You’re going to run out of blocks.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nope, I won’t run out & here’s why:

1. I use the “Global Block Method” so all I have to do is block within my own area code.

2. If I get multiple calls from a particular ‘exchange’ (1st 3 numbers after my area code), I block by exchange rather than each individual number, which saves spaces .. ex. (123)-456-#### (# is a ‘wild card’ & blocks all numbers after ‘456’ exchange, thus entire exchange is blocked. We have certain exchanges that are problematic & the spammers change numbers a lot, but are still calling from the same exchange - blocking this way stops it & I only have to use 1 space.

3. I have space for 1,000 blocked numbers

4. Digitone has a “Blocked Number List Auto Delete” option and will delete on First In, First Out processing, IF I ever get to 1,000 blocked numbers (highly unlikely) & need to free up space.

I have had Digitone Call Blockers since the first one came out ... i.e. for YEARS. I know how they work. The first one had much less space for blocked numbers (30, I think). I was still able to make it work for us and stop the 6-12 spam/robo calls per day. The next one had 150 blocked spaces which was great (had only used up to about 90 blocked exchanges/numbers) - this particular Digitone was ‘killed’ by a lightning strike in August, along with the phone itself, so we had to get a new one, which was an upgrade. This latest upgrade has 1,000 spaces for blocked numbers - but for the lightning strike, I’d still be using the one with 150 spaces for blocked numbers.

I would suggest you read the FAQ on Digitone - it will answer a lot of your questions:
