Telephony / Call Handling / Call Blocks / New Call Block

On the "Call Blocks" page you can configure a call block for individual telephone numbers or ranges of telephone numbers.

Setting Up a New Call Block

Overview

You can set up call blocks for outgoing calls and for incoming calls. You can block individual telephone numbers, entire ranges of telephone numbers (for instance premium numbers), or anonymous callers without a telephone number.

Maximum Number of Call Blocks

You can configure a total of 32 call blocks and call diversions for incoming calls. These include:

Call blocks for incoming calls
Call diversion for "Calls by a person in the telephone book"
Call diversion for "Calls from the telephone number"

You can configure, for instance: Twelve call blocks for incoming calls, ten call diversions for calls from contacts in the telephone book, and ten call diversions for calls from certain telephone numbers.

Instructions: Setting Up a Call Block for Outgoing Calls

Telephone numbers that are blocked for outgoing calls can no longer be called from the FRITZ!Box.

You will no longer be able to reach emergency numbers if you set up a call block for calls in the local network and do not have a landline. In order to be able to reach emergency numbers, create dialing rules for all emergency numbers.
