What is Call Blocking?
Call Blocking allows you to block calls, both inbound or outbound, based on an area code, number, or other options like 411 or international calls. Call Blocking is available for your entire account, or just a single extension and is included with all VBC plans.

What makes Vonage Call Blocking stand out?
Vonage offers cutting-edge communications technology that hundreds of companies use to collaborate internally and connect with their customers every day.
Our Unified Communications solution provides 50+ features, including Call Blocking, that are flexible, scalable, easy to use, and drive engaging conversations with customers.
Call Blocking can be applied to fax calls coming from a particular number.
Note that Call Blocking is not a broad spam filter; it’s a manual tool for setting rules that apply to specific numbers or types of numbers.
How to use Call Blocking with VBC?
Super Users and Administrators can add and manage rules for the entire account. End Users can apply rules to their own extension, but cannot override account-wide rules applied by an Administrator.
Super Users/Admins — Sign into the Admin Portal, click Phone System, then click Call Blocking. There you can set account-wide or individual rules, modify or remove rules, unblock specific numbers, and set rules from a call log.
End Users — Sign into your Online Account, click the “CP” avatar, then click Settings. You can apply certain quick rules for your extension, create a new rule, and unblock specific numbers.

Admins and Super Users can set account-level call-blocking rules for inbound, outbound or both; for example, they can block all international calls or all calls without a caller ID.
