Find Best Price at Amazon"With this puppy the phone doesn't "ring once" like it does with other blockers or the "block" from my phone/cable company (not VOIP - we use Cox). We were to the point we were going to get rid of our home phone due to the blind dial calls ("hello, this is Windows support"), the Out of Area calls and the Political "can I have three minutes of your time" and then you spend 30 minutes listening to someone read asinine questions about a bunch of clowns running for office."
"I really wanted to like the CPR V5000 based on good reviews and advertised functionality, but in the end I have concluded that while it is a quality product, it does not work well for the US phone system. Here’s why: When the device is connected in SERIES (using the recommended procedure shown for US setup) the call blocker itself works ok except it did NOT pass along the caller ID to my Uniden DECT cordless phone system. This may be true, but my 4 year-old Digitone call blocker had no problem passing through the caller-ID info (Digitone has its own power source, which may be a factor), so I concluded it is NOT the phone line voltage that is the problem."
"I was able to easily view all the blocked numbers simply by pressing an up arrow button marked “Block List” and then using the up or down arrow buttons as desired to scroll through the list of numbers. Once again, I appreciated the capability of being able to scroll through the call list of recent call numbers (press the down arrow marked “Call List”) and quickly select any junk number to block by pressing the red “Block” button while the desired junk number is displayed. I did not see any evidence of strange numbers being blocked so I don’t know if the blocker displays any information when (if) it blocks one of the 5000 pre-programmed junk numbers. However, I don’t think this capability is necessary for us because of being able to recall the caller’s phone number to the blocker’s display and then simply pressing the red “Block” button any time after the call has disconnected while the recalled number is displayed."

They don't want to discourage marketing companies from calling you as it generates phone service revenue for the phone companies. To make it easy, you can block all numbers by area code such as those beginning with 800 or 866."
"What I learned is: 1) that there are substantial limitations with this product, but virtually all of them have work-arounds, 2) this product in and of itself does not provide a complete solution to the problem of nuisance calls and has to be used in conjunction with your own individualized plan for thwarting telemarketers, and most importantly 3) they have a phenomenal and virtually unprecedented commitment to customer service and satisfaction. First concerning customer satisfaction: Look at any of the product reviews here on Amazom, and you will find a reply from Kevin (presumably their US representative) offering a solution and inviting (begging) people who are having problems to call him. This is not a trivial concern, I think you could triple your US sales by removing "block now" lettering from your red button and substituting a sheet of 8 adhesive labels, four with popular themes, perhaps: DIE, a mushroom cloud, a skull and crossbones, the face from Edvard Munch's Scream, and four blank ones to allow the purchaser to express their anger more individuality. Third, I am fortunate to be able to set up my system in series and not parallel, but you could solve this by adding a alpha numeric key pad to your unit to allow it to be programmed directly without having to use the very cumbersome and annoying beeps codes, or even worse having to change the configuration of the unit to program it if it is set up in parallel configuration. Perhaps the blocked person could hear, maniacal laughter, Justin Bieber's greatest hits, or perhaps the French Knight from Monty Python saying: "I fart in your general direction." Very lastly, please save your poor Kevin some grief and make a better You Tube video covering all the installation issues, glitches and workarounds."
"You do not have to block a complete 10-digit number, you can block any length of numbers, such as an area code like "xxx", or a smaller area like "xxxx" or even a much larger area (or service) like all numbers that begin with "9" for example, by just blocking only the first digit "9". Be careful blocking certain services like calls without an ID - My friends and family from the UK could not get through to me in America, because I tried blocking calls without caller ID, Approximately 60% of the time it was blocking calls from the UK now. Block your own phone number! Some telemarketers spoof your own number to call you with, knowing it is unlikely to be blocked - They caught us out with this sneaky trick, but only once! Blocking services are getting so good that the telemarketers are having to change their numbers at least once a week - So apart from a small handful of numbers, you only need block a number for a week here at the moment. This is how phone systems are designed as the caller ID code is actually sent between the first and second rings - So the CPR cannot block that first ring as the caller ID has not been sent yet! So I would like to make a feature request...Could the software be changed to give the option of storing the numbers to be let through, instead of storing the numbers to be blocked? The idea then would be that ALL calls would be blocked automatically, unless you had programed in their number - Whitelisting, instead of blacklisting numbers."
"I usually do not write reviews, however this product deserves the highest possible rating due to it's ease of use and complete delivery on what the makers claim it will do."
• All other call blockers rely solely on Black List to block, they can't block unknown calls that are not on Black List. White List callers will bypass SENTRY to ring your phone. Unique ACTIVE screening, blocks all unknown or known spam calls. 100% effective on all robo calls, election calls, telemarketing or any solicitor calls.

