BT Call Blocking
You need Caller Display
This will help you get the most out of your BT Call Blocking. You can get this from your phone service
provider. Charges may apply.
Your BT8600 has four Blocking modes that allow you to easily manage incoming calls in dierent ways:
• Announce – All calls not in your Contacts, Allow or VIP list must say their name. Those on your Blocked list
hear, “Callers to this number are being screened by BT Call Blocking, the person you are calling is not
accepting your call. Please hang up”.
• International – All calls from International numbers must announce their name. All other calls come
straight through, except those already on the block list, who will hear the message above.
• Ans Phone – All calls not in your Contacts, Allowed or VIP list are sent straight to the Answer Phone
including those on your Blocked list.
• Custom–Youchoosehowyou’d liketohandleallofyourcalls.
In Announce mode(defaultsetting),theBT8600willlterallrsttimecallsfromnumbersthatarenot
yet saved in your Contacts, or already on your allowed list. By doing this, you gradually build up these lists
and your phone will know how to deal with the call the next time it comes in.
