My speculation is that the TeleZapper worked, and I was taken off of quite a few lists, but now there are new lists out there that include my name. I'm now suddenly again getting lots of calls with no one there. It's been over a year now, and it's just been in the last two weeks that things changed again. That could mean one of two things: Either the TeleZapper was working, and I was really was being taken off the lists, or telemarketers stopped using the kind of equipment that's stopped by the TeleZapper. During this first period, I still got to talk to a lot of telemarketers because they weren't using equipment that the TeleZapper had any effect upon.Īfter about three or four months, I realized that there were far fewer times that I answered the phone, and no one was there. It took some time before any of those beeps my TeleZapper made had any effect on whether or not I was going to get called again. My personal experience was that initially there was no change in the number of calls. But in all fairness, you will be removed from a few lists that might have gotten used again. Doesn't do much good to be removed from a list that will never be used again. But after that one time aren't we deleted from the lists they all use? Well, no. Okay, so we have to answer the phone once. The result of not answering the phone is the same with or without the TeleZapper. If you (or your answering machine) does not answer the ringing phone, the beep-tone is never heard by the telemarketer's equipment. If the telemarketer is using the right equipment to recognize that tone as being a non-working number, the telemarketer will automatically disconnect from the call, and theoretically delete your phone number from the list it is using. You (or your answering machine) answers the call, and the TeleZapper beeps. The way it works is this: The telemarketer calls you.

But the real question is does what the product actually do stand up to it's marketing as a way to stop telemarketers from calling you. The product does exactly what it is designed to actually do, and it does so reliably. ( More customer reviews)I actually have the earlier model of the TeleZapper - the one that's the size of a small answering machine.
