FRITZ! Fon C6 International
Question about FRITZ! Fon C6 International
I have set up a spam phone book in my FB 7490 where all nuisances are stored. Works very well with the current phone. For a Fritz Fon I would now have to create a phone book with my favourite numbers. (Stored in the phone in the current Fon). Does that work? Will the spam fonts still be filtered or will I lose this block?
Helpful answer
I cannot judge whether there is a functional dependency between the phone book and the blacklist, but I would guess that there is not. I cannot estimate the exact capacity of the blacklist, I have only blocked a small two-digit number of call centre numbers. If in doubt, I would contact AVM support.
Yes, that is possible. You can create several phone books on the FritzBox and use such a phone book for your contacts.
On the Fritz Phone C5, the phone book to be displayed can be set in the options.
We also use it this way. We have 3 phonebooks with SPAM numbers, which are blocked by the call handling.
And a regular phone book with our loved ones, which is then also displayed on the phone.

As already mentioned, you can define rules for incoming calls in the Fritz!Box. In the Fritz!Box menu this is called "Call handling".
Note: This has nothing to do with phone books. It also has nothing to do with whether or which telephone terminals are connected (any DECT and/or a Fritz!Fon and/or an ISDN telephone and/or a good-old analogue telephone and/or an IP telephone and/or one of the answering machines integrated in the Fritz!Box and/or/and/and/and...).
Via these rules you can e.g. reject or redirect incoming calls directly.
My tip:
- Activate a "Fritz!Box-internal answering machine". Call it "SPAM answering machine" or something like that.
- Make a "rule for incoming calls" so that they are directly and immediately forwarded to this answering machine and it accepts the call directly. Their phones will then never ring.
- Record a short greeting, e.g. "Yes, hello? ... One moment please... I'll be right there... Yes please, what is it?"
This gives the (SPAM) caller the feeling that there is actually a person on the phone.
- Many of the 'harassers' will then also start talking themselves - and this then simply ends up on this internal answering machine. From time to time they can listen to this palaver - it's sometimes funny.
We have the following rules for this "direct forwarding to the answering machine":
- all incoming calls without a telephone number (i.e. "from unknown")
- incoming calls with prefix "003
- incoming calls with prefix "004
- various numbers, often "058....".
From time to time (every few months or so) I check which of these rules are no longer necessary and then remove them. But others are then added again.

In the FrizBox, you can create blocked numbers (a kind of blacklist) in the menu: "Telephony / Call Handling / Call Blocks", which is then also adopted by the handset.
