Customer Review: useful voice caller id and individual message response
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a necessary supplement to being on the do not call list, which doesn't block charities or political organizations, which are just telemarketers in my mind. I did have Cox phone call blocking for $2/month for a while. It did block up to 30 phone numbers completely (you never hear them ring) but it worked very poorly and was a real pain to use unless you were blocking the very last caller.
The ClassCo only says the phone number for each caller until you provide a name in your own voice. It does identify "blocked"(private) and "unknown"(anonymous) by name, which have no phone number display, which are always telemarketer calls. Unfortunately, you can't override the name or set an automatic response message for blocked and unknown calls. All other calls can be given a name and your own automatic response message at the same time. It does answer before my answering machine kicks in with my general greeting. I keep a piece of paper with the four step process handy by the phone. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but well worth it in the long run. Many junk callers will call in on four or more different numbers, which you can block by reusing the same name and message you recorded the first time. The message isn't the same as a block because it still rings four times on my phone and you won't hear your own message unless you pick up the phone. The sound quality on the unit is poor. I put a strong inflection in my recorded name so I can identify the caller even from another room, but I do have to listen carefully once I've heard that first ring to warn me. The caller id works well, so you can attach the device to an old fashioned phone with high voice quality.
I haven't had any problems with the device itself in seven months, so it does seem to be better quality than some reviewers have indicated. I'll report back with an update if I do have any problems but I'd probably have to get another unit because I don't think I can live without the voice caller id now.
