So… what is a Smart call blocker?

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.

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.

Move to Setup if you want to screen all unknown calls.
