CPR Call Blocker for Landline Phones V108 - 1000 Number Blocking - 200 Pre Programmed - Block All Unwanted Calls At The Touch Of A Button

I purchased this CPR call blocker to help stop the phone ringing 10-20 a day and seven days a week, and because this was recommended repeatedly in my extensive research online for a reliable spam-call solution, AND because of the many positive 5 Star reviews posted here on Amazon!(***I strongly recommend you read reviews with 3 stars or less to get a more realistic view on the quality of this product.)I can see why there are so many positive (5 star) reviews, people are writing them way too quickly, too soon to see how this will actually work in the longrun and in real life situations. I have used this piece of junk for several weeks now, and I can only tell you that this gadget doesn't work past a few initial days.The first week or so it worked perfectly,**( I used another brand blocker before this one. See below.) it blocked many calls on it's own and responded to my hitting the red button or using #2. But then I kept losing my line without me realizing I had a dead phone line. I am disabled and landline is my only connection to the outside world and if I have an emergency. So no, this was not acceptable!These are what I experienced after a week and are ongoing problems:~The red button would stay lit for no reason.~Red button would not light up when the phone line was engaged.~Numbers I blocked using #2 would not be recorded on the block list.~Phone line connection simply cut, NO LINE~There is no help available from the company! I can't tell you how many times I have tried by calling, searching for help online, nobody answers the phone. Customer service, support, nobody answers phone at CPR!I have tried for three weeks now to fix the problems which keep happening almost daily. ~I disconnected the blocker from the phone line, ~using the second option for phone line connection to blocker, ~reset it to factory setup, ~purchased, and replaced all phone cords a new short connection cable, added a gadget u use to lengthen the phone line. ~~ These are all temporary fixes, and I have to do this almost every day. I keep doing this because I spent the better part of half a year working to remove my phone number from being easily available, to have peace from spam and crack phone calls. If I stop now this fixing so I can keep blocking, it won't be but a couple of weeks before the phone will be again ringing off the hook, before my phone number will be traded as available and possibly sold on the web. All it takes is for me allowing all calls coming through, whether I answer or not, just because calls are allowed through. So yes I will keep fixing this piece of junk, and would you believe I paid $135. !!! for this !!!Since my phone base is right next to my bed I have easy access if I need to fix it. The craziest thing though, is that it disconnects my phone line mostly over night when there are no incoming calls. Invariably I will find my phone dead first thing in the morning, or the red button is lit and remains lit, during that time no calls are blocked. Problems remain almost daily and at different times. I have to keep unplugging the phone line and reconnecting, sometimes a couple of times a day. By the way, I have my answering machine always on, and I noticed that the blocker will disconnect after my machine answered, but no message was left. I also have to keep checking periodically to make sure I have not lost my phone line. Dreading the message: No Line.**This is not my first call blocker. The one before this one was one that came with 2000 calls preloadec/blocked automatically, and I could add more numbers myself. This unit (by dif. Company) worked for me for nearly a year. Then it stopped working, I believe that I had used up all the space available to record the numbers I added/blocked using #2. So I bought this because it has 10000 pre-loaded spam numbers, and I was hoping would have plenty of room for numbers I would load. This blocker has been a problem from day one, and no, it's not my equipment that is causing problems.WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS CPR CALL BLOCKER?? NO! NO! And double NO!

