Hi guys and girls,

Is there any way to block phone numbers on the landline?
I've looked under manage but didn't see anything for it. 
I keep getting scammers ringing the house and I've a list of different numbers they use and wish I could block them.

Unfortunately not. Vodafone's digital voice service is very stripped down with no calling features. Your only chance of blocking a lot of them is the Telephone Preference Service

though I'm not sure how effective they are these days.

That would be great if they were marketing calls, but it's just people with nothing better to do keeps annoying me.

I've searched all the numbers on the Who Called Me website and they all point to India.

Buy a handset with call blocking features.

You could get a call blocker device from TrueCall.

I second this, I have had TrueCall (dragons den) for 2 years and not had a single scammer get past it. Brilliant bit of kit, my mum has one now but instead of the stand along unit I have she has it built into her DECT phone set she bought, she is just as impressed.

Could be worth a try, the only other option would be to unhook the landline and let them ring fresh air. LOL!

Landline is only used for incoming calls. Any calls I make myself are done on the mobile phone.
