[Electronics-Talk] Verizon FYOS Handset * Commands

Fri Feb 26 01:51:19 UTC 2016

Hi Matthew,

If you are wanting to block specific incoming numbers, you will need to set
this from within your online account manager.  If you are wanting to block
all anonymous callers, use the following 2 codes to enable and disable this
feature.

Anonymous Call Reject - Activate *77 
Anonymous Call Reject - Disable *87

I found these 2 codes and a few others in the FYOS User's Guide.  I was able
to save the PDF for future use.  For quick reference, here is the chart from
Page 37 containing a list of all of the * commands you can use from your
handset.

FiOS Digital Voice Feature & Telephone Access Codes                 
Anonymous Call Reject - Activate *77 
Anonymous Call Reject - Disable *87 
Call Forwarding – Activate *72 
Call Forwarding – Disable *73 
Call Return *69 
Call Trace *57 
Call Waiting – Activate *43 
Call Waiting – Disable *44 
Call Waiting – Disable per Call Activate *70 
Do Not Disturb - Activate* *78 
Do Not Disturb - Disable* *79 
Outgoing Caller ID Block – Activate *31 
Outgoing Caller ID Block – Disable *32 
Outgoing Caller ID – Block Per Call Activate *67 
Outgoing Caller ID – Allow Per Call Activate *82 
Speed Dial 100 program • To use, dial # + 2-digit speed dial code *75 

HTH,
Annette

We sure can.

On a real note, where can I find the Verizon digital line/FiOS codes, e.g.
the code for blocking callers who have no ID. Thanks.--Matthew Chao
