I use the Smart feature for blocking robocalls (there are multiple "smart features' from which to choose). It works like this: For robocalls, the caller is required to enter "#" for the call to go through. A robocaller cannot do that; hence, we have reduced robocalls to zero. Nada. Zilch. Another terrific feature of the smart system is that incoming calls first pass through the smart filter BEFORE the telephone rings (a yellow light flashes, but no sound). A a result, not only are there no longer robocalls, there is no ring when these obnoxious beings attempt their dirty work.

The Smart call blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks/screens calls from your unwelcome callers. Welcome calls are those calls whose numbers are saved in your allow list, directory and star name list. Unwelcome calls are those numbers whose numbers are not stored in the above mentioned. You can set the unknown calls to allow, block, or screen these calls (caller needs to press # or say their name before the calls goes through), or forward these calls to the answering system. The smart call blocker requires Caller ID subscription from your telephone service provider.
