The only service that proudly exists for years without any improvement but being an over enthusiast is perhaps the DNC or Do Not Call service. Have you ever benefited from that? If so that is a news I will like to publish in my blog. Anyway, what I am here for is to tell you about a service that will work as a virtual receptionist for your phone calls and filter them out! Yes, the service is truecall.

True calls intercepts all the calls you get in your land line before they reach you, checks if it is from listed family members or friends and then forwards them to you. If you are a telemarketer, sorry sir. You will hear a cold automated message.

Moreover if ll doesn’t recognize the number, it asks for the caller’s name and number and then puts them on hold, ringing you with the information to see if you’d like to take the call. If you don’t, add it to your block list and never hear from the number again. Isn’t it neat?

But beware, the next time you are home watching baseball matches and your girl friend calls up, what will you do? lol.

Price 

The price is about  £99.99 (incl. VAT) or roughly 160$. Its cheaper than hiring a receptionist. But hey, spare a thought for them too, especially in time of recession.
