A device called TrueCall (http://www.truecall.co.uk) does all the hard
work for you. It intercepts all your calls in a very flexible way: you
can star or block numbers so they are always or never put straight
through, allow only close family to call you between 2300 and 0700,
otherwise leave a message, ask number withheld numbers to leave a
short message which you can listen to before deciding whether to take
the call, ask overseas numbers to press a randomly generated number
within five seconds, etc etc.
We do not yet have one (less than £100) but it is on our Santa List.
Anyone out there got one? Do let me, or perhaps everyone, know what it
is like.
