7. Call blocking
The best way to stop unwanted calls is to know who's at the other end of the phone before you decide if you want to take it.
Note: You need Caller Display. This will help you get the most out of your Call blocking feature. You can get this from your phone service provider.
Your CT610 has two call blocking modes to help you easily manage your incoming calls in different ways. When set to:
- Announce: All calls not in your Contacts or Allowed list must say their name. Those on your Blocked list hear, “Callers to this number are being screened by Call Blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up”.
- Answer phone: All calls not in your Contacts or Allowed list are sent straight to the Answer phone, including those on your Blocked list.
In Announce mode (default setting), the CT610 will filter all first-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 your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and your CT610 will know how to deal with the call the next time it comes in.
7.1 Record your Announce message
You can personalize the Call blocking greeting by adding your name to the Announce message.
- Press [Menu], scroll [Down] to 'Call blocking' and press [OK].
- Scroll [Down] to 'Announce messages', press [OK].
- 'Record name' is displayed. Press [OK] and follow the voice prompt and press [Save].
- Your recording will then be played back to you. If you aren't happy with it, you can press [Delete] while it's playing.
7.2 The Block button
You can use your block call button in three ways.
In idle mode
Press [Call Block] as a shortcut to the Call blocking menu.
Incoming call
When you have an incoming call, before answering, look at the display to see who's calling. If you know you want to block the call, press [Call Block].
The number will be blocked and added to the blocked calls list if Caller ID is displayed. For calls with no caller number, withheld or unavailable, you can also use the Block button to reject the call. The caller will hear, “Calls to this number are being screened by Call blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up.”
During a call
If you have already answered the call and then decide you want to block the number, press [Call Block]. If the number is displayed in the Caller ID, the display will give you the option to select Yes and the number will be added to the blocked numbers list and end the call, or select No to go back to the caller.
7.3 How do you accept, block or send a call to the answer phone?
- Call blocking answers a call for you and asks the caller to say (“announce”) who they are.
- Your CT610 then rings with the Announced call on the display and tells you the caller's name when you pick up (e.g., “You have a call from Mark”).
- You now choose to:
- Accept the call, press [1]
- Always accept their calls, press [2]
- Block their calls, press [3] or [Call Block]
- Send this call to the answer phone, press [4]
- Ignore the call, just hang up (this call won't be added to your blocked list)
Note: When a call starts ringing, you can block it straight away by pressing the [Call Block] button. That number will then be added to your blocked list.
7.4 Change the Call blocking modes?
Your CT610 has two Call blocking settings: Announce and Answer phone.
- Announce: All calls not in your Contacts or Allow list must say their name. Those on your Blocked list hear, “Calls to this number are being screened by Call blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up”.
- Answer Phone: All calls not in your Contacts or Allowed list are sent straight to the Answer Phone, including those on your Blocked list.
- In idle mode, press [Call Block].
- Scroll [Down] to 'Blocking mode' and then select the mode you want to use and press [OK].
8. Switch Call blocking on/off
When Call blocking is set to On, it is On for whichever mode you're using (e.g., Announce mode). If you turn Call blocking Off, all calls will be allowed through, even if they are already on your blocked list.
- In idle mode, press [Call Block].
- 'On/Off' is displayed. Press [OK] and then scroll [Up] or [Down] to select either On or Off and press [Save].
Note: When you receive a call with Call blocking switched on, you will hear the message, ‘You have a call from xxxx. To accept the call press 1. To always accept their call, press 2. To block their call, press 3. To send the call to answer phone, press 4. To hear these options again, press *'.
What happens when you allow a number (caller)
When you get an allowed call, you'll see the caller's number (if available). If you don't answer a call from an allowed number, it will go through to your answer phone (if it's on) or eventually it will hang up if unanswered.
What happens when you block a number (caller)
A caller calling from a blocked number will hear a message telling them that their call has been blocked.
Note: The caller will hear, “Calls to this number are being screened by Call blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up”.
Calls that are always allowed: Ringback and operator calls are always allowed and cannot be blocked using Call blocking.
How to add numbers straight to your Blocked and Allow lists
Aside from adding numbers to your Block and Allow list as calls come through, you can also add numbers directly to the lists via your Call blocking menu.

- Enter the telephone number you want to allow (make sure you enter the full dialling code) and press [Save].
8.3 Deleting your Blocked and Allowed lists
When in the Block and Allow number menus, you also have the choice to delete the whole list. Remember, if you do this, all calls previously blocked and allowed will now be able to contact you.
8.4 To block numbers by area code
You can also block numbers by area code. This means that any calls beginning with that code will be blocked.
- In idle mode, press [Call Block].
- Scroll [Up] or [Down] to 'Block numbers' and press [OK].
