Truecall: Stops Nuisance Phone Calls
trueCall will filter out nuisance phone calls from telemarketers and (better still) debt collectors.When someone calls, trueCall checks the number against a stored list of friends. If the number checks out, the call goes through. If not, it will ask the caller for their name and put them on hold while trueCall calls your phone. When you pick up, you can decide if you want to take the call, but by this stage most telemarketers hang-up. Reclaim your phone again!

May 8th, 2009 at 11:48 amI would have thought the bacon thing would have been higher on the list. Of course, spy cams and phone call avoidance are eternally useful.

I worked in Denmark for a while and couldn’t believe the bacon isn’t actually that good “we send all the best stuff to England” they told me.

May 8th, 2009 at 9:31 pmI go with the tap, simply because it takes a long time to get the water right. Plus checking email from the tub, who wouldn’t want that?
