Outgoing calls
The blocked telephone number can no
longer be called from the FRITZ!Box.
Ranges of telephone numbers, for in-
stance, mobile networks, can also be
blocked.
Incoming calls
The FRITZ!Box will not accept calls from
the blocked telephone number.

caller allows transmission of her or his
telephone number.
Anonymous callers
The FRITZ!Box will not accept any calls
from callers who suppress their tele-
phone number.
