*60 will allow you to block up to 10 numbers. It's not really user friendly. When you dial it, it will tell you the feature is not on then there is dead air, hang on the line it will tell you how to activate and add numbers to the block list.

  If you know the number ahead of time that you want to block, then this makes it easier, however, if you don't know the number, then you'll have to wait for the number to be received on your phone, and then you'll need to write it down, or collect it from your caller id.

  Lift your receiver, and wait until you hear your dial tone. Once you hear the dial tone, press *60. A voice menu will start, and it will direct you as to what to do to add a number, remove a number, delete a number. This is where you'll add the number that you want to block into your phone. You will need to key in the area code, along with the 7 digit number.

  When, or if, for any reason, you decide that you no longer need this feature on your phone, it can easily be canceled by pressing *80, then pressing number 3 on your phone.
