Zap list

 

Your Zap List is the list of phone numbers that you don’t want to 
receive calls from. 

There are lots of ways of putting someone on your Zap list:- 

• 

When you hear the Whisper announcement, press the hash key 
on your phone ( 

). The caller will be played the Zap announce-

ment asking them not to call again, and their telephone number 
will be put onto your Zap list. 

• 

You can Zap a caller at any time during an incoming call – just 
press the hash ( 

#

 ) key on your telephone. trueCall will put them 

on hold for a second and will privately ask you to confirm by 
pressing the hash key again. The caller will be played the Zap 
announcement, asking them not to call again, and if you have 
their calling number, they will be put onto your Zap list.  

• 

You can add numbers to your Zap list in the setup menu (see 
page 18). 

• 

You can add numbers to your Zap list at your Internet Control 
Panel. 

• 

When Message Manager is playing back your messages press 
the Hash key on your phone ( 

#

 ) to add the caller to your Zap 

list. 

 

Important note: trueCall doesn’t allow you to Zap or Star someone 
on an outgoing call - this prevents confusion if you dial into an 
automated banking system and have to press the Hash or Star 
button! 

Auto UnZap 

If you Zap one of your friends by mistake, don’t worry - trueCall will 
sort it out automatically! trueCall’s AutoUnZap feature takes 
anyone you call off your Zap list. 

Message Manager 

Message Manager is trueCall’s built-in answering machine. 

You will notice that your trueCall unit doesn’t have lots of buttons 
like other answering machines – this is because it works just like 
your mobile phone’s voicemail service. You control it from your 
telephone handset, and it speaks to you telling you what your 
options are at each stage.
