If you have a number blocked, will your phone ring one time?

It depends on 2 factors: 1) How you have it installed (parallel or series), and 2) the length of your BLACKLIST (e.g. how many numbers are in stored in your BLACKLIST). According to hqtelecom.com documentation, if connected in parallel (using a splitter), your existing phones may ring 1-2 times before the calls are disconnected. This is so because of the delay required by the Blocker to match the call to the BLACKLIST memory and send the disconnect signal to the CO (central office). Now, if you connect your existing phones in series (using the PHONE port on the blocker), it may not hear a ring in most calls. Also, as your BLACKLIST grows, due to the fact that the Blocker will require more time to match the call to the BLACKLIST numbers being blocked, you may hear 1-2 rings before the calls from blocked numbers are disconnected. Hope this helps.

As it turns out, this set allows me to block 30 callers. But I also get to block ANOTHER 30 on my original I had prior that was not part of this set....So if I get more than 60 callers that require blocking? No problem, in THAT case I will simply go without a telephone! :-)

yes. you can just put in the first few numbers and it will block. You can also set it so that the phone doesn't ring when they call. I love my call blocker!!

It's not suppose to block any number. When blocking any number you need to push black list to activate the blocking. You need to call the company for any technical information.

I have never experienced that event. However, I never got the machine to block numbers that were a nuisance. I found that having ID Caller on my phone to identify the caller. If it is someone/thing I do not know, I do not answer. Works every time!

Robert - You'l need to contact your service provider regarding call blocking features they may offer.

I' not exactly sure as the instructions are at my mother's house, but if I remember correctly, if no one answers after five rings, the device dials the next number. The person who is dialed must push the number 5 to accept the call. An answering machine can't do that so the next number will be dialed.

Yes. after a few seconds you will hear "this is an emergency call , please press (I forget the number). this way the machine knows you are not voice mail. If you don't answer or it goes to voice mail , it moves on to the second phone no. that you programmed

From my experience, I don't think so. Although, you can call block any number you want. If a blocked call comes in it rings once then stops. It will appear on the caller id as call blocked. I love this feature and have used many times. You only have to block the call once in the directory.

It's free and is built-in to phone. This is the greatest feature! Any call you've receive with a digit ID can be blocked. Once done, your phone will ring once if they call you again, then they're gone. The caller continues to hear the phone ring so no one is upset with a rejection notice of any kind. It's awesome.

Blocked calls on wired/corded phones only ring once; some cordless phone brands ring twice.

Yes, you do. The call blocker uses the caller ID to identify calls to reject or pass. Some call blockers use black listing to reject specific numbers. Some call blockers use white listing to pass only those numbers you wish to receive calls from. Some can do one or the other. Those that use white listing do a better job of blocking undesirable calls, but can sometimes be a pain when trying to receive calls from the doctor's office or the school. Probably more than you were interested in.

Yes. The instruction manual has easy to follow steps how to block single phone numbers, entire area codes, etc. Very easy to do. My phone used to ring 10 plus times per day. Now maybe one time. It is much quieter at home.

First off, you must have caller ID (CID) service from your phone carrier. If you receive repeated calls from anyone (i.e telemarketers) you can select this number with your handset and select "call block". Anytime this number tries to call you again it will only ring once on your handset and "busy out" the offending caller. I have received calls which have left no message on the answering machine but sometimes call two to three times a day.(or more) This feature blocks all those unwanted and annoying calls.

It is set up the same way that any caller Id is. The only fantastic feature is that you get to press the reject/ block the number once it appears. and you will not have to hear a ring from that particular caller from that rejected/blocked number again -until you unblock it.

You will need 1 blocker because you have one incoming phone line. Good luck I hope it works for you.

The numbers can be blocked individually if they present a caller ID else all calls without a caller ID can be blocked.
