How to Remove Call Blocking on Verizon

Removing call blocking allows blocked callers to call your phone again.

Call blocking allows you to block calls from specific numbers. Depending on your area, you can block up to six or 12 numbers on Verizon. Call block does not block calls from mobile phones and some businesses. When calls are placed from a blocked number to your phone, a message is played saying you are not accepting calls at the time. You can remove call blocking at anytime from your handset.

Instructions

1. Pick up your Verizon home phone and listen for the dial tone.

2. Press "*80" on your phone's handset. If you are using a rotary phone, dial "1180" instead.

3. Listen for two quick beeps, and hang up your phone.
