CPR V10000 – Whitelist Call Blocker. Landline Phone Call Blocker. Dual Mode Protection. Pre-Loaded with 10,000 Known Robocall Scam Numbers - Spam Call Blocker for Home Phones (Black (Renewed))

Simple and Short: This device works great. After set-up, programming a few numbers in and we have silence in the house from all the solicitors and unwanted callers. If you are like me, and can't stand all these types of calls, this is the device for you.Longer: After registering with the Do Not Call Registry, the unsolicited calls came in more than ever! You know them all. The last straw was one day, we got 9 robo calls from the same number in the same day.We have a Panasonic Dect 6.0 and phone service provided via cable company (voip). The phone had 30 slots for entering blocked numbers and that worked well. But, it ran out of space and the phone rang once, even for blocked numbers. About once per month, I would have to free up more space by deleting some blocked numbers. Frustrating to manage.We tried an expensive phone blocker a year ago, but it just would not work for us. Then after the 9 robo calls, I found this one on Amazon and read the reviews. Like you, I read a bunch of the reviews to see if this would this work....it was made in the UK....would it work on US phones....what about a VOIP system....would my caller ID work on it? But seeing that the company rep answered many of these questions and complaints in the reviews, we made the buy decision.Like most men, I thought I could just hook it up without reading instructions. Wrong. I had the lines mixed and it would not work. Read the directions and fixed that. Read further and entered some numbers to block and stopped the anonymous callers. When doing this, you get a few beeps and you don't know if it worked. And once plugged in, there is no light on it....it looks dead....but it is not. So, I was a bit skeptical, at first.From the first day, we noticed almost no incoming solicitor/unwanted calls (maybe blocked from one of those pre-programmed spam numbers). Family calls, work, etc. all came through...no problem. One day I got a call from "697" number. It rang thru, but I hit the Block Now button and gone. Never got another call from that number.Also, for the first few days, a number I entered to block with a 512 area code came thru (caught by the Dect phone blocker, however). I re-entered the number again to make sure that I entered it correctly. Now, nothing from this number comes through to the phone.Nothing appears on my phone call log. The only way I know this device is working is that our cable provider gives us a caller ID on the TV screen when someone calls (while we are watching TV). Saw that famous 512 number on the TV screen, no ring and nothing on call log. Last night, it called four times. No nothing on a ring.....Bam!Some of our local spam callers, change up the numbers to try to outwit call a blocker. But, I know i can just hit the Block Now button and gone.This device works as advertised. When you have it hooked up, as I said above, it looks dead (e.g. no lights on)....but it is active and working.As others had indicated, we now have silence in the home from these unwanted calls. I check the phone call logs and don't even see these numbers listed.It works!

