ODSEN Home Phone Call Blocker - Block Unwanted Calls & Enjoy Peace & Quiet

Lonnie: We don't how we got on the Robo call lists but we were getting as many as 60 bogus calls a day. We did not answer any calls that we did recognize yet they kept coming with Spoofing local numbers. Finally I disconnected our land lines in the house and would only plug them in to check for Voice Mail Messages or when we needed to use the phone. Our phones were pretty useless and I tired of allowing criminals to try and manipulate our lives. We researched many Call Blocker machines and finally chose this one as a middle price range and functions. The cheap and expensive ones all had wonderful and terrible reviews.

Positives: It works. It is not as expensive as some. It did bring some relief for a while.

Negatives: It does not work all of the time. At times it blocks ALL of the calls. When accidentally blocking a legitimate number I have not yet been able to unblock it. I went on Youtube and viewed several videos that did not help. Our land line service is terrible.

Insomnia: It's not the best, but the price was right. It doesn't come with any pre-loaded numbers blocked, and it has no ability to recognize numbers coming from scam or spam sources so it really only works after you start manually blocking all those nuisance calls one by one. Unfortunately, most of those annoying agencies calling you multiple times a day have a LOT of numbers to bother you with. When you've finally stopped their calls, they get a batch of new numbers to call from so it's kind of an endless cycle. It claims there are settings to block certain area codes but it doesn't work on mine, and even if it did, it's not a realistic solution since scammers and spammers (at least in my experience) are either using or cloning numbers with my local area code. Other features it claims are a light up display and the ability to block numbers using the * button on the hand set (if I remember the button correctly) but neither of those work for me either which makes the process a bit annoying at times. It's not a BAD device, just very much "you get what you pay for". One thing it could really benefit from is to have the "block" button illuminated in some way. It is red but that doesn't help...

Mark Wilkinson: I have been using this call blocker for about 2 months and now I rarely get any unwelcome calls.

Amazon Customer: The only point that bugs me is, if we want to block ID's with no name or phone number, it will not link the tel line, i.e. no dial tone. We mustset it up to let it ring once to be able to use the tel line. For this reason a 2 stars.

ronrunner: I set up this call blocker 3 days ago, and carefully following the instructions included with the blocker, attempted to block an entire area code (most of my scam calls are coming from one particular area, using the same area code but a different number each time). After several attempts using two different phones, I was unsuccessful in blocking theat area code, or any area code. I sent a detailed email to the address provided in the instructions explaining the issue and the process I had used in trying to block an entire area code. It says they will get back within 24 hours (the company is in China). Well, the good news is, they lived up to their promise and replied early the following day (less than 24 hours). The bad news is, they provided me with the same process which I had already attempted, so the issue was not resolved. I'm still using it for a few days to make sure all the other features work, and if they do, I'll most likely keep this blocker since it's very easy to block an incoming call as it's happening, or to go back later if you don't happen to be sitting next to the phone when the call comes in, and block it later. Incidentally, the short instruction manual is...

Frazier: The product is easy to use and it is easy to program. It does what it is supposed to do and that is to block numbers from ringing that I program into it. The high number capacity is also a fantastic feature. The one downside that I don't like about the product is that it doesn't display the entire Caller ID information, it just displays the phone number. There was a couple of cases where I was a bit over zealous and programmed my wife's cell phone number to be blocked and her best friends number and then had to go back through and delete it out of the blocker. I have to go through and use the telephone's caller ID to identify the numbers from the daytime to block and this slows down the programming of the numbers so that I can identify the number on the caller ID and then find it on the blocker to block. Other than those two small hiccup it works great and I have noticed a marked downslope of telemarketer/polling calls.

P Battey: I ordered this about 6 weeks ago and it has been nothing but a problem. It doesn't block the spammers unless you manually do it but it blocked my friend who is on my caller ID. I tried doing what they said hitting delete twice when that didn't work I reset the machine. It then blocked my sister-in-law on her cell phone again I had to reset it and it blocked her again and it blocked her home phone. I'm so aggravated I have unplugged it and I'm very sorry but I would not recommend this product.

I gave the additional Stars based on the customer service that I received and it was exemplary. So I felt because of the customer service it deserved four stars instead of one. If only the item worked they would have gotten five. I hope knowing how good their customer service is, is enough to try this product for yourself.
