I have a customer in my store who has a v276. She keeps get obscene calls at 2 in the morning, I know you can block restricted calls on the 8100 and the 8300, does anyone know if you can on the v276? thanx!

Actually, you can't block any calls on any phones. The phones sometimes come with menu options for restrctions, however they will not work on the network. Unfortunately, the only options available are to not answer, turn off her phone, or change her number. Sorry. ☹️

not entirely true actually. i have tested this with motorolas...if you restrict calls to say contact list, incoming calls go directly to voicemail. so the phone will still deny the call

It is true that the call can't be blocked in the sense that it will go to the voice mail. meaning that you still will be harrassed on the voicemail and even they will fill out the mailbox w/insults..of course you have the option of deleting the messages. but the harrassment is able to continue.

true the call still processes in some form, but voicemail is more easily ignored than a harassing call. also if the person leaves a voicemail message then you your proof of harassment🙂 it takes a not very bright person to leave harassing messages when they know they are being recorded. my point simply was in some cases changing the number or leaving the phone powered off were not the only options..motorolas for example do have the call restriction feature that when an unauthorized call comes through the phone simply acts as if the phone was turned off and forwards to voicemail. though unfortunately we do not have the ability to allow customers to block restricted calls, i wish it was a possibility.

Maybe you should forward your phone to 911 just before 2AM????? See what the creep does when the Cops answer. 😲
