Digitone ProSeries 3 Call Blocker Automatic SPAM Blocking for Landline Phones - Easy Setup One Button Blocking of RoboCalls

I bought this because of the never ending cavalcade of robocallers, scams, etc. I was seeing anywhere from 10 to as many as 50 calls in a day. The weekends would see the count drift lower, but not completely stop. First, this was NOT a plug and play and then I was protected setup. You should expect to do some setup. But once I had it set properly, it became a rare thing for one of those unwanted calls to get through. The unit just sits and quietly ignores the calls I don't want, and passes through the calls I want. Specifically, I had to add known good exchanges to the allow list. I also added people with numbers from exchanges that are not local. Then I set the DigiTone to block or reject all calls that are not explicitly on the allow list. And the method I chose it to just let the call ring indefinitely. Another option is to have the DigiTone answer the call and then hang up. I decided this latter method was not the best choice, as having anything answer the call indicates the number is alive and active. One note: Pay attention to the phone number of allowed callers. I was missing the leading 1, the country code for USA. Once I added the 1 plus the allowed call numbers and exchanges, the unit worked as expected. Even the samples in the book do not show the 1 as part of the numbers. Without that 1, the DigiTone did not recognize my allowed numbers. Pay attention to how the numbers are displayed in the caller ID. That's it. Once the allow list was setup, the DigiTone started ignoring the relentless calls and my phone only rings when I have a legitimate call. Again, a very slim few did manage to get through, But there have been so few of those I can count them on one hand, without exaggeration. In short, I recommend this and would buy another if needed.

So far, I'm really starting to like this call blocker, this call blocker actually blocks out names, unlike the big red button call blockers that only block out numbers, I get numerous calls every day from political organizations, and the phone company won't do anything about it these organizations change their number thousands of times every day, the call blocker on your phone absolutely cannot keep up with it, this call blocker is the real deal if you have fiber optic cable and you connect your phone to a router, I'll admit, I still have a lot to learn about this device, it has so many features that I would be here all day trying to explain all of them, I blocked 2 political calls already today that have been calling me several times a day for years, this call blocker is worth every penny just for the silence, so far, it's working like it's supposed to, it doesn't take up much room on your desk, it also has a bracket where you can hang it from a wall or the side of your desk...Forget about those big red button blockers, and buy this one, this is a serious piece of equipment that will do what the others won't...Highly recommend!

Extremely disappointed with the Digitone Proseries 3 call blocker. After configuring it to allow all calls through, it worked as expected on the first day. By day two, incoming calls stopped ringing entirely-the device silenced ringing on the phone plugged into its TEL port for every single call. When verifying the settings on screen using code 92, the unit still displayed the exact same configuration as the day before, but its actual operating mode had changed on its own. A device whose screen no longer reflects what it is actually doing after just 24 hours cannot be relied on. Not recommended.

Seems to be working well. The directions were difficult to understand. I Googled them and found videos that helped with the setup. It definitely helped reduce our SPAM calls. I am still getting used to how to add spam callers to the device. Overall, it seems to be helping.

Love this product! We had to order a second one because an electrical storm killed our first one. A new surge protector solved that problem for us. I like the fact that I can block certain names like a city or spam risk. It is pretty straight forward to hook up and I'm not that good with tech. We already had caller ID, which is a must for this unit. It's not too large, so it's easy to fit next to our phone. The function of it is perfect for us and while it's a little on the pricey side, it is worth the money to stop all the calls from random salespeople and robo callers. Obviously, we would buy it again and recommend it to a friend or family member.

I bought this to install in my elderly parents’ home. They get about 20-30 spam calls daily and nothing we’ve done so far has helped to decrease the sheer volume. The device was easy to set up and the number of calls is now down to about 4-5 daily. Progress! The red buttons to block name /block number are a great idea BUT when we push them nothing happens. If I try to push it for a longer time, it gives me the list of blocked names or numbers. I’ve made multiple attempts to add numbers to the blocked list but it works maybe 10% of the time. Thus after a month of use, we’ve only been able to block about 5 of names and numbers. I even unplugged the unit to reboot it hoping that would help but no luck. There’s also no “back” or “escape” feature so you have to wait 30ish seconds after each attempt for the device to go back to the Home Screen before trying again. This wastes a lot of time and is frustrating for users. For this I find it a mediocre solution especially given the cost of the unit. I wish I could use the full functionality but for now I have a halfway functional item so I’m giving it a mediocre rating.