Two items which warrant improvement are 1) the poor audio quality of the built-in incoming and outgoing voice message recorders and 2) the surprisingly scanty and inadequate unit operations documentation. To minimize the inconvenience and time required for a real person, not on the white or black lists, to connect to my home phone I recorded this brief OGM: “This is (given name)” [Hopefully the party would recognize the name and voice and not hang up without listening further]; “To ring my home phone” [This is what they intended to do]; “Press zero, hang up, and redial my number."
"Forget the other devices like nomorobo that compare the incoming phone number to a big blacklist..... telemarketers are just faking random caller id's. This device has a recording that immediately tells callers to hit the '0' key while a robot dialer is still searching for a telemarketer to connect the call to after it has been answered."
"I had previously purchased a much more sophisticated device which I could not set up properly so I sent it back. This device has an answering machine built-in but a very quiet start recording tone after about 6 rings and no special out going message so I prefer my old machine which is set to pick-up after four rings."

"I work in an underground warehouse environment and I was wanting a headset that would allow me to leave my desk, free up both of my hands and have the signal strength to reach long distances. PROS: I'm able to traverse the entire dock area outside of the office; the signal strength even allows me be outside to a certain degree. Until then, I was afraid the headset may fall off, but once I found the proper adjustment, I've never been worried again. I work 8-9 hr days and I've never had a problem with the headset losing charge."
"Such a major improvement over the old style, sound quality is great and it has a much nicer over the head headset or an in your ear attachment to choose from."
"I use it with a Panasonic phone (Panasonic KX-TGF383M DECT 3-Handset Landline Telephone)."
"It was purchased for my boss."
"I was skeptic of the price of this one, yet the quality of sound is so good for being a wireless device, the range is retardedly good--and it's just so convenient for a fast paced work environment."
"I am very happy with these headsets and so are the rest of my front desk staff."
"You want a good headset, you can't go wrong with the CS540, comes with the headset lift, its comfortable has a lot of adjustable pieces to fit your ear and make it very comfortable to wear for long periods of time."

"Nevertheless, by the end of the hour TiVo had actually connected successfully, and went all the way through its various up-and-down loads again to finally finish the process and disconnect. I also bought an extra extension Unit , but due to all of the limitations it is not clear that it will be usable for a hookup to a Fax machine that should be located between 2 separate Surge Suppressors. The lack of (TiVo) detectable Dial Tone may have something to do with the REN number of (devices attached to) the Phone Line -- which Phonex says should not exceed 5. I will update this, if needed, for significant problems or successes I get with these units, but it would be a good idea to take a look at several of the excellent Reviews for this product before buying."
"When I first tried to use the units, the remote unit could not connect to the base unit."
"It was delivered as promised and it work very well,I needed this to hook up a monitor for my wife's pacemaker."
"I do have a humming noise in the line, but that's from my house wiring, not the wireless jacks."
"The next time I tried was a few weeks later and it didn't work."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Most people may assume that since this product (8 Pack Panasonic NiMH AAA Rechargeable Battery for Cordless Phones) bears the Panasonic brand name, it must be the best replacement batteries for Panasonic DECT 6.0 cordless phones. First, check the battery compartment of your Panasonic cordless phone (for example, the Panasonic KX-TG1062M DECT 6.0 Cordless/Corded Phone). As long as your replacement batteries have capacity equal or higher than the original batteries, you are good to go. That said, I highly recommend getting some good-quality LSD (Low-Self-Discharge, also known as 'Pre-Charged') rechargeable batteries, instead of either genuine Panasonic brand or off-brand rechargeable batteries. Consider, for examples: - Sanyo eneloop AAA Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (800mAh). - GP ReCyko AAA Rechargeable Batteries Pre-Charged (850mAh). - Tenergy Centura AAA Low Self-Discharge NiMH Rechargeable Batteries (rated 800mAh but measured ~900mAh). All those batteries above offer higher capacity than the original Panasonic batteries."