I gave the CPR Callblocker a low rating because it did not perform blocking for our landline. I repeatedly attempted, over almost 3 weeks, to block nuisance calls by entering # 2 on the handset while the phone is in the answered mode. Pressing the “Block Now” button on the blocker is not an option because the Vtech phone base is not conveniently located in our residence. I used the “in line” setup on my Vtech digital telephone (per the manual). Each time a nuisance call came in I would press the “answer” button on the handset, then enter “# 2” (supposedly equivalent to hitting the “Block Now” button) and then end the call. I would then check to see if the number I just tried to block was stored in the blocked number list in the blocker – it always was in one of the 4 possible versions (see following).In many cases after I received another call from the same nuisance number I would then manually enter the 3 additional phone number versions for this callerID making a total of 4 versions of the nuisance phone number. For example:* * 7 # (beep) 718-395-1874 # (beep)* * 7 # (beep) 1 718-395-1874 # (beep)* * 7 # (beep) 01 718-395-1874 # (beep)* * 7 # (beep) 001 718-395-1874 # (beep)This method was suggested on the CPR web site and also by the CPR technical consultant with whom I corresponded. Its purpose was to cover all possible versions of the phone number.I was then told that when using the # 2 or “Block Now” methods the phone had to be answered first and the callerID information had to be displayed on the handset. On our Vtech handset the callerID information disappeared when the phone was answered and was replaced by an elapsed time indicator while the phone was in the answered mode. However, the callblocker did add the number to the blocked number list (I checked each number). I continued to get calls from several numbers already in the callblocker’s blocked number list, most of the numbers I had manually entered all 4 versions (see example above).As a final test I had my wife call our landline Vtech phone with my cellular phone. I used the same # 2 technique on the Vtech handset to block my cellular’s callerID. At this point my cellular phone should have been blocked by the callblocker. It was not. I could still successfully call my landline using my cellular phone so it appears the callblocker was not blocking calls for whatever reason(s). This would explain why I continued to get calls from numbers I thought I had previously blocked.The v.108 CPR Callblocker is a very straight forward electronic device. All it requires is plugging the main phone cable into one side of the callblocker and plugging a short cable (supplied with the callblocker) between the other side of the callblocker and into the phone. If the 2 lights glow when the dial tone sounds that means the unit was installed correctly (mine lit up immediately). That’s a very easy and straight forward installation. The unit should then function “stand alone” without any extra attention required other than inserting the nuisance phone numbers using multiple methods described in the manual and online. I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to get it to work for almost 3 weeks. That seems to be long enough evaluate an electronic device that is supposed to be very simple to set up (true) and very simple to use (not true). Since it isn’t working for me for whatever reason (maybe incompatibility with my Vtech phone or my CenturyLink phone service). It could also be a defective unit even though it seems to be performing some of the functions indicating it’s working.Finally, on the plus side, the CPR customer service technical support person was extremely supportive and always emailed me back within 24 hours after each question. You don’t see that kind of excellent product support very often!I have returned the v.108 CPR Callblocker to Amazon for a refund.

6/4/14- I have this device for over a week, all calls still blocked. I disconnected this past weekday. No calls. I am wondering if these telemarketers get an alert on their end that their calls are being blocked? Because even now with my disconnecting it for a few days, there have been no calls from all the numbers and area codes I blocked. This device is amazing. I'll reconnect it again but just wanted to hook back my regular phone service without CPR. There is such a peace of mind in my house knowing that around supper time, there no longer calls coming in.5/28/14 This is small rectangular shaped - very very very easy to hook up - no battery - uses phone line. You can block one number, many numbers and you can block by area code too. A few ruthless pigs that call 3 times a week, say this is your last and final call, but continue to call from area code 773. I blocked the entire area code - also had 20 calls on my caller ID from previous ruthless ignorant pigs. I blocked all the numbers and some area codes too. Get this small unit - its so so great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a jif to activate and easy to hook up - less than 5 minutes. There is a small instruction booklet showing you how to block calls - SUPER SUPER easy to do. Its supper time here in Tampa - 5:30p. Usually when I walk in the door at 4P - the calls start. Well NOT today -LOL - they are all blocked and have not received ONE nuisance call yet. This is THE perfect solution to the government do not call. The gov. does NOTHING with the numbers we register that violate our no call request. This is a KEEPER - so glad I bought it. Get it !!!!!!!!!!! John.

