no this item only keeps a record of all "OUTGOING*CALLS" AND "INCOMING CALLS" that's it.....so if someone in your office makes a call when you are not there...you will know when the call was made and what telephone number it was made to....

I don't think so. The unit I received was faulty but I never received a replacement or my money back.

It is supposed to recognize some numbers, but most need to be entered in manually. I think you can press a key and it will add the number. I sent mine back. It wouldn't block anything, even after I entered the numbers. I would not recommend this product.

It doesn't store blocked numbers. It works by silently answering all in coming calls and forcing those who call to enter the number one to let the phone ring. It works because all tele marketers use a computer to initiate a call which does not understand what the tele bouncer is asking and simply hangs up.

The unit has two phone jacks on the back. One is the wire coming from the wall into the unit. The other is from the unit into your phone. The unit receives the phone number that is calling. If it is one of your blocked numbers, the phone does not ring. If the number is not a blocked number, then the phone rings. If the call is the second case, you have the option of looking at the number on the screen, and pressing the blacklist button if you want to block that number from calling. The call will immediately stop if you do this.

You can manually enter the numbers using the 4 arrow keys (slow and painful, but works) or you can select from the recent Caller ID log and chose to add numbers to the lists. One problem with selecting from caller ID is sometimes, for example, Caller ID may show 1-555-555-5555 but in order to block you actually need 555-555-5555, which are not recognized as the same number. Not a big deal, but test to make sure.

Maybe it has to do with the phone service provider as to what format they use. I never set mine as it automatically set within a few minutes of being connected to the phone line. I am used to military time from work but if you are not just subtract 12 from whatever number is displayed, for example 17:03 would be 5:03 PM. I would love this device even if it did not have any time listed at all. Our junk calls have really decreased and I have blocked over 80 numbers so far. It is just wonderful. I don't even look to see who's calling until it rings twice.

The phone does not have a program to block numbers. However it does allow you to create Groups within your Contacts. If you create a group and name it "Blocked" you can then create a silent ringtone so phone calls do not bother you. The only problem is that the groups do not apply to text messages.

It doesn't block random numbers. To have a number blocked you must either enter the number into memory manually or select a number from the callers' ID list (so a number that has already called you.) Unlisted and private numbers can be blocked too. There are many combination possible, like blocking a whole area code or an exchange (like 123-XXXX - all numbers with a 123 exchange will be blocked) or narrowed down to 123-456X (meaning all numbers starting with 123-4560 to 123-4569 will be blocked. The combinations are endless.

I do not use this feature much, but I believe it means you have to explicitly list all numbers you want blocked in the Call Block list in order to block them.

I don't block individual numbers, It eats up the 80 slots. I block just the area codes because the same scum bags call from the same area code, same company with hundreds of different numbers. I also have a panasonic phone which gives me 30 more call blocks. It works fantastic and has given me back some sanity. I pray someday somebody will put this low life in prison for life. I have had my digitone for almost a year now and it works!

If your phone service has caller ID, the phone system will announce incoming calls through the speaker so you can screen incoming calls. You can also store phone numbers that you do not want to eceive and the phone system will block those calls after just one short ring. Very nice way to get rid of those telemarketing calls.

Yes. When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call. You can store up to 30 phone numbers in the call block list by using the caller list or by entering the numbers directly. You can also block unlimited calls with no number such as Out of Area and Private Number.

Yes, this model has a feature that when turned ON, it will block all incoming calls that have no caller id. That includes calls that show as "UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE", "-----------", etc. For more information on how to activate this feature, check item 6.0 in the manual: http://hqtelecom.com/TLock-Pro-CallBlocker-N2-UserManual.pdf.

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.

You just scroll to the number you want to block and confirm. There are a few clicks but no entries.

This model does not have a built-in "Caller ID" function to block calls. I utilized my telephone company's call blocking feature (up to 12 different telephone numbers) to 'defer' undesired calls, i.e., a recording stating that the number being accessed is not available to receive incoming calls.
