To be honest, I had doubts that this would work when I placed my order, but those doubts quickly vanished about an hour or so after I plugged it in and realized the phone didn't ring during dinner! For the first few days, I had only plugged in 5 numbers belonging to my worst offenders, plus the Withheld/Private and VOIP/Unavailable mass blocks. Not a single "bad" call came through with just this handful of numbers manually entered. After a few days I manually entered another 20 of my repeat nuisance callers. The numbers are extremely easy to enter manually, and so far I have not had a chance or the need or the desire to use the Block Now button. I've had the V202 unit installed for 10 days now and the only "bad" call that got through was a new scammer who called for the first time today. He's now blocked. Vaporized. Gone. Poof. Only 6 blocked calls show on the CPR's display, which for a 10 day period is absurdly low for me. For this reason I'd suspect that most of the callers are getting blocked in the background via the factory pre-programmed numbers embedded in the machine. I'm in the US so apparently the global numbers that are programmed into the unit are quite effective on this side of the pond.
I have an AT&T land line (ok, call me T-Rex), and an old non-DECT Panasonic answering machine/base unit with 3 additional wireless handsets (ok, I got that phone system before the dinos ruled the earth). I was afraid I'd have issues with this outdated configuration, but it works just fine. I installed the CPR unit in series as recommended (not in parallel using the splitter), using the Line 2 / Tel 2 ports per the instructions. Installation took 10 seconds (2 minutes if you include moving the dresser away from the phone jack and sweeping up the dust bunnies). I have had no problems at all since installing the unit. Caller ID still works on all my wireless phones, the Caller ID voice annunciation still works fine, the answering machine kicks in just like always for the non-blocked calls, my phone's Caller ID still keeps a detailed record of all incoming calls (blocked and unblocked), and "good" calls come through without a hitch.
My only slight regret is that the phone does ring once before the call gets blocked. This isn't much of a problem and I heard it has something to do with how my phone company sends the ring signal ahead of the caller ID information (can anyone confirm that?). If there's a work-around to eliminate the single ring I'd love to hear it, but all of the other features are working flawlessly so I'm afraid to tamper with success and can certainly live with the single ring. Besides, many of the calls come when I'm not home so I don't always hear the ring anyway, and my answering machine doesn't allow the blocked callers to leave a message. So very often, the only way I know a nuisance call was attempted is when I see the call record on my phone's Caller ID.
I've read the other reviews that talk about peace and quiet being restored by CPR Call Blocker V202, and I thought those comments were a bit dramatic. But now that the unit is installed and working beautifully, I really can't think of another way to describe the feeling of NOT having the telemarketers and other undesirables constantly invading my castle. And speaking of other undesirables, I'm very much looking forward to enjoying some peace and quiet during the upcoming political election cycle! No more telemarketers, scammers, or politicians..... imagine that! The world is suddenly a better place. Thanks, CPR Call Blocker!

GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY
This product will deserve my attention with a couple future updates. I've had this device plugged in for 6 days now and HALLELUJAH it's doing what it says it would! The first day I connected the Call Blocker it immediately stopped 3 calls. My phone never rang through for 2 of those 3 calls so they must've been among those pre programmed into the device. As of today, 9/26, this device has blocked the following types of calls on its own with zero assistance from me: 3 withheld phone numbers, 1 VOIP and 1 unavailable. Additionally, there were 2 calls (when I wasn't home) which weren't on the pre programmed list..not a problem because I easily blocked those after I got home. Before I connected the CPR V5000 I was getting, on average, 3 scam/robo calls a day. I say average because some days it was more (several in a row, 10-30 mins apart), some days it was 1 or none. I haven't received a scam/robo call in 3 days! Initially, I was fully prepared to manually enter the 101 numbers of scam/robo callers I received before I got my Call Blocker. Instead, I decided I would get a more accurate idea of the blocker's performance if I waited at least a couple days to see how well the Call Blocker blocked all on its own. I'm SO glad I waited, it would've been a huge waste of my time to enter 101 scammer phone numbers. If this little thing continues to work like it has so far, I know exactly who I'll buy another one for as a Christmas gift. Because I'm currently so impressed with this Call Blocker, I'll update my review a couple more times on it's performance...the upcoming Christmas season should be a good test. So far my only disappointment is the Call Blocker appears to WORK SO WELL that I haven't yet been able to push the "Block Now" button as my phone is ringing. I thought by now my need for robocall revenge would've been satisfied by pushing "BLOCK NOW" as my phone is ringing. No calls in 3 days, my suspense builds, I'm ready.My connection details: Frontier analog landline, subscribed to name & number caller ID with Frontier, subscribed to voice mail with Frontier, home phone is an older Panasonic KX-TG6644 Dect 6.0 Digital Cordless Answering System which still works flawlessly. My connection is: phone line from the wall connects to LINE on back of Call Blocker and the supplied black cable goes from TEL on Call Blocker to LINE on back of my Panasonic's base unit.

Update: I've now blocked 24 numbers, I have a "live" not robot caller spammer calling every day from different phone numbers, today I blocked him 13 times! It's very satisfying to block him but I'm astounded he keeps phoning when I am clearly not going to enter into conversation with him or buy anything. I looked it up online and apparently when the same person uses different numbers its called ID spoofing. Hopefully he'll run out of numbers soon lol. Great little device, very pleased with it.
