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.
The FRITZ!Box will not accept calls from
the blocked telephone number.
However, the call block only works if the

The FRITZ!Box will not accept any calls
from callers who suppress their tele-
