@gordow : Here are my comments.
1. Most new cordless (and other) home phones have a built in call block feature. Check yours to see. You need to have call display, but I believe that's included with home phone, but you need it on your phone(s)
2. Rogers Home Phone manager may be free for you to use, however, I have tried to get it to work and gave up because the functionality is so poor. You access it using MyRogers, then Home Phone: See links below:

3. Call blocking is pretty useless these days. Spammers/scammers change their phone numbers all the time so adding them to the call block feature is usually futile since the next time they call it'll be from a different number.
4. Luckily, Rogers marks many spammers and fraudsters with "Likely Spam" or "Likely Fraud" on call display.
5. I have given all the people in my call directory a distinctive ring, so if I don't hear that from my phones, I'm fairly sure the incoming call is not something I want to take. This is a feature of my Panasonic Cordless phone set.

You should have call screen....Do you not see phone #'s from those calling you?
