So... what is Smart call blocker?

Smart call blocker lters 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 calls, you can allow, block, or screen these calls, or forward
these calls to the answering system.

With some easy congurations, you can set to only lter robocalls 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 calls by asking the callers to
record their names and press the pound key (#). Aer 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
Allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.

Move to Setup if you want to
screen all unknown calls.

+

With Call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and lters

all incoming calls from numbers or 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.
