Actually you are unique. An examination of my True call logs sees
people just hanging up when asked for their name. Some recordings do
get through, but I understand some new version of true call software
now asks the caller to say their name and press hash, which stops the
caller using a pre recorded message.


I didn't know there were different versions. Our kit asks them their
name and to press hash. Still no nuisance calls - 14 days since the
last one tried to call.



Just got mine installed and working. The final straw was a couple of
'auto' calls very early in the morning. Bit fiddly to set up, and was
rather p***ed off to have to pay BT almost 20 quid a year for caller ID.
Plus the 20 quid a year for the TruCall online facility.

All I now need to find out is if it triggers quickly enough to stop the
phone in the bedroom ringing.
