How do I block those ANNOYING automated phone calls?

there is only one sure way to do it....get yourself a callerID manager (zapper)!!!

* Block anonymous numbers — lets you decide whether anonymous/unidentified, out of area, blocked, or private calls may ring your phone. Choose between allowing a message or ignoring with no answer.

* Invite or exclude callers — allows you to quickly create a list of “Invited” callers who may ring your phone or “Excluded” callers who may either be ignored without answering or directed to your voice mail or answering device, using the call history or by telephone keypad.

* Huge database — blocks up to 175 numbers, area codes, or prefixes.

* Voice mail/VoIP compatible — lets you route unanswered or blocked calls to voice mail; control calls over your Voice over IP Network using your analog connections.

* Large backlit Caller ID display — features large, easy-to-read characters in an illuminated display; flashing red light indicates when a new call has been received.

* Plus much more — get inbound and outbound call tracking; sleep, timer, and standby modes; “wildcard” feature.
