Once a number is added to your blocklist, it applies across all devices linked to your user account, including desktop, web, mobile, and desk phones.


Accessing the blocklist

  1. Open Settings in the bOnline desktop or web app.
  2. Select Blocklist from the menu.

  • Unblock a number to allow calls from it again.

Limitations of Blocking

  • The block applies only to calls directed to the user who enabled it. It does not affect other users in your organisation.
  • If the blocked caller dials another user's direct number, the call will still go through.
  • The block does not apply to calls coming into a group line or main number on a multi-user account.


What Happens When a Blocked Number Calls?

You will not receive a call notification. The call will still show in your Blocked Call History so you remain aware of the attempt.
