FiOS Digital Voice 'Incoming Anonymous Call Block' stops outgoing calls!

[Costa1]

I've had a problem with outgoing calls getting blocked since 3 July and no one at Verizon has been able to solve this issue.  It's a programming issue for sure, I just hoped by posting this someone could let me know if they found a person within Verizon that actually helped them solve it.

Symptoms: 

1. When Anonymous Call blocking is active, outgoing calls to one specific Area Code get blocked. 
2. When adding in specific numbers to also block, either the entire outgoing call gets blocked or just a few additional Area Codes get blocked.

During call initiation for either scenario above, the result for the dialing person is about 10 seconds of silence, then a recording saying the number you have dialed is not in service. 

Verizon has admitted it is a problem, they thought (several times) they had it resolved.  There is a work around however it involved not using a service I'm paying for: turning off the Incoming Call Block feature completely.  Who wants all the solicitation calls?  Not me...

I will go on yet another 1-2 hour hold session today with Verizon to yet again give Level 2 a chance, however I do hope someone out there has experienced this and found a 'secret sauce' solution or a specific way to escalate the trouble so it gets fixed.  If you have please share it.  Thanks!
