Caller ID and Anonymous Call Block Setup Via Star Code on SPA300 Series IP Phone

[Small Business Community Team]

Objective

Caller ID block allows the users phone number not to appear to the person they call. Anonymous call block prevents calls with unknown caller ID from ringing the IP phone. If the caller has set the phone to block caller ID, then the caller hears a busy signal or message when anonymous call blocking feature is enabled.
