Anonymous call rejection
How do I activate anonymous call rejection? Dialing *77 only gives me a rapid dial tone. I am using selective call rejection now, but unidentified calls slip through. Thanks.

Unfortunately anonymous call rejection won't help with "unidentified" calls, only ones that come up as "private" on the CallerID. The rapid dial tone is the confirmation sound to let you know its enabled.
Anonymous Call rejection (Page 2 of manual)
Refuse calls from those who have blocked their numbers.
When you’ve turned this service “on” any callers who have blocked their number
from your Caller ID display will hear an announcement that you do not accept
anonymous calls and they should remove the blocking and then call back. All other
calls will ring through as usual.
To “turn on” the Service:
1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *77
3. Listen for a confirmation tone or announcement. Hang up.
To “turn off” the Service:
1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press *87
3. Listen for a confirmation tone or announcement. Hang up.
Note: You will not be notified when calls have been rejected.
