TeleZapper Q&A:
Q. How does the TeleZapper feature work?
A. When the phone is picked up, the TeleZapper feature plays a tone, which tells the
telemarketer’s predictive dialer computer that the number has been disconnected.
The telemarketer’s computer then takes your number off of the list forever and your
number will not be sold to other telemarketing companies! The TeleZapper feature
only “zaps” computerized calling systems that are set to detect disconnected
numbers. This includes virtually all random telemarketers. It will not “zap” other
companies who dial your phone number directly and not through a telemarketing
computer. People using the TeleZapper products typically see an 80% or higher
reduction in calls.
Q. How do I know when I’ve “zapped” a telemarketer?
A. If you answer your telephone and there’s no one there, the odds are that you just
“zapped” one. Quite often you will see the caller ID from such a call is “unavailable.”
After a month, you will notice that you receive fewer and fewer of these calls.
Q. Do I need one for each telephone or telephone jack in my home or office?
A. No. Your VT 2528 with the TeleZapper feature covers ALL telephones connected
to the same line (telephone number). If you have two lines, you need an additional
unit for your other line.
Q. Will it interfere with my computer or fax machine?
A. No. It plays the tone briefly when the line is answered, then goes to “sleep” waiting
for the next call.
Q. Will it interfere with my answering machine?
A. No. This is the best way to use your TeleZapper feature. Let you answering
machine pick up the line, the TeleZapper feature “zaps” the telemarketer, and you
were not bothered at all! You will need to delay your message for about 2 seconds
to allow the tone to play.
Q. I have voicemail from the telephone company. Will it work with this?
A. No. Voicemail works by forwarding your calls to a central location. In order for the
TeleZapper feature to work, the phone in your home must be picked up. If the call
goes to voice mail, the TeleZapper feature will not activate.
