Triangle Communications is excited to announce that all our residential phone members will now have telemarketing call screening for FREE, it was previously $5 a month.
Triangle will offer this service to all of you starting 10/1/2023. This is an Opt-In program and once you enable the telemarketing call screening, it will stop calls from coming into your phone if they do not press “1” to get through before you answer the call.
Below is a limited FAQ on how to use the feature and more are available on our website and in your phone book.
How to enable Telemarketing Call Screening:
Dial *95 and from the main menu press “6”.
Once enabled, how will it affect people calling me?
Once you enable the feature on your line, the first time someone calls you they will receive a call screening message. After they get the message the first time, and press “1” when prompted by the call screening message, they will not need to do so again when calling from that number.
What numbers should I add before they call?
If you receive any automated calls, you need to ask them what number they call from and manually whitelist these numbers. Examples would be notifications from schools, emergency services, work, etc.
How do I add numbers before they call me, so they do not receive the call screening message?
Dial *95 to access the main menu and press”4” to add numbers to your known list. After pressing “4”, you will be prompted to add the number to your list of allowed callers. Please make sure you press all ten (10) digits for the number you are adding. You will receive a confirmation recording that the number was added. After the recording plays, you will be taken back to the main menu. To add another number, repeat the steps above.
What can I do if a telemarketer call makes it through the initial screening?
After hanging up the phone with them, press “0” and they will be added to the blocked list.
