No way to block outgoing international calls

[ARVSIN66]

It is unfortunate that Verizon wireless doesn't have a feature to block outgoing international calls for their customers. We have already incurred charges for international calls which were made mistakenly using direct call (instead of apps such as vonage or whatsapp). The suggestion provided by the Verizon representative was to remove the contacts from the phones, which is not a practical option because we still need to able to message, use apps (which uses same contacts) to communicate with them.

This request is to make the feature available where customers can block outgoing international calls.

Were there any updates on this topic? 

As Verizon wants to make sure users get the help they need with blocking international calls from being place, can you please just add the ability for users to do so?

how do I place a block on outgoing international calls on my account?

Arobster, we understand how vital it is for you to be able to block international calls to avoid extra costs. Your phone line is required to have an international feature to allow you to make international calls. We can remove the feature from your line to prevent, your line from making international calls. Please keep in mind that your line will be able to call international numbers that have ten-digit numbers like U.S. numbers. We offer some great international plans so you can make calls from the U.S. at great rates. Take a look. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/international-long-distance-faqs/

You can stop yourself from doing so by not placing international calls, and tell those that you trust with your account to not do so also

I do need this feature to block outgoing international calls. When I look this blog, it appears that Verizon is not very serious to address this request by customers.
