Use this service with Caller ID to reject anonymous callers — whose numbers are blocked from your Caller ID display. An announcement states that you do not accept anonymous calls, and they can remove blocking and place the call again. Blocked, private and anonymous numbers are rejected. Calls from identified, unknown, out-of-area or unavailable IDs will ring through as usual.
