So... what is Smart call blocker?
Smart call blocker lters 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 home calls, you can block, screen, or forward these calls to the
answering system.
With some easy congurations, you can set to only lter robocalls on the home line
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 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 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 Directory, they will bypass all screening
and ring directly to your handsets.
