Such a robust solution to screening calls and taking messages. We got IMP for my 80+ year old mother who needs her land line - but that’s a double edged sword since mom (fighting dementia) will answer... See more

My mother is an elderly lady suffering some dementia. She has been the victim of numerous scams and also fallen prey to pledging to many charities. I tried two other phone blocking systems bu... See more

In my specific case, there was no gray list. I needed the landline to accept only calls from predetermined numbers and once I entered them, life became a breeze. I used to get, on average, TEN harassm... See more

About imp

Written by the company

imp stops all unwanted calls on your home phone.

With imp, no spam, scam, robo, or any other kind of unwanted call will make your phone ring ever again.

The imp call-screening system consists of three parts:

  • The imp box: custom smart-home hardware, designed by old-school landline experts to stop unwanted calls.

  • the imp app: our smartphone app where you can see (and control) everything that is happening with your landline.

  • Greenlist Technology: our secret sauce call-screening technology. At setup, imp uses Greenlist Technology to sync your smartphone contacts with your landline phone.

imp works with you to assign calls to 1 of 3 lists:

Wanted callers, who imp lets ring through, and where imp can also take a message if you want. These callers make up your Greenlist.

Callers where imp silently takes a message. These callers make up your Greylist.

And unwanted callers, where imp just hangs up on them. This is your Redlist.

With imp, the only calls you get are the calls you want.

Works as advertised. 5 stars!

We were tired on constant annoying calls on our landline. Imp solved the problem. Our phone rings much less frequently, and then only with callers we have preapproved. Adding telephone numbers to the blocked red list or the approved green list is very easy - and very satisfying. No more calls offering auto warranties! Support from the folks at Imp was prompt and very helpful.

Does exactly what it claims to do!

The imp is an amazing device that does just what you want. It screens out all those annoying calls while still letting you know who called and when. The answering machine feature is also great. I was on the other side of the country when I got a notification of a call from my 90 year old mother. Previously, it would have gone unattended on my home answering machine until I returned 3 weeks later. As it was, I listened to the call through the app, got right back to her and helped her deal with a minor emergency.

Great product and service. Tech support has also been great.

Keep up the good work!

Great product!

Great product! Easy setup and installation. Imp quickly captured my contacts and I set the rules for which calls ring through and which go straight to message. I can’t decide which feature I like better, the call blocking or the remote answering machine for my land line I now have on my cell.

Finally... some peace and quiet!

I have had a spectacular experience turning on imp and letting it work its magic. Now when the phone rings i actually "know" it is someone i want to speak with and talking on the phone is once again a joy, rather than feeling my anxiety go way up every time the phone rings. I cannot recommend this enough. I only wish i had it 10 years ago.

Peace and quiet.

I've been using the imp box during the test period for a few months... Love It! My phone is so blissfully quiet, except when someone I want to hear from calls. The first time I'm not dreading election time phone calls in years.
