What message will blocked callers receive?

They don't receive any message. On their end, the phone just continues to ring and never answers. The nice thing is that you don't hear it ring, but their called id does show up on our tv. (we have cable phone and all phone calls show up on the tv.)

It doesn't store blocked numbers. It works by silently answering all in coming calls and forcing those who call to enter the number one to let the phone ring. It works because all tele marketers use a computer to initiate a call which does not understand what the tele bouncer is asking and simply hangs up.

Just to clarify my previous response, my phone will ring once before the call is blocked.

No, the blocker will answer the phone, wait one second and hang up. There is no message returned to the caller.

Yes. The connection sequence is from the wall jack to the call blocker, then to the phone. In most cases, our phone doesn't even ring when a blocked call is received.

I was unable to make this item work at all for blocking calls. It was nothing more than a caller ID box to me so I returned it.

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

In my experience, having a single device for all phone extensions caused the phones to ring once, then the call was disconnected. Upon installing a device on each phone jack, none of them ring if it's a blocked number.

Gary,If your phone caller ID now says "blocked call" or "unavailable" this device has nothing to remember to block.It must have some numbers to put into its memory. It will block 000-000-0000 political callers! I proved that!

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.

As long as you have caller ID it will work. It receives the call and the display will show caller ID info. Then if you choose to block it, just touch 1 button, and they will be blocked forever, or until you unblock 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, this model has a feature that when turned ON, it will block all incoming calls that have no caller id. That includes calls that show as "UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE", "-----------", etc. For more information on how to activate this feature, check item 6.0 in the manual: http://hqtelecom.com/TLock-Pro-CallBlocker-N2-UserManual.pdf.

Not sure. I have another brand of cordless phones and a corded phone. Mine is connected to the corded phone and the cordless phones are on the same line in different rooms in the house, and 99% of the blocked calls never get through. There is that 1% that phone rings once. I have read comments previous comments where users with only cordless phones, received one ring and others stating only one phone rang. 99% of my blocked calls are blocked.

It blocks every number unless the number is placed in your "A" or "B" list. It still allows the caller to leave a voice mail message.

Yes. The number shows on the panel with a small symbol with a line through it which indicates the call was rejected. You can erase it, or not. What happens is the phone rings once, and then silence, so we always wait for the second ring and the computerized voice giving either the telephone number or the name of the caller before picking up the receiver, knowing the caller's number hasn't been blocked.

I so far have blocked about 20 from telemarketers and have no issues with it ringing once and hanging directly up on them. It has been a blessing as I have not gotten any more calls for the past month so I think they have gotten the hint.
