Ever wondered what happens when you press the “Block Now” button on your CPR Call Blocker? Behind that single tap, your device is quietly storing and managing scam numbers — protecting your home every time your phone rings.
Here’s how landline call blockers record, store, and handle blocked numbers to safeguard you from robocalls and telemarketers.
How Do Landline Call Blockers Store Blocked Numbers?
Each time you block a call, your device saves that number in its internal memory, creating a blacklist unique to your phone line.
- CPR Call Blocker V5000 – stores up to 5,000 blocked numbers.
- CPR Call Blocker V100K – includes 100,000 preloaded scam numbers plus space for your personal list.
Even if the device is unplugged or the power goes out, all stored data remains safe and intact.
Summary: Call blockers maintain an offline database of blocked numbers, protecting your phone even during outages.
What Happens When You Block a Number?
Here’s what goes on under the hood:
- The device records the caller’s ID.
- It saves that number in your personal blocked list.
- Future calls from that number are automatically intercepted.
- A record appears in your device’s call log for review.
This process takes less than a second — and once stored, the number can’t reach your phone again.
Summary: Once blocked, a number is stored instantly and prevented from ever ringing through again.
How Do Preloaded Scam Lists Work?
Pre-programmed call blockers come ready to defend your line from day one.
Devices like CPR Call Blocker V100K are preloaded with tens of thousands of verified scam and robocall numbers collected from:
- FCC and FTC databases.
- Telecom carrier reports.
- User-submitted scam data.
These numbers are known sources of robocalls, fake tech support, and IRS or Social Security scams.
Summary: Preloaded scam lists filter out thousands of known robocallers, giving you instant protection from day one.
Can You Manage Blocked Numbers Manually?
Yes—call blockers are designed for flexibility. Users can:
- Manually unblock numbers if added by mistake.
- Add new numbers manually using the keypad.
- View stored entries through on-device logs.
- Reset the device to clear all history if needed.
Many families use this feature to allow caregivers or relatives to manage the block list for older loved ones.
Summary: You have full control—view, delete, or add numbers anytime to keep your phone secure and accessible.
What Happens When the Memory Is Full?
When your device reaches its storage limit:
- It automatically overwrites the oldest blocked numbers, keeping space for new threats.
- The pre-programmed scam list stays intact.
- You can also perform a manual reset if you want to start fresh.
This ensures your device always prioritizes the newest and most relevant scam numbers.
Summary: When storage fills, older numbers are replaced automatically, keeping protection current.
Are Blocked Numbers Stored Securely?
Yes—your data is completely private. Landline call blockers operate offline, meaning:
- No internet or cloud connection.
- No data transmission to third parties.
- No risk of hacking or leaks.
All blocked numbers remain locally stored within your device, giving total control to the homeowner.
Summary: Blocked numbers are stored locally, not online, ensuring 100% privacy and security.
How Often Should You Review Your Blocked List?
It’s a good idea to check your blocked list every few months. This helps ensure:
- No important numbers were added by accident.
- You maintain space for new scam numbers.
- Your whitelist (trusted numbers) remains current.
Summary: Review your blocked list regularly to maintain effective and accurate protection.
