I wonder if that device works in Germany, too!?

Hm, 3 Euros per month versus 100 dollars/75 Euros once. It needs over six years until buying the product has amortized it's price.

But in 4 or 5 years it may be broken, and I would need to buy another one, again 100 dollars (plus shipping and taxes).

I have leased my computer modem for that reason, getting a new one when the old one breaks, and getting a new model every 3 years anyway. Seems to make more sense that way, financially.

It'S no device but a service by the telephone company. It allows me to establish black- and whitelists with single numbers or number-areas (all numbers from one city, for example), or combine the two, it is beign done via telephone code remote control, and is pretty easy. The calls then get filtered and blocked in their centre and do not reach me. It is also possible to combine black- and whitelists, for example blocking all numbers from the area of Gelsenkirchen since they have so many callcentres there, but allowing one single number of a possible friend living there passing through. I can also block ALL incoming calls, and just defining those numbers I want to allow passing - an option I feel highly attracted by.

I'm an island junkey.

Anyhow, ask your telephone provider.

If you use voice-over-IP or any computer modem, there could be options in the modem software to block numbers. I read that some modems come with that option. With telephoning done via computer, there surely are options for blocking numbers without needing external services.

Hm. The telephone company now getting 3 bucks to launch that service, also earns money by supporting the callcenter in the first. They cash twice. Wrong world, but I cannot help it.
