+
With Call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and filters all
incoming home calls from numbers or names that are not yet saved
in your Phonebook, 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.
So... what is Smart call blocker?
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 home 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 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 (#). 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 Phonebook or Allow
list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
