2. Incoming call
When you have an incoming call,
the handset display will show
‘Announced call’. When you pick

caller announcement so you can
decide whether to take the call.

caller will be advised that their call
is not accepted and the call will be
disconnected.
The number will be blocked and
added to the blocked calls list if
Caller ID is displayed. If the number
calls again, the caller will hear,
“Callers to this number are being
screened by BT Call Blocking,
the person you are calling is not
accepting your call. Please hang up”.
