Doesn't the TrueCall announcement tell your callers to press some
button if they wish to speak to you? Those automated calls wouldn't
know to do that.


You have choice, but yes _blocked_ calls can be answered with an
alternative message asking the caller to state their name and then press
hash. What you do with the call is up to you. You can set up a number of
rings so that you answer the phone and you are given the callers name
which you can then accept, reject or send to answer phone. Alternatively
you can set, say, one ring and then automatically redirect to the
answerphone. The answerphone has call monitoring and you can interrupt
it for a live reply.
