Three distinct approaches exist, each with decreasing compatibility with true POTS lines. A landline telephone traditionally refers to a phone
As nuisance calls and robocalls continue to plague telecommunication users, the demand for call blocking has increased. While mobile devices offer native, one-tap blocking, traditional landline phones (Plain Old Telephone Service – POTS) operate on fundamentally different network architecture. This paper examines the technical limitations of legacy landline systems, the conditional methods available for blocking numbers (including vertical service codes and third-party hardware), and the transition to Voice over IP (VoIP) landline alternatives.
