Smart call blocker filters robocalls and unwanted calls for
you, while allowing welcome calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. The Smart call
blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks calls
from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown calls, you can allow, block, or screen these calls, or forward
these calls to the answering system.
With some easy configurations, you can set to only filter robocalls by asking the
callers to press the pound key (
#
) before the calls are put through to you.
You can also set the Smart call blocker to screen calls by asking the callers to
record their names and press the pound key (
#
). After your caller completes the
request, your telephone rings and announces the caller’s name. You can then
choose to block or answer the call, or you can forward the call to the answering
system. If the caller hangs up, or does not respond or record his/her name, the
call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to your
Allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
