18 BT 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.

You need Caller Display This will help you get the most out of your BT Call Blocking. You can get it from

your phone service provider (Charges may apply).

Your BT4600 has two BT Call Blocking modes to help you easily manage your

incoming calls in dierent ways. When set to:

• Announce (all calls not saved in your Contacts, Allow and Speed dial list list must say their name. They will hear, “Callers to this number are being screened by a BT Call Blocking phone please say your name after the tone and then press # and wait to be connected”. Those on your Blocked list will hear, “Callers to this number are being screened by a BT Call Blocking phone, the person you are calling isn’t 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).

If you need some help, call us on 0800 145 6789* or go to bt.com/producthelp

Page 19

BT Call Blocking 19

In Announce mode (default setting), the BT4600 will lter all rst time calls from

numbers that are not yet saved in your Contacts, Speed dial list or already on your allowed list. By doing this, you gradually build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers and your BT4600 will know how to deal with the call the next time it comes in.

Record your Announce message

You can personalise the BT Call Blocking greeting, by adding your name to the Announce message.

1. Select Menu, scroll to Call control press OK then BT Call blocking menu is shown, press OK.

2. Scroll to Announce messages, press OK.

3. The Record name option will show. Press OK and follow the voice prompt and press Save.

4. Your recording will then be played back to you. If you aren’t happy with it, you can press Delete while it’s playing.

The Block button

You can use your block call button in three ways.

Press as a shortcut to the BT Call Blocking menu.

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

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, “Callers to this number are being screened by BT Call Blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up.”

If you have already answered the call and then decide you want to block the number, press

. 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.

BT Call Blocking 21

How do you accept, block or send a call to the answer phone?

1. BT Call Blocking answers a call for you and asks the caller to say (“announce”) who they are.

2. Your BT4600 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”).

3. You now choose to:

• accept the call, press

• always accept their calls, press

• block their calls, press , or

• send this call to the answer phone, press

• ignore the call, just hang up (this call won’t be added to your blocked list)

When a call starts ringing, you can block it straight away by pressing the button. That number (if its not withheld or unavailable) will then be added to your blocked list.

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.

The caller will hear, “Callers to this number are being screened by BT Call Blocking, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up”.

Calls that are always allowed

Ringback, Operator, VIPs and calls made from a Speed dial contact are always allowed and cannot be blocked using BT Call Blocking.

For compatibility with BT 1571 (or another voicemail service)

Make sure the answer delay is set for your answer machine to answer before the voicemail service. Therefore, the answer delay should be less than on your voicemail service. For BT 1571 do not set the answer delay to more than 5 rings.
