I've never gotten an automated police bulletin (what are they for?), so I can't tell you if the Telezapper would block those or not, but they really do work with telemarketers. The first week or so you have one, you get a lot of "dead rings" (telemarketers' computers ringing in and then disconnecting), but that tapers off pretty quickly. I'm really happy with ours (had it for a little over a year now).glauber wrote:I didn't buy the telezapper because i never believed it worked, and for over $50, i didn't want to get one to find out. I'm rather surprised to hear that it does work. Isn't this the little box that sends a signal that says that your phone has been disconnected? And would this mess up something that you might actually want to hear, such as an automated police bulletin?Nanohedron wrote:I use the Telezapper, too. Since I have the habit of screening my calls anyway, it works for me. It's rather satisfying to hear an incoming call get nipped in the bud.
Caller ID wouldn't do me much good because I have (and answer) phones all over the house, most of which are "plain vanilla" (with no capacity to show caller ID). The Telezapper was a lot cheaper than replacing the phones would be.
