It is easy enough, as you simply press the button indicating “Save” on the digital display.

Block A Call With No Number

What if the calls have no Caller ID? Well, there is always a way to block such a call.

First, make your way to the “Menu” on your Panasonic handheld unit. Then, press the “#” key.

Step 2

Press “240” respectively from the keypad. It will take you to the call history, in which you will see the calls from the Caller ID list, the private number, or calls with no Caller ID.

Step 3

Step 4

Select the “Save” option on the digital display. Boom! The call with no Caller ID is blocked.

How To Unblock A Number

The call-blocking feature on phones for seniors is incredibly convenient. I cannot agree more to this.

However, what if you accidentally added a number on the block list?

My grandmother found herself in such a situation before.

I did not know how, but her friend’s number made its way to the block list on the phone. Not until they met up for a coffee and the friend complained about not being able to call my grandma did she realize that his number was right there.

Luckily, there is the Panasonic’s programming functionality to solve the problem. It allowed her to check the block list and erase the phone number of her friend immediately.

What a relief!

If you are in the same situation and searching for a solution, here it is.

Step 1

First off, you need to access the block list on your Panasonic handheld phone.

Press the menu button followed by the “#” key and scroll down; the list of blocked numbers should be one of the options there.

Once you see the block list in highlight, press enter.

I almost forgot it! You can enter “217” using the numeric keypad for quick access to the block list.

Step 2

Press the down arrow to scroll through and find the number you want to remove from the list.

Step 3

Select the desired number and press the key under “Erase” to unblock it.

Step 4

The system will ask if you really want to proceed. Choose “Yes” to confirm your selection.

You are good to go then! The number you select will be deleted from the block list immediately, which means its owner can call you whenever they want.
