Anyone knows if there any plans at FPL to introduce a “Call Blocking” feature? Certainly something we could use.

This one has been kicked around quite a bit, I am unsure of the current status of it, but feel free to do a search (top right corner) and see what pops up in older discussions! :-)

HI Pierre and Hardy,

At this point in time we are not able to block any numbers as we do not release any of our numbers to third party company's. The only way for a person/organization or company to get your number is if you have used it on another web site, signed up for a service (from a company that may release it). I know that it is a feature that will be taken into consideration as we continue to grow.

... or of course calling into a number that captures your "outgoing" caller-ID (such as WATS/8yy numbers, standard CID devices, etc)...

I think that is more what Pierre was questioning ... supporting something along the lines of *67 per call CID blocking ...

(correct me if I am wrong)

Something along the lines of *67 is would not be a bad idea. I will certainly bring that up to the right people.

It is a bit of an older suggestion, and has been well hashed already. I believe that Steve and Kris have weighed in on it at times, and have "yellow-lighted" the idea for various reasons; I am unsure if the idea would gain much traction, but I certainly would not be opposed to it ... just not holding my breath on it.
