Dear Watch Member,
The National Trading Standards (NTS) Scams Team has secured funding to provide a limited number of free* call blocking units to help protect people in receipt of scam and nuisance phone calls on their landline phone.
You can apply on behalf of someone else with their consent, or you can apply for yourself.
What Is A Call Blocker?
The call blocking units available are trueCall Secure+. A call blocker is a unit that filters unwanted scam and nuisance phone calls from a landline phone (this unit does not work with mobile phones).
In previous call blocker projects run by the NTS Scams Team, these units have blocked 91% of scam and nuisance calls.
The unit plugs into an existing landline phone and phone line, it can work alongside broadband and/or lifeline/pendant devices that are already installed.
You can find out more about call blocking units, how they work and watch some short animations on how the unit works here.

Please note there are a very limited number of units available, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
