Smart call blocker
Screen uncategorized home calls
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is set to
screen uncategorized calls, the telephone will not ring when
receiving the following incoming calls:
Incoming home calls with absent caller ID numbers;
f
Incoming home calls with numbers that are not in your
f
directory, allow list, nor block list; or
Incoming home calls with names that are not in your star
f
name list.
The telephone plays a screening announcement to the
caller and asks the caller to respond before putting the call
through to you. There are two screening options. You can
set your Smart call blocker to screen these calls by asking
the callers to record their names and then press the pound
key (#). Alternatively, you can screen these calls by only
asking the callers to press the pound key (#).
Screen uncategorized home calls and ask for
caller names
When screening a call, the telephone announces to the
caller, "Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by
Smart call blocker. Please say your name after the tone, then press pound." After
the caller completes the request, the telephone announces to the caller "Please
wait a moment while your call is connected.". The telephone starts ringing and
announces the caller's name. The telephone screen displays Screened call
and you can pick up the call. The telephone will then ask whether you want to
answer or reject the call, or to forward the call to the answering system.
Screen uncategorized home calls without asking for caller names
When screening a call, the telephone announces to the caller, "Hello. Calls to
this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. If you're a family member,
friend or invited caller, please press pound to be connected. If you're a solicitor,
please hang up now." After the caller presses the pound key (#), the telephone
announces to the caller "Please wait a moment while your call is connected.". The
telephone starts ringing, and you can pick up the call. This option is suitable for
you to filter calls that uses autodialers to deliver pre-recorded messages, for
example, robocalls and telemarketing calls.
