Storing Invited and Blocked Numbers
PrivacyCall works with all U.S. Domestic and Foreign FSK Caller ID systems on Standard 2-Wire
Telephone Lines, Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), ADSL Modems, VoIP Adapters (Linksys, Motorola),
Cable Modems, Canadian and Digital phone services from Skype, Vonage, Cox Cable and others.
PrivacyCall models come from the factory Inviting every caller except Unknown and no number which
are automatically answered, so you can just enter those callers you want to block. However, you can
remove the Invited List using the Caller List Deletion command detailed below and start with your
own call list.
The [
*
] key is used to store a number of any length up to 14 digits. When adding numbers to the invite
or blocked lists be sure to end the number you enter with the [
*
] key. You can block or allow whole
area codes, exchanges or parts of numbers using the [#] symbol as a replacement for any number.
Fax or Business Phone Port
You can Invite specific fax calls to your fax machine or route your Invited business or children’s calls to
the FAX port where a phone can be connected instead. This feature can separate special business or
children’s calls away from the main PHONE port to give you flexibility in routing calls based on the
caller’s ID. To enable this feature, enter programming with [#] [#] <Beep>, then 95 <Beep>,
followed by the specific fax or phone number Ex. 602 555 1212 [
*
], hear <Beep><Beep>.
Global Invite (Factory Default) Invites all callers who display a phone number
You can invite all callers who display a phone number and yet block a single number or area code. This
one command will allow all Invited callers who display a phone number to ring through to the PHONE
port and all other devices connected directly to the phone line. However, all Unknown callers will be
greeted by the Outgoing Message. To do this, enter programming with [#] [#]<Beep>, and then 96
<Beep> then [#] [
*
] <Beep><Beep>. Be sure to listen for the confirmation tones.
