How to Block a Phone Number on Verizon
The Verizon telephone service offers a feature called Per Call Blocking. This feature allows you at no additional cost to your Verizon phone bill to block your identity when you make a phone call from your Verizon telephone. It's important to note that the Per Call Blocking feature on Verizon phones does not work on calls to 911 or to toll-free phone numbers. When you block your number from a Verizon telephone, the caller ID of the receiving telephone reads "Restricted."
