   I've never heard of a phone blocking a specific number.  Do you have any   
   other phone to plug into the RJ-11 jack to test?   
      
   If you were local to me, I have a number of old trimline handsets; I'd   
   just give you one.  You can still pick up one of these very cheap basic   
   corded phones at any local retailer.  They might cost fewer than $10 for   
   a set at Walmart... would be good to have in case of a power outage.
