I used to deal with telemarketers every day, often 2 to 3 times a day. These days my house is much more quiet and the phone calls that come in are actually friends and family looking for us and not telemarketers! I was on that Do NOT Call List which takes care of legal callers, but not the callers who call illegally. Since they don't call legally, asking them not to call again does nothing. Now they are blocked. Only thing I hate is there is a half to full ring before they number is blocked and discarded. Yet I learned to listen for a second ring.After having this for 2 years, I now am able to stay relaxed and listen for the second ring that signals me to sit up and look at the phone. I will say that some of these callers use multiple phone numbers to call you on and it might take awhile to get them all blocked, but once you do, many will stop calling.
Yes, the directions aren't good. But if you are even slightly able to figure out things in life, you will be able to figure out the directions. And I don't love that you have to use the phone to set up the box. I'd say set up took me around 15 min because of how confusing it kinda is. But I ended up just writing each and every step down correctly by their weird ones and the second one I set up took me only around 2 minutes. The arrow facing to your right is the back button, the arrow facing to your left is your forward button. It is backwards to most American's but it works all the same. Trial and error with the directions is all it took me.
It's nearly a race in my home to see who gets to hit block when a new marketer calls us. We all want to be the one to block and when a stupid call comes in. I've got to say that it is now our favorite gadget in the house, even better than cell phones and computers. Peace reigns from not being interrupted at dinners, and family time ever again.
If you have only one phone line with multiple numbers on it, you only need one box. If you have multiple lines with multiple numbers, than you need one for each line. I have two completely different telephone lines in my house, meaning each have their own phone number. Our second line is can only be accessed through it's phone jack and not other jacks in the house.. We have a business line and a personal line. I loved this call blocker so much that I bought 2! If I had more lines, I'd buy one for each one of those lines.
