does this device block incoming calls from unwanted callers: Calls such as charities, etc

I connected this peripheral to my primary residential land line. (Not cordless phone) This device is built to detect and capture your incoming calls with ease. The instructions enclosed with the product are kind of vague but a simple trial and error trouble shooting should nip everything in the bud. It works for me and the calls are recorded by this device.

No. It says "incoming call." You can answer by saying "answer," or ignore by saying "ignore." But it works very well for me!

Telebounce doesn't block telephone numbers. You can set the machine not to ring your phone unless the calling party presses 1,2 or 3. Another option is your phone will ring once with the caller's id displayed, but the calling party still has to press a number. The teleboucer has reduced our calls from 40 to 50 a day to 4 maybe 5 calls. If you are using a voip line this is a necessity!

Mine doesn't block all numbers, but once you block one accidently you can never get it unblocked

Yes, you can block callers, if you subscribe to Caller ID with your phone company. The instructions on how to do so are on page 30 of the operating instructions booklet. I have used this with great success. Callers that you have blocked will get a "busy" signal. Your phone will ring once, with Blocked Call showing on the screen. Hope this helps.

You might be thinking friends was blocked but it could have been on the incoming call list [100 calls saved] you can remove them anytime This is not the same as Blacklist.I am having same trouble now. I called tech`s 1-786-221-5997 they said to turn off block all calls with no caller id info [step 6.0] I did this and it was no help. I`m still looking.Cleared all lists [inc,outgoing,blacklist] started from scratch and it is working fine

Yes. The instruction manual has easy to follow steps how to block single phone numbers, entire area codes, etc. Very easy to do. My phone used to ring 10 plus times per day. Now maybe one time. It is much quieter at home.

I do not use this feature much, but I believe it means you have to explicitly list all numbers you want blocked in the Call Block list in order to block them.

no it doesn't. But I bought a panasonic kx-tg6645b which has the option of blocking unknown callers and blocked ids.So between the two devices all my bases are covered.

Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, I think it automatically blocks calls from "UNKNOWN, PRIVATE" and you can allow certain numbers to get through if you want or keep them blocked. All numbers called to your phone will display but the blocked calls that you select will be displayed with "BLOCKED". I love the Digitone Call Blocker. You can program it several ways and is easy to do. I hope this helps.

Mr Marks is correct. Also, I don't know if the unit blocks Anonymous calls, so if the caller is blocking his own caller ID, the unit may block it by default. If this is the case, tell him to use the key combination to temporarily disable his own outgoing caller ID block when calling you. This way the unit will get the caller ID and if it is not in the block list the call will go through.

It doesn't work by storing blocked numbers. What it mainly blocks is calls where a human didn't dial the call. The call won't get through to your phone unless a human listens to your message and then presses 1 or 2. This has been 100% effective in stopping phone spam for me.

If your phone service has caller ID, the phone system will announce incoming calls through the speaker so you can screen incoming calls. You can also store phone numbers that you do not want to eceive and the phone system will block those calls after just one short ring. Very nice way to get rid of those telemarketing calls.

The call blocker unit rings just once...then it disconnects the blocked call. The phones however, do not ring at all.

While the number is showing you block it. It also will block numbers that you don't want blocked. I stopped using mine for that reason.

I know that call blocking is a part of my phone service package. I'm not sure if that really answers your question.
