Update on blocking unwanted calls

Hi,

After I had registered with TPS, I had a look at what phones were available with call blocking. Picked a BT 6500. Found a good deal on e-bay for just over half the cost that BT charged.

It has drastically cut down any nuisance calls. Other calls that come from 0800/0845 and the like now go on the blocked calls list. While the Interational, Withheld, No caller ID and Payphone get blocked by type.

It has suddenly become a lot quieter now.

Thanks to those of you that posted on my previous thread for pointing me in the right direction.

Regards Paul.
 
Quick question Paul, does that one have an intercom function as I've found that DECT phones often don't mention this but some do still include it. My old Panasonic is giving up the ghost but the Intercom feature on it I find to be quite handy.
 
Hi Mark,

The instructions I recieved are a bit spartan on all info. No mention of intercom in user guide.

Tried BT's site to download a full version, but it shunted me off to a russian web site and then I got very suspicious and pulled the plug on the download.

Regards Paul.

Hi Mark,

If you decide on this phone it's a BT 6500 Nuisance Call Blocker model.

The guide download worked fine this time.

Regards Paul.
 
Just to add that I bought the BT 4500 twin pack and it blocks calls like the 6500, has an intercom function and the Phone book automatically copies between phones. Its supposed to be a "senior" phone so has a great features like boosting the ear piece volume and playback of recorded messages at a slower speed.

We now get zero unwanted call.
 
My Gigasets have intercom and baby monitor functions, as well as various call blocking options, although strangely - one anonymous call made it through last week.
