About Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use Smart call blocker to
screen robocalls, telemarketing calls and unwanted calls for you, while allowing
welcome calls to get through.
†
† The screening feature of Smart call blocker is applicable to home calls only. All incoming cell calls will get through and ring.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. Smart call
blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks calls
from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown home calls, you can allow these calls, block these calls, or
forward these calls to the answering system.
Withsomeeasycongurations,youcansettoonlylterrobocallsbyaskingthe
callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put through to you.
You can also set Smart call blocker to screen incoming home calls by asking
the callers to record their names and press the pound key (#).Aer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 does not respond or record his/her name,
the call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to
your directory or allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your
handsets.
Notes:
f Smart call blocker is on, once you install your telephone. It allows all incoming calls to get through and ring by default.
You can change the Smart call blocker settings to screen incoming calls. For more details, see Set prole (page 78).
f With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and lters all incoming home calls from numbers or names that are not
yet saved in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your allow
list and block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and Smart call blocker will know how
to deal with these calls when they come in again.
