Block calls to Int'l and Caribbean numbers?

Is there a way to block ALL incoming & outgoing calls/texts from/to international numbers and to North American area codes that are really in the Caribbean? One of my daughters called an 876 number & I was charged $60.Block. How about being able to block calls that will result in additional charges?

We have a great option for you, pjlindsey. Our Family Base feature allows you to block unwanted calls and messages along with allowing you to monitor usage on the device and set up other restrictions. Here is a link to with further information to set this up if you choose, http://vz.to/1MQt2LB

We already have Family Base. Yes, it can block INDIVIDUAL numbers, but cannot block calls in general to international, fake North American area codes that are charged as international calls, and calls that have toll fees. IT can block calls from anonymous or restricted numbers. Since Family Base is supposed to help a family control costs, adding this feature (a few extra check boxes) would be great.

I understand your concerns with preventing these international charges.  However, There are several countries that may be dialed direct without adding International Calling.  Currently, other than the Verizon FamilyBase feature, there is no way to block "all" international calling.  See more information here: http://vz.to/1KuDTFU.
