Smart call blocker

About Smart call blocker*

If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use Smart
call blocker to filter robocalls, telemarketing calls and unwanted calls,
while allowing welcome calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers.
Smart call blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get
through, and it blocks calls from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown calls, you can allow these calls, block these calls,
or forward these calls to the answering system.
With some easy configurations, you can set to only filter robocalls by
asking the callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put
through to you.
You can also set Smart call blocker to screen incoming 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 does not respond or record his/her name, the call is
blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers
to your directory or allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring
directly to your handsets.
Notes:
Smart call blocker is on, once you install your telephone. It allows all incoming calls to get through
f
and ring by default. You can change the Smart call blocker settings to screen incoming calls. For
more details, see Set profile (page 77).
With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and filters all incoming calls from numbers or
f
names that are not yet saved in your directory, 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.
To turn off Smart call blocker, see Set Smart call blocker on/off on page 77.
