Alternatively, you can press trueCall’s centre button when you hear
your phone ring, and it will play the Whisper announcement through
its speaker
“You have a call from -
Sally
- pickup the handset to accept the
call, press the left button to ask the caller to take a message or
the right button to Zap them”
If you press the left button, or do nothing, Message Manager will
take a message for you.
Whisper is very effective at screening out unwanted calls:-
•
Whisper stops most telemarketers. They know that you are
unlikely to want to buy anything from them if you are screening
your calls with trueCall. They are paid commission on every sale
they make, so it’s in their own interest to hang up and move on
to the next number on their list.
•
Whisper helps you manage your time - if you are busy, you can
speak to your most important callers, and let trueCall take
messages from the rest.
•
Whisper is an effective barrier to malicious callers - if you don’t
recognise the caller’s name, or if a caller refuses to identify
themselves, you can reject them without ever being connected
to them. You never have to speak to anyone you don’t want to.
trueCall comes with a standard Whisper announcement, but you
can record your own if you prefer (see page 20).
Mid call Zap
If you have accepted a call, but decide that you don’t want to
continue with it, trueCall’s Zap is a firm but polite way of getting rid of
an unwanted caller.
To Zap a caller, just press the hash (
#
) key on your telephone at
any time during an incoming call. trueCall will put them on hold for a
second and will privately ask you to confirm by pressing the hash key
again. trueCall will then play the Zap announcement to the caller:-
“I’m afraid that we’re not interested in your call – please
hang up now and don’t call us again.”
If you have Caller ID and the caller’s number, it will put them onto
your Zap list and will block them if they call again.
