Non Geographical Number Needing Changing  Tel 0870 990 3606

If you receive a lot of SPAM faxes like me I tried to order one of these units
but they cancelled my order because of my "location" I live in Ireland

They did not answer emails sent.

So I would appreciate if you could get the Normal Landline Number
If someone knowns a better Product let me know and if its 0870 Tel I want the
plain number lol.

Anyone know about this www.voicepulse.com they are a VOIP USA based telephone company they offer some really excellent call features like Anonymous Call Block

"Anonymous Call Block with Prompting

With anonymous call blocking, you can prevent anonymous calls from ringing your phone. You can also give anonymous users the option of ringing your phone by "revealing their identity". They must enter their phone number which will then show up on your CallerID display. Their number will show up as "??5551234567??" with the additional question marks to let you know that this call was originally anonymous and we cannot guarantee that the number they entered is really their phone number"

These are really brilliant ideas I asked on Uk.Voip.Telecom Newsgroup about this was it available in Europe I cannot find it maybe you guys in the UK know more.

I was told they must be using "ASTERISK" to achieve hopefully the Moderator of this group will know more.

I am with Vonage Voip I wrote to their CEO by Email suggesting they implement these call features never even got a reply how arrogant.

Hello Heidy

I had a look at the Callblocker thing you wanted, and it sounds like all the telemarketers have to do to get through to you is press 5 - and I can see the recorded message getting on genuine callers' nerves once they've heard it a couple of times.

It seems very expensive for what it is. If all you want to do is put a message on your line and you're willing to have a new phone number and use Skype, you could try the PrettyMay for Skype plug-in which will let you create recorded messages and menu options etc. Alternatively Callagenix.com will allow you to rent a phone number of your choice, on which you can set up menus and recorded messages, and have calls diverted to any other number(s).

Another alternative is to call BT and get their Anonymous Call Reject service, which will stop callers who withhold their number from getting through to you. They will hear a message instead. Other phone companies probably offer the same service. There's also a more advanced BT service called Choose to Refuse, where you can block whatever numbers you like (except international numbers). The BT services have a fee, but I think you should try these before you fork out money on a black box that plays recorded messages.