Though both my wife and I have cellular phones, we have a primary landline through AT&T. Our home is fairly large so in addition to the main hard wired telephone (for use during a power outage) we have an additional 8 wireless phones along with an answering machine. We have had the same landline telephone number for a bit over 20 years.The Federal Do Not Call Registry was great while it lasted. But today it appears to be a waste of time even bothering to list your number.Like many others, we were constantly annoyed by the nuisance telemarketers, requests for political and "charitable" contributions, surveys, polls, etc. On average we would receive 4 to 6 nuisance calls a day. So when the phone rang, either my wife or I would have to put on the reading glasses to view the caller ID to decide whether to answer the phone or not. The really annoying part was to stop what we were doing (like exercising, cooking, working on a home project, not having our reading glasses handy, etc.)My 91 year old mother that lives out of state usually calls 2 or 3 times a day. She gets a little lonely living by herself. I enjoy her calls. My wife is close to her sister whom also lives out of state along with daily calls from my wife's or my friends. So simply letting incoming calls go to voicemail is not a practical option and neither of us care to walk around the house with our cell phones glued to our hips.If we recognized the phone number as an out of state telemarketer, we would let the call go to the answering machine. But that got to be annoying to listen to the phone ringing 4 times and hearing the prerecorded answer message played out only to be followed by silence after which the machine would answer back with a "Thank You For Your Call".Day after day we had these nuisance calls. We tried answering some calls, listening to the long prerecorded message which might end with a "Touch 5 to have your number removed from our list". That didn't work, just a waste of time as our number never got removed and the calls continued unabated.We tried answering some calls and hit 1 to speak to a live representative. As soon as we asked to have our number removed, the live representative would hang up and we continued to receive calls from the same number or company day after day.So I tried many of the suggestions I found on the internet that would supposedly help reduce the volume of calls. For instance answer the phone and hit the star and pound keys followed by a hang up hoping that would fool the automatic dialers into thinking it had phoned a computer or Fax machine and bounce our number out of the system. That didn't work.I tried the "hit 1 for a live representative" then when someone answered, I put them on hold. That didn't work. Heck, sometimes if we tried to hit 1, we would get disconnected since a representative wasn't available.The final insult was when my wife asked the live representative "how can we get removed from your call list?" and the person replied "Have your phone line disconnected".So I searched the internet and found this device. I read the reviews and ordered it. Since the unit is shipped from the UK, I spent the extra few dollars for expedited delivery. I received it within a week of placing the order.The unit I received is the V.106 International model. Connecting it was a breeze. Though a little tricky at first, I used the provided preset blocking codes to block all "out of area/international calls", all "IP dialing systems which include Skype and other overseas nuisance call centers", all type "0 or single digit spoof calls", and all "private/unknown callers".Then I went through the past caller list stored in the phone memory and blocked all of those previous nusance calls.We saw an immedite drop in the number of nuisance calls getting through. As new ones came in we would simply cut them off and bock the number by hitting the button located on the top of the device. Or, if we weren't close to it, we would let the call go to the answering machine then use the "block last call" or review the caller ID list and block the number that way.In the few weeks we have had it, those nuisance calls have dropped dramatically. This device works great.It seems that once this device disconnects the call so quickly our number gets removed from their list. I can suspect that numerous telemarketing companies might use a common computerised database so when one telemarketer has their call immediately disonnected, our number then gets removed from a common or shared database. After only a couple weeks, we seemed to have been dropped by many telemarketers to the point we don't even hear one "single ringer" over a day or multple days. We are not quite to the point of not looking at the caller ID before answering but I expect it won't be much longer until we don't bother to reach for those reading glasses.A couple things worth noting. When a call comes in from a blocked number, the phone does ring once while the caller ID is beng sent to the device. The device then immediately disconnects the incoming call. The call is disconnected so quickly after the device receives the caller ID, the incoming call is never logged by our phones.Personally, we like to hear that single ring of the phone. It tells us the device has just blocked a nuisance call and we can chuckle about it knowing the device is giving us our money's worth.If you are tired and frustrated by nuisance calls, this is the device you want!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could:)

