PhoneTray blocks incoming calls by answering the call and playing a message to the caller. We call it 'zapping'. PhoneTray blocks unwanted calls after the first ring. PhoneTray comes with several useful zap messages. In addition you can record your own messages or use any audio files from the Internet. Some of the zap messages included with PhoneTray contain phone company recordings for disconnected numbers (Disconnected.wav), circuits busy (CircuitsBusy.wav) and so on. After hearing such messages most robocallers will stop calling your number after a few calls. You can also play messages containing busy signal (Busy.wav or FastBusy.wav) or long rings (Rings.wav) to thwart telemarketers or other unwanted callers.
Tip:
PhoneTray doesn't block calls from your contacts or numbers on your white list.
PhoneTray allows you to select a zap message using the message selection box:
