Call screening

Call screening

Call screening is the process of evaluating the characteristics of a telephone call before a conversation.

Some methods may include:

* listening to the message being recorded on an answering machine,
* checking a Calling Identity Display device,
* checking the time or date.

In addition, in The US and Canada, Call Screen is the name of a feature offered by the telephone companies that allows a customer to establish a list of numbers; anyone calling the customer from those numbers will receive an automatic message indicating that the call is not being accepted. Another name, not usually used for marketing purposes, is "Selective Call Rejection".
