@shell garden Yes!  I do love it.  It's so simple!  It's so irritating to be somewhere and (even though it calls out the phone number) you still go to answer it.  Now in just two rings (I think that's it), it stops!  I love it.

 

I went on HSN to find out about for others, but they'd sold out.  I'm sure store sell it.  I posted the name of it so others could get it somewhere else.  I'm all about simple.  I think it's so dangerous when a cell phone rings because I have daughters in other states.  I always worry about them.  It comes up on my car and I don't answer it, but when I can (parked) I am able to block that number on my cell phone.  I think people don't realize you can use the phone (I have an IPHONE 6) to block out numbers.  We 'old timers' are making technology work for us.....heh! heh!.


@Annabellethecat66, if you don't want blocked numbers to ring at all:

 

Press Call Block

Scroll down to "One ring for blocked call" and SELECT

Scroll to No and SAVE

 

If the blocked number calls again your phone will not ring even once.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

Re: My Phone That Blocks Out Robo Calls Is Working Overtime

I was able to sign up for nomorobo for free with my phone service so there wasn't any need to purchase an additional phone.  I absolutely agree, this is the best service to use in blocking all those annoying calls.  It rings once, and then it's disconnected, so I know that it was another annoying call that I was able to block.  It doesn't take long after you sign up for it to work, I only wish I had known about this before.  No more blank messages on my answering machine, and no more running to get the phone to find another telemarketer trying to sell me solar panels!

Re: My Phone That Blocks Out Robo Calls Is Working Overtime

I've had that same Panasonic phone for several months now, and I love it! And yes, I do love the color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is my 3rd Panasonic system!!!!!  Not because they don't last, but because I'm somewhat of a "sucker" for new features!!!  The call block feature is the main reason I bought this, though the beautiful color added to my decision.  That price is so reasonable for all that you get!  Love my Panasonic phones!!!!

@Annabellethecat66...I bought the same phone from HSN...and love it so much, I bought a backup...well, if I need a new one in about 8-10 years, that is how long my last phone lasted!

 

Anyway...don't you love it and the color???  Champagne and white and a great deal!  I recommended it to SHOWME (a poster here) and she purchased one too!

 

Get ready...calls are coming in...at least until after the election, lol!


@shell garden

 

Glad I saw your post today.  Wanted to thank you for recommending this phone system. 

 

I took a week or so to get up the nerve to plug it all in (very easy) and set it up.  It was a lot like my OLD system (also a Panasonic), but BETTER.

 

LOVE the call blocker so much.  NO RING, but I see the phone light up and know a call is being blocked.

 

I'm contemplating a "back up" purchase, but I cannot imagine the system wearing out for years.  By then, there might be something better.

 

Anyway, thanks for being the pioneer and purchasing this so the rest of us can benefit.

 

Very easy to set up and use!

@Annabellethecat66,

I am really interested in this phone. But I have a hand disability and I am limited to certain size handsets. Could you please give me the dimensions of the handset (the cordless one)? I'm mostly concerned with the width and depth (thickness). TIASmiley Happy

@Witchy Woman......YOU ARE SO WELCOME!!!!  Yep, about 6 months ago, SHOWME was looking for a phone and I told her about this one I had just purchased!  We talked about it on her Mr Lucky thread and she got one too!

 

To tell you the truth....I loved the color so much on this phone, that is why I ordered another set to put up!  The majority of phones are silver, black....and I was tired of those same ole colors! Panasonic to do this system in champagne and white...BRILLANT!  I was also afraid they may not do these colors again!  I am so glad you purchased this set!  Great deal, IMO.

@SilleeMee....I think this is a light enough weight on the phone, as well as a nice size handset to where you would be comfortable using this system!  The handset is approximately 2 inches wide and a little over 6&1/2" long!  The weight of the handset is 4.8 ounces!  More details are listed under the item number at HSN!  Hope this helps, but I think you will love it!

Re: My Phone That Blocks Out Robo Calls Is Working Overtime

Thanks @shell gardenSmiley Happy Do you know how thick the handsets are? I know they are not flat like a cellphone. But if they are thicker than an inch, I will not be able to hold them. Thanks.

@SilleeMeeThe thickness, I just measured two different ways!  From the front, left to right, it is 1&3/4 inches!  If I measure from the side to the back....at the widest point...it is not quite an inch!  I hope this helps, but holding it in my hand, I think you could very well handle this!
