What’s a Smart Call Blocker?

This system lets you block nuisance callers on the spot with one touch. What’s more, it can filter robocalls and unwanted call while allowing welcome calls to get through. For screen out robocalls, set it to ask the callers to press the pound key. For screen out unknown callers, set it to ask the callers to record their names and press the pound key. After your caller completes the request, the phone rings and announces the caller’s name. You then can choose to block or answer the call, or forward the call to the answering system.

Never forget whose number is whose

Program eight frequently dialed phone numbers and attach a photo to each one for convenient speed dialing.

Setting up your system just got easier

Talking prompts walk you through the setup of your new phone’s digital answering system, so you can be confident it’s ready to record. Digitally record up to 22 minutes of incoming messages, outgoing announcements, and memos. The system also allows for slow playback, selective save or delete, and skipping or repeating messages from the handset and base, and remote access to listen to messages.

Easy to use

The large orange lighted display is designed for easy reading even in darker places. The buttons are generous in size measured to 15 x 12 mm, and placed with a 3 mm gap in between, easy for the elderly fingers to target and press. You can choose whether the digits are to be announced whenever you press the number keys. Another level of insurance to help the elderly to dial out the correct number, further reduce the chance of miss-dialing.

Volume control made easy
