Screening announcements
If you have set to screen calls without
numbers and/or screen uncategorized
calls, the callers of one or all of the
following incoming call categories will
hear a screening announcement.
• Calls that are “out of area“ or with
numbers set to “Private“.
• Calls with numbers that are not on your
phonebook, allow list, or block list, or
with absent caller ID number.
• Calls with caller ID names that are not on
your star name list.
The telephone has two screening options,
and each option has its default screening
announcements.
Screening with caller name - “Hello. Calls
to this number are being screened by
Smart call blocker. Please say your name

by Smart call blocker. If you’re a family
