Call Block Comparison - Compare Call Block Features and Save |
|
|
Call block services from your telephone service provider can be
an expensive proposition and is often too limited to satisfy the
desires of the of the user. The call block services comparison chart
below describes the various services offered by telephone service
providers to block or screen calls, the monthly costs involved and
the limits imposed.
Until recently, only your telephone service provider could be called
upon to provide limited call blocking by adding services and additional
monthly fees. With the introduction of the Caller
ID Manager, totally effective call block features are put into
the hands of the user, without incurring additional monthly fees,
and without the limits imposed by telephone company call block features.
Add up the costs of call block services from the telephone company
and you'll see that the Caller
ID Manager quickly pays for itself by eliminating additional
monthly services, while adding tons of features that are not offered
by your telephone company.
For VoIP, Vonage and Broadband users, many of the call block services
listed below are not available, but are fully compatible with the
Caller ID Manager
which can provide all call block features without additional services
or fees.
