With
Call screening
active, Smart call blocker screens
and filters all incoming calls from numbers or names
that are not yet saved in your Phonebook, 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.
The Smart call blocker settings for line 1 and line 2 are
independent, and can be configured separately, while
your Phonebook, Allow list, Block list, and Star name list
are all shared between both lines.

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. Such lists, including the phonebook, block list, allow
list, and star name list, are all shared by both line 1 and line 2.
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 (
#
). 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 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.
