VOIP Information Guide

Question by jlbee54: Which telephone service providers can block local/long, international, and private calls?
Hello,

Thanks for checking out my question.

I am looking for a telephone service provider – traditional or VOIP – that can block local/long distance and international calls when that caller’s number is in a given list of numbers OR when that call is from a private number.

My definition of “block” is when the call can’t reach your phone nor your voice-mail.

Anyone know of a provider that has such a service?

I am with Sprint, and they can block local/long distance phone numbers from a given list but NOT private calls, which is kind of stupid since the caller can simply block their numbers when calling. Hence, I am looking for another provider.

Thanks in advance. Any info would be much appreciated.
Also, are there any VOIP providers that have SMS/text service?

Answer by Carl N
My VoIP provider has anonymous call rejection and you can create a list of numbers to block.
It seems that just about anybody with VoIP service can do that, but maybe not. Try http://www.8×8.com but be sure to check out phone power.
