acceptance and Anonymous
Call Rejection
Call Blocking allows you to gain better control over
the numbers you receive calls from
and the numbers you
do not. You can create a list of up 10 numbers for Selective
Call Rejection or Selective Call Acceptance on the Call Blocking
settings page of our online account center. This feature will
help reduce the amount of unwanted or unsolicited calls you
receive.
Selective Call Rejection and Selective Call Acceptance are
mutually exclusive features. You may only enable one of these
features at a time.
Selective Call Rejection - Block calls from certain

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.

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."
To block anonymous calls:
- Press *77 and then the Dial button.
- Press the End button after you have heard the confirmation
message.
To deactivate Anonymous Call Rejection:
- Press *87 and then the Dial button.
- Press the End button.
Usage Notes:

Call Blocking features. It can be active on its own or when
either Selective Call Rejection or Selective Call Acceptance
are active.

Frequently Asked Questions:
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 I know 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.
Will WebPhone report which callers on my Selective
Call Rejection list have tried to call me?
No. WebPhone does not have the ability to report 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 through the account center and through
the WebPhone software?
At this time, you can only manage your lists online through
the account center.
