How Does the trueCall Nuisance Call Blocker Work?
Please watch the video below for information on how the trueCall Blocker works.
What Do the Star and Zap List Do?
Once trueCall has been connected to the home phone, the user creates their own personal "Star List", containing the numbers of people they wish to be connected to, and a "Zap List", containing the numbers of unwanted callers.
The trueCall Nuisance Call Blocker checks the numbers of all incoming calls. If the incoming caller is on the user's personal Star List, they are connected instantly. If the number is on the Zap List, trueCall answers the call itself and politely tells the caller that the user is not interested in the call and their home phone never rings! The user can also add a number to their Star List by simply pressing the star button at any time during a call.
What Happens If a Number Is Withheld or Unrecognised?
If the incoming number is not recognised or withheld, trueCall simply asks the caller who they are and then puts them on hold. The home phone then rings and trueCall tells the user who is calling. The user can then choose to accept the call, have trueCall take a message or 'Zap' the caller, declining the call and adding the number to the user's Zap List.
Will One Unit Work for Multiple Phones?
Yes, a single trueCall Nuisance Call Blocker Unit will work for all phones operating with the same phone number.
How Else Can I Manage My trueCall Unit?
You can optionally manage and control your unit online through your personal Internet Control Panel. This allows you to view a log of all your incoming and outgoing calls, edit your trusted callers list and change your configuration settings.
How Does the Blocker Work With Standard Telephones?

Will the trueCall Call Blocker work with my SMS/Text Message Phone?
