Fantastic cold call blocking (had the duo 6mnths and not had one cold call since!)
2 year guarantee included
Block up to 100% of nuisance calls with the BT 8500 digital telephone and answering machine with Call Guardian. This functional phone features a modern design, a 1.8-inch colour screen, 60 minutes of message recording time, a 200 contact phone book, a long battery life and the ability to block up to 1,000 individual numbers.
Same price in Argos & Currys at mo but only 1yr guarantee I think.
I managed to get the duo set site for £40, but and extra handset for £15 sounds a bargin to me.
Edit: Works on Virgin & BT lines with caller ID enabled

I must add, it helps if you have caller ID enabled on your phone line
(Currys have the twin/duo set up for £48 at mo, again, well worth the money.)
£54.99 on Amazon as well, but again only standard 1yr guarantee, John Lewis = 2yr

Does enabling cold call blocking also block, say, a call from an old friend whose number you haven't loaded on to your address book?

No, you can have unknown numbers come straight thro, or screened (caller has to say their name then you can choose to answer or not)

we were getting plagued with nuisance cold calls - bought these - not had one since.
You need caller ID and the numbers you save in the phone memory can come straight through.
Everyone else has to say their name and you can accept/reject...but it does block the automated diallers.
Actually realise how little we use the home phone once all the cold calls stop!

Thanks, udhuk. What happens if I'm not around to say nay or yay. Does the old friend in my example get the bum's rush from the machine?
