A privacy screening service allows a subscriber to send a call screening request during a telephone call. The call screening request may comprise a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency key (e.g., "Touch Tones") on a telephone keypad, a softkey entry on a communications device, and/or a data message from an Internet Protocol phone or client application. The call screening request may store incoming line identification (ICLID) information of the connected communications signal in a database, add the ICLID information to a Do Not Call list, update a subscriber's profile with the ICLID information, and/or storing the ICLID information in a subscriber's blocked communications list. The Do Not Call list, the subscriber's profile, and/or the subscriber's blocked communications list may include communications instructions for the called number as well as include communications instructions for other registered communications addresses (e.g., other telephone numbers, an email address, and other communications addresses of the subscriber).