Información actualizada (Martes 10 de Noviembre de 2020):He tenido que quitarle otra estrella al CPR V10000 Call Blocker ya que tiene un fallo o error en el software o incluso podría ser ser del hardware ya que funciona correctamente los 2 o 3 primeros días después de haberlo conectado del conector RJ11 del router, y lo sé porque se ve en la pantalla display el cambio de forma al colgar y al descolgar además de que bloquea las llamadas de la lista negra (o lista de números de teléfono bloqueados), pero después pasado ese tiempo de 2 o 3 días la pantalla display se queda congelada o bloqueada, y además, ya empieza a dar problemas el teléfono, lo que no sé en este caso si bloquea los números de teléfono o no de la lista negra (o lista de números de teléfono bloqueados), pero bueno, ya con esos problemas que salen son suficientes, y con ello por desgracia es como le he quitado esa otra estrella al producto, pasando de 4 estrellas a 3 estrellas.No he querido quitarle más estrellas porque me parecería injusto ya que compré otras versiones del CPR Call Blocker anteriores y funcionaban correctamente y son bastante buenos bloqueando (hubo uno que tuvo la pantalla defectuosa porque salía demasiado clara [como si la circuitería de la pantalla no estuviera bien soldada o algo así más o menos], pero bueno, alguna vez puede tocar a lo mejor de muchos productos 1 defectuoso, así que no quise valorarlo, y bueno, delvolví ese y compré otro igual y ese sí funciona perfectamente bien, así que quedó todo bien), pero evidentemente lo considero un fallo o error grave porque te deja inoperativo el teléfono pasados 2 o 3 días haciendo que hay una llamada importante que tenga que entrar no entre por culpa de este tipo de fallos, de verdad, lo siento, pero tengo que dejarlo a 3 estrellas en esta ocasión (evidentemente anteriormente ya se contó la otra anterior estrella quitada lo de ese funcionamiento no del todo lógico de la lista blanca [o lista de números de teléfono permitidos], así que esa parte ya no hay quitarle más estrellas porque ya esa estrella se la quité la otra vez).Por cierto, está muy duro poner y quitar lo de los agarres de los cables telefónicos de entrada y salida, a mí me ha costado mucho trabajo quitarlos de ahí, debería CPR Distribution hacerlos de alguna forma que no cuesten tanto trabajo poner y quitar los cables telefónicos de entrada y salida de esos agarres (no lo puntúo porque lo veo que un fallo menor).Información anterior inicial (Domingo 1 de Noviembre de 2020):Yo siempre he comprado varios bloqueadores de llamadas de la marca CPR Distribution, entre ellos el CPR V202 Call Blocker, el CPR V5000 Call Blocker, etc., y la verdad que van bastante bien y bloquea todo tipo de llamadas molestas, incluyendo este último que he comprado que es el CPR V10000 Call Blocker ya que su función de bloqueo también lo hace bastante bien, luego la calidad de estos bloqueadores de llamadas de la marca CPR Distribution es buenísima, ahora, por desgracia esta vez tengo que ponerle en este modelo en concreto (CPR V10000 Call Blocker) 4 estrellas porque me ha decepcionado la lista blanca (o lista de números de teléfono permitidos) ya que se supone que si agregas un rango en la lista negra, y voy a poner un número de teléfono ficticio o falso para el ejemplo que sería el 123456789, y bueno, en este caso el rango sería números de teléfono que empiecen por 123, eso sí, sin agregar todavía dicho rango a la lista negra porque no dejaría después agregar el número de teléfono 123456789 ya que el rango del 123 lo incluye, pues si agregas en la lista negra el número de teléfono 123456789 y después lo pasas a la lista blanca (es la única manera de hacerlo, no se puede pasar directamente a la lista blanca) y por último agregas el rango del 123, pues si llama alguien con el número de teléfono 123456789, dicho número de teléfono lo bloquea igualmente por el rango del 123, y ojo, teniendo en la lista blanca el número de teléfono 123456789, luego ese número de teléfono permitido no entraría nunca la llamada, y claro, la lista blanca es una lista de exclusión de números de teléfono bloqueados, luego no debería de pasar eso, y por desgracia por eso solamente le quito 1 estrella (es decir, solamente le dejo 4 estrellas).Es posible que esa lista blanca esté puesta con la idea de que números de teléfonos y/o de rangos sean para desbloquearlos temporalmente por el motivo que fuera (asistencia médica, operadores de telefonía que a lo mejor temporalmente tengas que escucharlos, etc.) y así con el tiempo directamente meterlos de nuevo en la lista negra, pero claro, con todo y eso debería de excluir de los rangos los números de teléfono que estén en la lista blanca y que empiecen por el rango de dicho número de teléfono y no bloquearlos igualmente, y claro, así la lista blanca no sirve de mucho, la verdad.Estoy pensando si devolverlo o quedármelo, y estoy más bien en el punto de quedármelo, pero aún así me lo estoy pensando bastante por el tema de la lista blanca por no excluir a los números de teléfono que estén con un rango bloqueado en la lista negra.

Ce l'ho ormai da una decina di giorni e devo dire che da quando l'ho installato ho ricevuto solo 2 chiamate spam... Cioè ok, probabilmente hanno smesso di chiamarmi, per ora.Però quando ricominceranno (e lo faranno) sarò ad aspettarli al varco! 🙂

It used to work this is the second time the red button doesn’t light up you can’t block numbers. Does broadband affect CPR.

