That is correct -- Verizon phones do not have that setting.

OK, so I just spoke to Verizon and "My Personal Tech" - LOL - and he said they DO NOT remove that feature.

In fact they do not remove any feature from the iPhone... So, there's that.

I know I can use *67 to block my calls one at a time OR Verizon will put up a block for me on ALL of my outgoing calls.

So at least I have a workaround - inconvenient but ok.

OF CORSE Verizon also has a package for $4.99 MORE a month that will let me block "UNKNOWNS" & might do the trick on the "Show My Caller ID" as well - NO THANKS!!!!!

I'll be using my "Do Not Disturb" Feature to send anyone NOT on my Contacts list to voicemail, instead. I figure if it's a legit call, they'll leave a message & the others can call all they want, so long as I don't have to hear it while in a meeting or on a date!

Thanks for your help - I kinda figured that Verizon was full of it!
