You connect it to the phone line and it answers the calls and asks people who they are. At that point it lets the actual phone ring and then it tells you who is calling and do you want to accept the call or block?
Most spammers will not say who they are and just hang up.
Over time it builds up a whitelist of who to just let straight through
Its very simple

- the_gipsy 3y agoWow that's amazing! Does the iPhone have something like that?
- elboru 3y agoiOS 17 comes with a voicemail transcription feature. Not sure how useful that would be since I don't even remember when was the last time I got a voicemail, everyone just hangs and sends a WhatsApp message (if anything) at least in my country.
- jamie_ca 3y agoPhone -> Silence Unknown Callers is close, it'll only let callers in your contacts ring the phone, everyone else will be sent to voicemail (and still show up in call history so you can add them as a contact easily). https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT207099 https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT207099 Also looks like you can set up external apps to maintain block lists and filter based on that rather than your address book, but nothing that would act as a concierge to prompt callers.
