Why Choose trueCall?

If you're not convinced, here are just a couple more reasons why we love trueCall. There's no denying that unwanted calls are a nuisance. The only problem is that call blockers can seem a little impractical or confusing, even for more tech-savvy users. That's why trueCall Call Blockers are:

• Compatible with all phone lines: trueCall products work with all phone lines for your convenience. They also work with the majority of landline phones, including cordless DECT, cordless analogue and text message phones.

• Energy efficient: The trueCall products are Energy Star Certified, using less than 1% of the power of a standard light bulb. Additionally, trueCall's data is kept safely if it loses power, so you can continue making and receiving calls even if there is a power cut.

• Supplied with a voicemail system: Each device includes Message Manager, its own powerful voicemail system. If you have a separate answering machine, simply unplug it or switch off any answering facilities provided by your telephone.

• Easy to use: There are no special codes on any of the units, making them incredibly easy to use. The products have very few buttons and coloured lights to show whether the phone is on call, busy, or ready for use. See below for visuals.
