Mark, Digitone Call Blocker (80 number capaciy) can be used w/answering machine (I currently have this one), and the newest Panasonic w/250 numder blocking capacity has one version with built-in answering machine (may get to eplace answering machine but add to Digitone call blocker. It's amazing how quickly I reach the 80 number capacity!
In all kindness, may I suggest that you either purchase a call blocker (Digitone from Amazon) or a call blocking phone. Panasonic now makes a phone that blocks 250 calls.
For my office, I have the Digitone blocker. The Digitone call blocker can block individual numbers and ENTIRE AREA CODES. Currently, I have 27 area codes blocked along with numerous phone numbers.
For my home line, I have the new Panasonic phone that blocks 250 numbers. I understand that it will fill with blocked numbers - sooner than later. When the phone fills with numbers, I will delete the oldest number(s).
Have recieved numerous unwanted calls from this number told the girl to take my name off their lists because I am tired of their calls. I asked if she heard me and she told me to SHUT UP.
Lots and lots of calls from here that has a recording "It's your last chance to take advantage of the Obama mortgage stimulas..." There is no one available to talk with -- it's a waste of my time and I am very tired of the constant calling. It will call immediately back if you don't answer. I think harassment is a good word to use here.
