What Verizon offers to its landline customers is a service that allows the customer to screen calls. A caller must either input a code number give by the subscriber or else state a name. The subscriber phone rings and if the code is correct, the caller is connected. If a name was given, the caller is on music hold and the subscriber hears the name given and may elect to block the call, put it in voice mail or answer. With the increase in unwanted calls for car warranties, surveys, etc., such a service is invaluable.
It sounds like you're describing AT&T's 'Privacy Manager' service. I don't think verizon offers a similar service that allows callers to enter a code to bypass it. I believe verizon only offers the abiltity to block calls that have hidden their caller id and you should be able to block specific numbers as well. both can be found http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=21249&p=null
I think that's the best you;re going to get with the hub.
