Unfortunately, there is a limit. However, keep adding numbers and when you hit the limit a) call and complain that you can't add more numbers and b) delete one of your oldest numbers. Chances are that they have given up by now.Your other option is to try using Google Voice and set it to ban those callers in the same way.

I happened to stumble on this site, while adding my phone # to the “do not disturb” registry for the 2nd time in as many weeks. Since intrusting this site my “unsolicited” calls have doubled. I have never had any trouble with Comcast and have been extremely happy with thier service so I was overjoyed to find out they offer this service. I plan on utilzing Comcast,and agree with the following statement “I will add every number that calls and hangs up without leaving a message. I don’t know what they want, but if they can’t even give me the courtesy to leave a message, I probably don’t want to hear it.” My only question to anyone out there is…is there a cap on the number of phone numbers added??

FYI for all out there, not only are they getting thru with the 000-000-0000, they are using 999-999-9999.

The setting to block unknown is different and may be one of the other options. You can try to listen to the menu at the beginning and see if there is a “block unknown”. As for the 0. I ended up blocking 000-000-0000 myself because a lot of telemarketers seem to like that trick. It doesn’t show up as “unknown” but it obviously is not legit.

You can also try checking the Comcast.net website and see if you can block callers without caller ID there. I think it was one of the “extra” services that you could choose from.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I recently canceled my land line and went with just my cellphone, so I can’t go into the system and try it out myself.

The caller ID keeps putting the word unknown and the caller ID shows 0
Since Comcast wants a six diget number, how do I rid myself about this unknown caller
with the number 0.

As usual, Comcast is clueless about customer needs…. They seem to want to hide this terrific feature. I have Comcast, as I need high speed Internet and they are the only option here, (They suck so bad I really think about going back to ancient dial-up technology.)

I finally Googled it to fine this webpage – THANKS for that!.

Glad to help.

It seems like every phone service should have the ability to block whatever number you want based on caller ID. I guess that would hurt their business of selling phone lists to telemarketers too much.