Ho acquistato il CPR Call Blocker V10000 per abbattere le insistenti chiamate dei Call Center avendo a volte la necessità di riposare in ore diurne. Il mio sistema telefonico è derivato dal modem Tim Hub Fibra con il normale cavetto telefonico plug in RJ11 per cui è come se fosse la normale linea telefonica. Ci sono due modi per collegare il CPR V 10000:Il primo è con collegamento in serie, ovvero usando il cavetto nero plug plug trasparente collegato alla porta LINE ed al telefono. In questa configurazione il Call Blocker riceve le telefonate ma non le invia al telefono finché non ha letto il numero del chiamante inviato dal gestore telefonico, poi se viene riconosciuto come presente nella lista dei numeri bloccati chiude la telefonata o se avete impostato di rispondere con un messaggio vocale risponde con l’avviso di blocco e poi chiude la telefonata senza che il telefono squilli. Se invece il numero non è nella lista di blocco il telefono comincerà a squillare per farvi rispondere ma al costo di non poter poi leggere sul display del cordless chi è il chiamante che invece è apparso sul display del Call Blocker nel primo momento di arrivo della telefonata. Ciò è causato dal fatto che il gestore telefonico invia il numero del chiamante nei primissimi secondi della chiamata per cui nel tempo che il Call Blocker controlla il numero ed poi decide di inviarlo al telefono l’informazione numerica si è ormai persa. Con la configurazione seriale quindi il Call Blocker offre il miglior servizio di blocco ma al costo di non vedere il chiamante sul display dei cordless, in più con la configurazione seriale si può bloccare il chiamante digitando sul cordless #2 e poi chiudere la chiamata. In questo modo si blocca quel numero che ritroverete nella lista dei bloccati.Il secondo modo di collegare il Call Blocker è il modo parallelo ovvero usando il cavetto bianco con il plug rosso inserito nella porta LINE 1 ed il plug trasparente nel telefono. In questa configurazione il Call Blocker essendo in parallelo non può non far squillare il telefono da subito che mostrerà sul suo display il numero del chiamante come sul display del Call Blocker. Se si riconosce il chiamante come da bloccare basta premere il pulsante rosso sul Call Blocker ma solo finché esso e mostrato nello schermo altrimenti se si risponde dal telefono non si potrà più fare neanche con il comando sul cordless #2 più riaggancio, infatti tale sistema non potrà funzionare dato il collegamento in parallelo che esclude gli apparecchi che non hanno risposto e quindi tale comando non viene ricevuto dal Call Blocker. Per poi poter bloccare quel numero occorrerà recarsi sul Call Blocker ed accedere alla lista dei chiamanti riconoscendo il numero da bloccare e poi bloccarlo con la pressione sul tasto rosso, la scritta Successfull confermerà il blocco di quel numero. Per limitare il problema che il telefono squilla comunque si può inserire la suoneria con il volume a rampa in modo che cominci a bassissimo volume e se poi il Call Blocker riconosce il numero come dannoso risponde lui ed invia il messaggio vocale di chiamata bloccata fermando di fatto la suoneria in pochissimi secondi.Conclusione. Il sistema funziona molto bene ma con i limiti da me descritti, in effetti bisogna scegliere cosa si ritiene più importante, bloccare tutti gli squilli ma non sapere poi sui cordless chi è il chiamante quando non bloccato, oppure se sapere poi sul cordless chi è che chiama da subito per poi lasciare al Call Blocker il compito di rispondere e chiudere la chiamata a chi è indesiderato e presente nella lista dei bloccati.Ricordo in oltre che è possibile anche fare l’inverso del blocco e consentire solo le chiamate di numeri da voi impostati escludendo tutte le altre non presenti nella lista. Si possono bloccare in massa tutti i numeri internazionali e quelli con blocco del ‘identificazione visualizzati come NUMERO PRIVATO, si possono infine bloccare anche le chiamate Voip.Spero di aver fatto un po’ di chiarezza dato che il manuale è solo in inglese ed assolutamente troppo semplicistico e non affronta per niente questi argomenti, saluti a tutti!!!

L'Ho testato per 3 mesi.il prodotto fa quel che deve e funziona a dovere.solo 1 volta è andato in tilt e non filtrava le chiamate.ho trovato solo un difetto.se voglio bloccare un prefisso alle volte crea problemi.ad esempio voglio bloccare il prefisso 06?con la procedura **7#06# il numero non viene bloccato..devo andare per tentativi ad aggiungere una altra cifra finché lo accetta.ciò che non capita con il prefisso ad esempio 02..e non saprei il perché.per il resto sto avendo meno telefonate..ma il loro spam non finisce mai,escono sempre numeri nuovi(soprattutto di cellulari)da bloccare.funziona, potete usarlo.
