Over time, as your number is removed from more and more databases, you’ll see a dramatic decrease in the number of annoying telemarketing calls you receive. Instead of connecting you to a salesperson, the computer stores your number as disconnected in its database. When you or your answering machine pick up a call, the TeleZapper emits a special tone that “fools” the computer into thinking your number is disconnected. The TeleZapper uses the technology of telemarketers’ automatic dialing equipment against them. Here are instructions to switch from basic to advanced privacy or to disable the feature.Ī. The advanced level of privacy will switch the TeleZapper feature to all three tones of the disconnected signal and will “zap” even more telemarketing calls.

At this level, the TeleZapper feature will emit a single tone, which is the first of three (3) tones for the disconnected signal. Your phone is shipped with the basic level of privacy activated, which will help with the majority of telemarketing calls. The TeleZapper feature in your phone has two levels of privacy to help “zap” computer dialed telemarketing calls.
