An apparatus and method are disclosed for playing an announcement to a calling party that is placing a call in an anonymous manner to prompt the calling party to respond in a manner which causes a switch to make the call identifiable by the called party. The apparatus is operable to play the announcement if the called party is a subscriber to anonymous call rejection and has activated the feature and if the calling party is calling in an anonymous mode. If the calling party does not respond within a specified time period the call is blocked. Specified responses include verbal responses as well as key entries on the calling party phone. A typical specified time period is five seconds.
