The V100K I thought was too good to be true.The fact that it commands a price three times higher then others. I was really reluctant to buy it.I work from home and for years and recently months just bombarded by calls all day and even nights and weekends.Facts your phone company wont help. None I ever have had does. I also record videos and who loves hearing the phone ring why recording.LOOK: I tried all the ideas, don't answer, turn off answering machine, tell them not to call you. Even tried a recording that made it sound like my phone was disconnected nothing worked.So I have a fiber optic phone line, with a modem and thought this wont work.Plug it in, simple easy direction. Next day no calls, 4 days nothing. One on the 5th day and I blocked it.But it comes preprogrammed and also filters for international calls and suspicious ones.My phone has a base unit and I plugged it in and tested calling to make sure it didn't just block everything.But it works well. The reviews by others can be confusing, I think it has allot to do with how your phone company is setup on whether this works for you. I have a very picky phone system and it worked on mine.My opinion, do not call lists you register are useless. They give the list to legit company on who they can not call.However illegal scammers do not care, and by registering you now are part of a list that knows you are a live person and then use these lists for what they are not intended.This unit is small and no issues at allPROS:Easy simple setupNo BatteriesComes phone cords that are color coded.Directions are simple and easyLarge screen I can read with out glasses.Seniors will love it huge block button.Cons:The unit is preprogrammed with 100,000 filter numbers.There is no way to see these numbers or edit them.There is no information on if it updates firmware.( however you can manually add by the button)Final thoughts:Buy it, yes it is more then many others. But it works.Nothing is perfect, but so far I am very happy with the system.I wish there was more ways to edit blocking features.But it is built for simplicity, and that it does well.I am a huge tech junky and was really not thinking it would work.It did for me right outta the box.Remember phone systems vary and nothing can work on everything.I do hope it works for you and gives you some peace like it did me.

I love this product. (And I am so glad they released it now, even though the design still needs work.) But I would not have been so happy with it if I had not done both of the following two things: read the instruction manual with great care, and read all of the 100 plus product reviews (from 1 star to 5 stars) here on Amazon. 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. I had no need to do so, but from the comments of those who did, it seems they all came away impressed with the personal and individualized service they got from Kevin. So, major Kudos here.Second, perhaps because I have the newest model, the 202, (and because I read the instructions) I had almost none of the problems with installation and programming that others have mentioned. My only issue was that the beep codes to program the 202 conflicted with the star codes on my phone system (a Panasonic DECT 6.0 cordless), but the instructions told me how to solve the issue. Fortunately, the CID signal in my area was strong enough that I could also set up the system in serial configuration.Third, before you buy this product you must understand its essential limitations, some of which I think they can fix easily now, and others which I hope they fix before they come out with the next version of their product.First the easy stuff: It is so emotionally satisfying, a real catharsis, to push the big red button and send the telemarketer into oblivion (they clearly get this), but marking the button "block now" is more than just "British reserve" it borders on the insipid. "Block now" just does not capture the furor of having 15 or more telemarketers call you every day for years. I have already covered over my Red Button with an adhesive label that reads: "DIE, DIE, DIE" and I have commissioned my young son to draw a series of even more expressive labels for me. 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.Second, 1000 blocked numbers is great, and far better that your competitors, but my question for you is, with flash memory so cheap, why just 1000, and not 100,000? (Indeed, where did you even find a memory card so small?) I imagine telemarketers use a least 20 different numbers, and there must be more than 50 telemarketing operations, so that could become a problem.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.Fourth, for many people blocking an entire area code, all anonymous calls, or all international calls is not a viable option. By doing so you might block your banks fraud center in Minot ND (or God knows where), or cut yourself off from tech support, or friends, customers and family which have a legitimate reason for blocking their numbers. So, I just let any unrecognized number go to my answering machine unanswered, and answer personally only those numbers I recognize. But that is not ideal. What would be ideal is if they incorporated their blocker into an answering machine. If a good call comes in push a button to add it to your "white list," if you want to block a number, push the red button and add it to your "black list," if you are unsure, let the call go to the answering machine, initially set on audible mode to screen the call and pick it up if necessary. After several months set the answering machine to quiet mode - takes message, but does not ring or play the message audibly, but you can play it back later if you wish.Finally, I personally like the fact that the telemarketer cannot tell that you have blocked him. Viscerally I like that confusion and doubt that you must be engendering in their minds, but I am also sure many in the American market would like some other options. 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. Your current video just does not cut it.I hope you guys make a fortune and succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

I stayed with my elderly parents for a week and noticed they received a very high volume of telemarketers and scam calls. Upwards of 30+ junk calls a day! I have no idea how many years they've lived like this but I couldn't stand it for a week. Did some research and bought this for them. It greatly reduced the number of junk calls a day to a handful. For those few I've kept my eye out for the calls slipping through the cracks and pressed the Block Call button. This is a great solution for the elderly. I couldn't give it 5 stars as I would have expected better features at this price point. I would love to entered numbers or flag certain calls as "approved" like close family and friends. In any case, my parents have gotten a little relief for now.
