Okay, I am getting a little tired of getting calls from debt collectors. Seriously, I have been getting these calls for years and they have always been made in error. They are never for me. I guess we just get lousy old phone numbers from deadbeats.

The latest round of calls have been coming from 281-385-8206 out of Baytown, TX. That’s what the caller ID says anyway. These companies are so corrupt that I really don’t believe it.

Basically, when I pick up the phone, I just get a recording from some guy who says that I should call back 281-385-8206 and that the call is to collect a debt. Okay, I know…the only reason I actually ever pick up the phone is because I want to tell these people that they have the wrong number. Oh no, I can’t even do that because it’s not a human on the other end who is making the call.

So, what to do? Well, if you are using Comast as your phone service, you can use the “Call Block” feature. I did a little search for this and found out how to use it. Here is the info I found from this website:

How do you block an incoming number on Comcast?

Thank you for the question. I am also a Comcast user in your area. I have received the following information from Comcast which will help you with the problem you are having. Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I will be happy to assist further. Thanks again!

You can block certain callers from calling you by using either Call Screening or Anonymous Call Rejection.

Call Screening allows you to create a list of up to 12 numbers that will receive an announcement indicating you are not presently accepting calls.

To use Call Screening:

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *60.
3. A menu of options will guide you in managing this feature. The prompts will enable you to activate and deactivate the feature as well as add, delete, or review the numbers on your list.

To cancel Call Screening:

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *80.
3. When prompted, press 3 to turn the feature off.

Note: When creating your list, enter the area code plus the 7 digit number for both local and domestic long-distance numbers.

Anonymous Call Rejection announces to callers who block the display of their name and number that you are not accepting blocked calls and instructs them to unblock their information and dial you again.

To use Anonymous Call Rejection:

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *77 and listen for a confirmation tone that the feature has been activated.

To cancel Anonymous Call Rejection:

1. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *87 and listen for a confirmation tone that the feature has been canceled.

Well, there you go. I hope this helps anyone who needs to block an incoming call while using the Comcast phone service.
