BT 8600 DECT Cordless Phone With Advanced Call Blocker / Answering Machine - Twin

This product is end of life

The BT 8600 Advanced Call Blocker, powered by trueCall's award winning technology, offers users complete control over which calls they want to take and those they wish to block Call Guardian: The BT 8600 includes BT's new Call Guardian, which means you'll never have to speak to another cold caller again. For all other calls Call Guardian asks the caller to say their name and then asks the user whether they want to block the call without speaking to the caller.

Call Guardian

The BT 8600 includes BT’s new Call Guardian, which means you’ll never have to speak to another cold caller again by Call Guardian screening incoming calls and numbers on your contact list get straight through whilst numbers you have blocked are rejected (selected by user).

Block by number

The BT 8600 can block 1000 individual numbers, meaning that you really can avoid speaking to the people you don't want to. Over time, the phone learns which callers you do and don't want to hear.

Block by call type

Choose the type of calls you want to block. For example, mobile, international, withheld, unavailable or payphone numbers can all be blocked. Plus you can even block numbers by location (i.e. Use the area code or suffix).

Do Not Disturb

For those times when you just want some peace and quiet, switch on Do Not Disturb so that your phone won't ring or light up. If you want key friends and family to still get through, they can so, by tagging them as VIP's in your address book.
