This thing works!!, April 24, 2009
I got this gizmo for my buddy and does it ever work!! The only pesky calls he gets now are when he is already on the phone(call waiting). The machine can't block in those conditions and nobody can really; but that allows the caller ID to come through so he knows who to turn into the Do NOT call registry for violating the law.
It also has a setting that will let the caller ID through, no matter who calls, but still block the calls; I've never heard the phone ring unless someone dials 1. You don't have to customize the call message unless you want to, the prerecorded one is fine, and is firm to mean business! This unit can be configured to allow the caller through to any one of three answering machine modes: on board, thru to your answering machine, thru to your voice mail; anyway you want it.
My brother now wants one of these too! It can save enough money on telephone company blocking to pay for itself in a year! I highly recommend this device for those of you who are flat fed up and about to explode over @&%# dang telemarketers!!!!!

BEST OF SHOW, September 2, 2009
The Telebouncer TB1000 by DASYm (now defunct) does not have the downsides of these competitors:
1) Telezapper; a) battery required b) must open unit to set switch c) annoying beep each time receiver is lifted.
2) Zep 100; a) you hear every call and must pick up to determine if you want the call, then press a button to send a stop call msg.
3) Call Block Computer (JFTD); a) must program all desired and undesired ph #'s b) caller ID only shows up on the device and not on your phones c) user guide has poor rating.
The Telebouncer TB1000 has 4 settings; 1) STANDBY - your phone disregards this machine. 2) TELEMARKETING - your phone does not ring. Sends your recorded msg to dial 1, 2, up to 3 with distinctive ring tones for desired person/fax. 3) DO NOT DISTURB - only pressing the # key will make your phone ring as your msg tells callers. 4) CALLER ID - just like telemarketing BUT your phone will ring once. Caller ID will appear on all phones. Caller will hear the options you recorded under telemarketing mode. Telemarketing calls will display "unknown" "out of area" etc. Recorded calls cannot get through.
Best machine I found. No downside. Works as advertised. Ops manual is thorough and installation and operation is so easy "a cave man could do it". If you can find one buy it.

Like He Said, "This Thing Works", August 2, 2009
It couldn't have been said any better.
This product will eliminate recorded Telemarketing calls, completely.
Recorded calls absolutely do not ring through.
The reason why is very simple: to get through to your answering machine,
a real person has to press 1. So you can basically turn off the ringer, and know what when you do receive a
message, it's probably someone you know.
There's a stern warning message that comes on ahead of your personal answering message
that sounds like it's being delivered by an older guy in overalls and a white T-shirt,
standing at the edge of his property, with a shotgun leaning against a tree, as you approach.
I love it.
Since times are hard right now, these companies can't afford to hire as many live callers, so it would appear
they've turned to a recorded model. This device is the first and last weapon you'll need, to protect your privacy against them.