Been using this since Oct '25. I had one of the older model big red button ones for several years which worked pretty well for its specs until it began hanging up the phone after two rings regardless of who was calling (I found out after I threw it out after its years of faithful service there's a workaround for this when it starts doing it). Anyway, the new big red button model I purchased in Sept '25 to replace it unfortunately has newer version software/hardware which causes it to be incompatible with my setup - thus I returned it. Then I got this Digitone to see what it'd do. Works great and is very effective. . Also shows (and you can block by) caller name which big red button doesn't do. This is especially satisfying as it can block city names which spammers use - this cut down the nuisance calls considerably. Many options/variables can be simply programmed and the instruction manual isn't too bad if you have your brain engaged. One heads up for those using a landline phone to remotely access their automated driveway gates: this blocker blocks a visitor’s call from the gate and, in addition, will not allow remote operation from the phone the blocker is attached to. An extension phone elsewhere on the same landline can control the gate remotely but it doesn’t get a visitor’s call, either. Excellent technical service (in the USA) at Digitone suggested I try a couple of codes hopefully guessing they might work, but they sadly didn't as the issue is really gate-related. As an aside, my old model big red button did not interfere with the gate operation but their new model does. As the current version of big red button and Digitone's both interfere with the gate operation, I’m choosing to use the Digitone as the name blocking function is great. My gate controller is a 20 year old Chamberlain/Sentex Crown Jewel and I can’t say if this issue effects any other makes/models.

This call blocker is excellent at blocking unwanted calls, such as "Unavailable", but this is the second time one of these devices has died on me after one year of reliable service, as now it won't power on while plugged into a surge protector. Had enough. Switching to a different company's product.

Let's get real about our modern world. Ingenious telephone scammers are now a fact of life, just like rainy days are a fact of life. For those with a landline, managing this modern reality is mandatory for peace of mind. An effective call blocker is a good way to do this. I've tried a few. My experience is that inexpensive call blockers which solely depend on algorithms to block spammers are simply too problematic. Their algorithms always block legitimate calls and allow spammers. I was looking for a device where the algorithm could be over-ridden by the user to allow legitimate calls, something most inexpensive blockers simply do not do. However the Digitone device's algorithm can be overridden and the user can customize both white-lists and black-lists. But be warned: it's complex to do. While the Digitone device only works on a landline (not a smartphone), it is an effective call blocker. Nonetheless, if there were ever a product where one needs to be told RTFM, this would be that product. The Amazon website barely scratches the surface of the blocker's many features (likely Amazon's website has bandwidth considerations). So I went to the Digitone website with my many questions. At that website I found the admonition to DL and read the pdf manual to understand what the blocker actually can do. But could I find said manual? Eventually I did, but it ain't easy. Hey Digitone, redesign your website. The pdf manual is a bloody pain to find, although once found it's easy to DL. Instead, make the manual easy to find. The thoroughness of the manual was what sold me on this multi-featured call blocker. It was after reading the manual three times that I came to realize this call blocker would do exactly what I wanted. DOS weenies take note: wildcards can be used to block or allow large sets of phone numbers and even area codes. The good news here is because this is a US company the manual is written in standard comprehensible English (but no other language). My lone phone call to the company's support line to clarify a couple minor points was handled quickly and completely by someone who could speak fluent US English. But again, fair warning. Even with a good manual and good support, this blocker is still quite complicated to use. A person better be very comfortable with intricate technology to use this device successfully. For the record, the blocker doesn't get all the scam phone calls. Nobody's invented that device yet, nor is anyone likely to do so in the next few years. Spammers are not only clever but insidious. This blocker just gets most of them. But understand this: it's the customizations which the *USER* does which govern how effective this blocker is. That's why RTFM is the mantra here. As thorough as the manual is, if one has a VOIP phone (as I do), know that the manual is weak on VOIP advice. Be prepared to fiddle around with series and parallel phone hookups (Google the difference) until you find the one that works for your setup. The manual's advice to always use a serial configuration was flat-out wrong for my VOIP phone setup. By trial and error I found a complex mix of serial and parallel configurations work best for me. Someone else's VOIP phone may well differ. Those with a traditional Ma Bell landline likely won't have this issue. FWIW the manual seems to be written for the more common POTS phone. So do I still get spam calls? Yes, a few. But I consider a 95% reduction in spam calls to be well worth the extra bucks this blocker costs. After all in the end you do get what you pay for. The cheap blockers are just that: cheap. And I don't mind the required customizing of this blocker that I have to do. If I have to invest a bit of time and creative thinking to make effective white- and black-lists to over-ride the Digitone's algorithm, it's time well spent.

A GREAT investment. We were getting up to a dozen scam calls everyday. It took me a while to figure out the best programming for the device but, now that I have, ZERO scam calls. Worth every penny!

Il est tellement efficace que vous ne recevrez plus d'appel. Et si vous activez les 3 codes pour recevoir des téléphones importants, alors il ne filtre plus rien !

The call blocker may or may not do as the manual says. It may reset for no apparent reason. It may lose a setting. A feature that worked before no longer works. Tech support may or may not hang up on you. The product and the people both need more refinement.
