announcement to the caller when
receiving the following incoming home
calls. It asks the caller to press the pound
key (#) before putting the call through

that are “out of area“ or with
numbers set to “Private“;
• Incoming home calls with absent
caller ID numbers;
• Incoming home calls with numbers
that are not in your phonebook,
allow list, nor block list; or
• Incoming home calls with names
that are not in your star name list.

names

telephone announces to the caller,
“Hello. Calls to this number are being
screened by Smart call blocker. If you’re
a family member, friend or invited caller,
please press pound to be connected. If
you’re a solicitor, please hang up now.”
After the caller presses the pound key
(#), the telephone announces to the
caller “Please wait a moment while your
call is connected.”
The telephone starts ringing, and
you can answer the call. This option is
suitable for you to filter calls that uses
autodialers to deliver prerecorded
messages, for example, robocalls and
telemarketing calls.
