call blocker

The sell is "Hard Sell". Too much! And the sellers are doing the same thing that these calls do:frightening people. We do have the blocker and like it a lot. But, slow your roll people!

I assume you need caller ID through your phone vendor in order to use this CPR blocker. Is that correct?

I have a Panasonic phone which has a Call Block feature. I don't anwer any strange numbers but I do go to 411.com to check the number which identifies whether or not it's low or high risk spam. I then decide whether to enter the number on call block. The next time they call it rings once and appears on caller ID as "call blocked".

Our phone has a call block feature also but it has a limit of 1500 numbers and it does get filled up from time to time. I want to try this unit so that at at least we don't have to manually block a lot of them.

My Panasonic system has a limited number of call block spaces (I'm thinking maybe 250?). But when it gets full, I just delete them all and start over, since it takes a really long time to get to 250 for me.

I have one from last year bought at QVC. Don't want to have to buy another one. I was wondering why some numbers only show three digits and not the entire number? Do they set it up that way so you cannot block them? I'm glad I did get this item.

I'm assuming this is being sold here, and that's what the OP is about (?).

I almost bought a separate call blocker unit one time and found that I didn't do proper research because it would not have worked for me. But I do have phones with a 'block' button, so that is good, as every one has it.

Anyway, the thing people need to make sure they know that the call blocker unit has to be hooked up to their MAIN phone unit. In my case, that is upstairs in my old office, hooked up to my modem and router. For that reason it would have been profoundly inconvenient to use, as I'm downstairs near one of the other handsets 99.9% of the time now, and I would have had to run to the back of the house (not a small house), and then up the stairs and to the other side of a huge room. By then it would have been too late. Plus, due to injuries I can't actually 'run' anyway and it takes me a minute or so to get up the stairs.

Just make sure you know if this would work for you or if it would be more practical to just get phone handsets, as mentioned by others, that have a block button right on them.

I have the square black call blocker and it works well. However, if a call comes in and I answer it and then press "Block Now", it shows as "Successful" for blocking the number but does not disconnect the call. On television it looks like the call is actually being disconnected when the red "Block" button is pressed. Anyone else notice this? Otherwise, it is a great product. Would like to know if anyone else has noticed this.
