Can SkypeIn block incoming calls from callers that have blocked callerid? I believe SkypeIn shows such calls as from an unknown Skype user and the Skype history list such calls from an Invalid Skype Name or number. I would like to block all such calls.

Since apparently no one knew the answer to this question I posted over a year ago, I thought I'd reply to my own post with the solution I discovered:

Enter the number +000000 in your Blocked Users list.

Well, I received my first SkypeIn call in years from an "Unknown number". Maybe an upgrade has disabled this "feature".

Yes, something changed without notice. The identity is no longer "+000000", but is now "undisclosed_pstn:XXX" (where XXX is an apparently random number).

In Skype for Windows you can go to Tools | Options | Privacy
and check "Block calls when number is hidden"

Maybe you will receive a reply when you post in the Mac forum.

If I blocked all calls that were hidden, I would receive none? as my skype now shows EVERY in bound call as unknown number even if they are in my contact list? What the heck is up with that? A little help here please?

What am I paying for?
