Not familiar with Smart call blocker?

Want to know more?

Smart call blocker is an effective call screening tool, which allows your phone system to

screen ALL calls.

If you are not familiar with it or want to know more before you start, read on and learn how

to change to call screening mode

+

, and perform the necessary preparations before use.

So... what is Smart call blocker?

Smart call blocker filters 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 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 the Smart call blocker to screen calls by

asking the callers to record their names and press the

pound key (

#

). Aﬅer 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 Directory or Allow list, they will bypass all screening and

ring directly to your handsets.
