Preventing outgoing calls through Call Block?

I read a blog that stated that the 5 free incoming call blocking spaces also restrict outgoing calls to those numbers? Its not worded as incoming and outgoing, only Familybase is worded that way( for $5 a month). Does anyone know if the free blocking feature actually does block outgoing calls and texts to the specified numbers?

Mik11,

Great question, let's get to the bottom of this and address any confusion! The Call and Message Block will prevent incoming calls/messages it will not prevent outgoing calls or messages. If you are looking to block both incoming and outgoing then I would suggest going with our FamilyBase feature. Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns. http://vz.to/1gRCDEj

You did not really answer the question. I have just purchased family base, as I was told I could block outgoing text and calls. Can you confirm, that if I add a number to the block list, it will prevent all OUTGOING calls and text to that phone number

sgrubb we apologize for the confusion! We'll make sure that everything is clear! FamilyBase allows you to block incoming and outgoing calls for up to 20 numbers so adding the phone number will block both. For all the details, check out http://vz.to/1bRyS9X
