Immediately effective in stopping those annoying 3rd party calls. Gave this to the parents; they loved it.
I called again and spoke to someone else. OK, now I get the tone. They should take this item off the market. The unit came dead on arrival. Off I go to put in another 6 dollars for a battery. He was very unresponsive and said if telemarketers weren't calling it must be working. Well the calls kept coming in.
Only 2 volts from the required 3 volts. I opened it up and tested the battery.
I told him that it didn't make any tones as described in the manual. No offer was made to send it back only to go to the dealer with it.
It doesn't do anything but make a tone when you pick up your phone. It was determined that it indeed arrived DOA.
Calls keep coming in, the thing is a dust collector.Maybe people will read this and save money and frustration. I called the support number for the manufacturer.
End of conversation.
Anonymous calls are NOT blocked out and telemarketers have new dialing technology.It does emit a series of tones when an an unidentified call comes in but has little effect. This device is simple to hook up but the technology is outdated.
Great product and seller. I received in the time promised and it works great.
This phone set had a cordless phone integrated on a fax/copier. I have owned two different Telezappers and have been pleased with them. The smaller, slender model (the picture will fool you, it's really small.). I tried to email Royal Appliances about this, but when I used their web site, I got "page not found."
If you purchase phones of different brands, but similar to this type unit, it may not work well with the Telezapper. I think it has to do with the cordless phone not being integrated with the base unit. This phone set has a "base unit" with copy and fax, and the phone is a separate unit, plugged into an electrical outlet, operating on a "wireless" from the base. The telezapper "tone" is delayed to the point where it is ineffective.
Also, the larger model (the one with the cord) emits only the first tone of the SIT. I recently purchased a Panasonic Phone/Fax/Copier model KX-FG6550 and the Telezapper does not work with this phone set. The larger model uses an electric cord. No problems, worked great.
I previously used both models on a Panasonic Phone/Fax/Copier model KX-FPC95. uses a CR2030 battery. The smaller model (the one with the battery) gives you a choice of either the first tone of the SIT or the entire 3 note sequence, which is more effective.
