If I have this and I am not home and I miss new spam calls can I still block them after the fact or can I only block them live?

Once you add the numbers to the BLACKLIST they will be disconnected if they called in the future, even if you are not at home. If they call while you are away, later on you can scroll the list of incoming calls (last 100 calls are stored in the device), and press the BLACKLIST button to add them to the list of blocked numbers. I hope this is helpful. If you order from HQTELECOM, you can have access to our online documentation at http://hqtelecom.com/ -- where you can find an updated version of the manual, FAQs, Unknown issues, technical support, etc.

Yes, like any other Caller ID appliance, new calls are tagged as NEW until you scan through them. If you want to blacklist a specific number, while you are viewing the number in the list, just press "BLACKLIST". I will typically "Google" the phone number (in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx) and if it comes up in 800notes.com or similar reporting sites, I will usually blacklist the caller depending on the reports from others.

Yes, you can scroll through the list of received calls and block whichever number you desire when you need/want to do so.

Yes, you can enter numbers, area codes and prefixes manually. You can also wait for unwanted calls to ring and then press the BLACKLIST button to add them to the Blocked list. You can do that while the calls are ringing OR afterwards by browsing the list of incoming calls (stores the 100 most recent numbers). The BLACKLIST memory stores up to 1,500 numbers and 10 area codes.

Messages are left on your cell phone in that case. Only phone calls directly to you home phone number that are not answered are left on your home phone answering machine (assuming that you have "Answering On".

Yes. You can block individual numbers or entire area codes. You can even block all calls, then grant access on a number-by-number basis. I love it.

Yes you can. You can also delete or answer it if you want to. If you just listen, the call will remain as a new call for future reference. I love these phones.

Short answer, yes. The unit uses Caller ID to identify the calls you want to block.

I use OBi100 with my Google Voice account. Through my Google account I am able to blacklist or whitelist callers. Google voice can also be set to block calls and texts it identifies as spam.

Yes. If you press Menu and then enter #217, the list of block calls is viewable. You can then scroll thru to view, edit or delete.

Yes, you can put in only the prefix such as 800, 866, 877, etc and it will block all calls from these toll free numbers. The manual gives good instructions on how to do this.

I have to select "Blacklist" after the call if I want to block that one in the future. Sounds like you might have a defective unit.

This varies, as your phone service itself, if you have the call blocking option selected (usually a small extra charge) will allow 30 in my case, using the *60 option. If the phone base allows additional blocking then in theory, you could block up to 60 numbers. I will soon get to find out due to the high number of telemarketer calls.

Yes, but I think that phone number has to call you once so that you can store it as a blocked number. After that it will ring once and get disconnected. I don't know if you can add a number to your address book and then block it. Blocked numbers are limited to a total of 20 numbers, and 20 applies to all phones on the system. (It's not 20 per phone.)

Kathleen, I took some time tonight and checked out the system for the question you asked. The answer is Yes you can block fax's.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to block 30 calls from each phone. However, you will be able to block ALL calls that have no number, Private number, or say Out of Area if that's any consolation. You may also want to consider answering some of these calls and telling them to put you on their no call list. Under law, they are obliged to do so.

just put in the whole number with the star after. Or, after the call terminates hit the block button twice quickly. I love my call blocker.

I am not sure. I bought this for my grand son, and his mother allows him to bring it over so he can use the internet. I should think that you could block, or time them. There might be an app or two, that can do what you want. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

This will block those unwanted calls. Just follow the directions in the "How to use" booklet. I love this gadget. I can block up to 80 numbers and I find that after I block them they don't call back.