The manual came with a coffee ring stain and the page with the optional feature codes seemed to be stained with dried food or coffee. The device has no serial number (apparently registration just collects your contact information which is also a bit sus) and the optional features of blocking foreign calls, unknown calls, private calls and/or VOIP calls are of marginal benefit especially as more people abandon actual land lines for inexpensive VOIP lines. The blocking foreign, unknown, private, and/or VOIP would be useful if you could have an allow list specifically for the numbers blocked by these options but it seems as if the allow list is for when the device is set to block all numbers except for those in the allow list. There does not seem to be a way to update the preloaded database of 10,000 common spam/scam numbers so it's probably already way out of date. With the spammers and scammers often randomly generating their caller id's, such a device is probably of marginal use but it's better than nothing and allows you to block more numbers than your cordless phone and phone service normally allows and will block the first ring or two while it sorts out whether or not to block (phone providers in Canada are already required by law to block the most common known spam/scam numbers but the VOIP providers will always let the first ring through. The device does not have a power jack, it apparently uses line power from the phone lines themselves. The default "block mode" is basically blacklist security where all calls except thoseexplicitly blocked are allowed whereas the optional "allow mode" is the whitelist security where all calls are blocked except where explicitly allowed. There is no way to enter patterns such as area codes and or prefix and there's no way to block toll numbers from calling in. There's simply a lot more that could've been done despite how futile using the voluntary sender provided caller id for security. I think it will help a little but only just a little with the most benefit being to block the first ring from the VOIP provider while they sort out the number through their spam/scam database which we already know doesn't stop all the spam/scam calls and of course being able to enter 2,000 more numbers to block in our feeble attempts to do something however useless about the frustratingly common spam/scam calls. I guess, the alternative is to pay your phone provider for the premium subscription with their more updated unwanted caller databases rather than just the federally mandated minimal protection they are required to give you (Canada requires that at least something be done to prevent unwanted calls to all customers but there's really no standard as to what's sufficient but I have seen a few calls blocked by the VOIP provider as the phone rings once and displays "Checking" before hanging up).The blocking device also has two other jacks labeled "Line 1" and "Phone 1" as opposed to the "Line" and "Phone" jacks that you use, the manual does not say what they are for but one guess would be to support a second line.Oh, and it looks like a real cheap piece of plastic.

Easy to set up and program. A perfect solution to annoying fraud calls.

Acheté à 71,99€, je dois dire que je suis extrêmement satisfait de cet achat.Sa capacité à bloquer les appels indésirables d’une seule touche est tout simplement exceptionnelle. Cela m’a permis de me débarrasser d’une grande partie des appels indésirables et de préserver ma tranquillité.Vous trouverez facilement sur internet sa notice en français qui propose plusieurs astuces de paramétrages. J’ai apprécié le fait de pouvoir mettre un message automatique en anglais qui informe la personne qui appelle que son numéro est bloqué par le système.J’utilise son mode par défaut “Bloquer”. Cela signifie que si le numéro est dans la liste noire ou dans une liste prédéfinie, il sera bloqué. Je ne voulais pas utiliser le mode liste blanche car cela signifierait qu’il faudrait entrer un à un tous les numéros autorisés à appeler.Si un numéro passe entre les mailles du filet, le téléphone sonnera, mais vous aurez la possibilité de le bloquer pendant l’appel en appuyant sur le gros bouton “Block now”.Voici une petite liste de code de blocage intéressante à rentrer (écris dans la notice web)⬇Procédure:Décrochez le combiné téléphonique. Quand vous entendez la tonalité d’invitation à numéroter,veuillez insérer le ou les codes qui vous voulez appliquer. Vous entendrez un "bip" après chaque # pourconfirmer que le code est enregistré. Vous entendrez plusieurs "bips" si le code a déjà été enregistré.Bloquer tous les appels masqués/ privés✔Pour activer: * * 7 # (bip) 7 * # (bip)❌Pour désactiver: * * 6 # (bip) 7 * # (bip)Bloquer tous les appels internationaux/hors-zone✔Pour activer: * * 7 # (bip) * # (bip)Pour désactiver: * * 6 # (bip) * # (bip)Bloquer tous les appels inconnus✔Pour activer: * * 7 # (bip) # (bip)❌Pour désactiver: * * 6 # (bip) # (bip)Bloquer tous les numéros internationaux avec préfixes 00 (Entré 01 pour bloquer les préfixes 01 etc..)✔Pour activer: * * 7 # (bip) 0 0 # (bip)❌Pour désactiver: ** 6 # (bip) 0 0 # (bip)Bloquer tous les appelants VOIP (voix sur IP)✔Pour activer: * * 7 # (bip) 6 * # (bip)❌Pour désactiver: * * 6 # (bip) 6 * # (bip)Activer un message vocal d’information qui sera envoyé aux numéros bloqués✔Pour activer: * * 0 # (bip) *1# (bip)❌Pour désactiver: * * 0 # (bip) *0# (bip)Je recommande ce produit !

I bought this for my mum who was being plagued by cold calls, added all her friends into the system and we run it off the allow list system. Cold calls have totally stopped, would buy again.

gutes teil muss ich leider oft benutzen
