Want to know more? Smart call blocker is an effective call screening tool, which allows your phone system to screen ALL home calls. The screening feature of Smart call blocker is applicable to home calls only. All incoming cell calls will get through and ring. If you want to block a cell call, add the number to the block list. Read on and learn how to change to call screening mode+, add the number to the block list, and perform the necessary preparations before use. * Use of Smart call blocker feature requires subscription of caller ID service. � Includes licenced QaltelTM technology. Issue 2.0 10/21. Welcome calls Family and friends with numbers: - In Phonebook - In Allow list Robocalls with caller names (e.g. your pharmacy): - In Star name list^ Unwelcome calls Robocalls and telemarketing calls: - Numbers in your block list 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.
