imp vs. competition
Nobody wants an unwanted landline telephone call.
No company has a solution like imp:
- 1. Allow the calls you want, and silently handle the rest.
- 2. Manage your landline phone anytime and anywhere.
Other companies have created solutions that block unwanted calls.
But allowing is different from blocking, and has very different results.

After over a year of operations, imp has the largest amount of data about wanted, unwanted, and unknown callers on landlines.
This data gives us unique insights into the effectiveness of different landline solutions.
Every ring means a wanted call?
Only 21% of the calls passed along by call blockers are actually wanted calls.
Call blockers only eliminate bad guys who call back from the same number.
With a call blocker, 4 out of every 5 times the phone rings, you don’t want the call.
With imp, when the phone rings, you know it is a wanted call. 100% of the time. Simple as that.
Stop 100% of the bad guys before they connect?
The best call blockers can stop up to 16% of the bad callers right out of the box.
After that, you have to hear/listen/connect to each and every new number, figure out if they are a bad caller, and then block them.
Aging parents often have a hard time figuring out if a caller is bad. With imp, 100% of the bad callers are stopped. And stopped before the phone rings.
Anytime, anywhere access to messages?
Why do you have to go into a room and press a button on some hardware to get your phone messages?
Shouldn’t they just come to you?
With imp, messages and notifications are delivered to you, wherever you are in the world.
Remote caregiver management of a phone?
We all love our parents. They are, after all, our parents.
But sometimes they need a little help.
imp makes it safe for them to continue to use their landline phone.
imp is the only product designed for remote management of a landline.
Decide who can make their phone ring. Let them participate, or not, in the management of the phone. Learn who is calling and how often. Make sure the bad guys cannot get through.
Do Not Disturb, Allow All Calls, Urgent, 911 response?
Sometimes you really want a call. (Delivery person)
Sometimes you really don’t want a call. (Family dinner)
If you dial out to 911, you certainly do not want any calls blocked.
imp has the most complete set of call setting features. From Do Not Disturb, to Allow All Calls, to Urgent Callers.
And each is easily adjustable right from the smartphone app.
Big Red Button to block calls?
imp does not have a big red button to hit after an unwanted call.
Sorry.
But that is the whole point.
Blocking is something that happens AFTER an unwanted call.
There are 3 billion phone numbers the bad guys can try. Do you really want to get up off the sofa, and go hit a button 3 billion times?
imp stops all the bad guys BEFORE they make your phone ring. You've already won.
On a final note, some call blocking products have started creating “allow” lists.
But...
Their process is slow and cumbersome.
The instructional videos last 1:30 just to handle one number. Feel free to watch it below.
In addition, most products simply hang up on the callers that are not on the allow list. Which results in a lot of missed connections.
This is how you add a caller to a VTech smart landline phone's "Allow List." Imagine doing this 100 times.
It will take you longer to read this than to add an allowed caller to your Greenlist. Simply swipe and click.
