  • trueCall

    A recommendation here for a superb, but pricey bit of kit. Truecall will filter all your calls. You set up * lists where people you want get straight through, zap lists where people you don't want to speak to get a message telling them you don't accept calls from that number and hangs up (mine is set to give the disconnected tone). Other calls have to say who they are, they are then put on hold for a few seconds, Truecall rings your phone and tells you that you have a call from Caspar. You then either press 1 to accept me, * so that in future I always get straight through, # to zap me or hang up and it takes a message. For around £20 extra you can buy a memory card which then records your calls - mine is set to record all calls.

    Absolutely brilliant piece of kit, but costs about £80 for the unit via internet plus £20ish for the recording card. For us it has been more than worth the money it cost!

        Fabulous idea Niddy about getting discounted items for AAD users. Hope you are successful.

        Perhaps you could try for discounted ciggies and/or wine too - that would be very useful

                  Hi Everyone
                  If you're looking for a cheap Truecall Telephone screening device you could try what I did keep an eye on eBay as they do come up on there from time to time I just got one described as brand-new still in its box with the SD card for £67.01 +£5.00 p&p which I thought was a bargain.

                    Re: trueCall

                    Mmm just been looking on fleabay: with the SD card it's an extra £20 odd... just wondered if it's just a bog standard SD card in which case, cheaper to buy a normal one separately?
                    Sooo looking forward to telling DCAs "we don't want your call".

                      Hi MustGetStraight
                      You don't actually need the is the SD card to make the unit work the SD card is used if you want to record your calls.
                      And they say in instructions that it is not a standard SD card and a standard card will not work has there's got to be preloaded software.
                      Hope this helps and answer to your question.
                      Regards

                        Ah it does - thank you. I'd like the recording option but £20 odd extra seemed a bit steep if it wasn't a bog standard SD card!
