As a CenturyLink customer, you can block select numbers from calling your phone. Selective Call Rejection is a feature that allows you to block numbers of your choice. You can even block the last caller to your CenturyLink phone line. When callers are placed on your blocked list, they will be informed by a recording that you are not currently accepting calls. You can add and remove callers from the list at any time from your phone's handset.
