Spam calls got you by the knickers?
One-digit CAPTCHA on your line. Robots can't press it. Your real customers can. Live in under an hour. Cancel anytime. No contract. No app.
Keep your number. Keep your carrier. Just stop the bots.
Three steps. No app. No hardware. No AI. Just phone buttons.
Forward your existing business number to your Proteus number. Takes about 30 seconds in your phone settings. Keep your same number. Nothing changes for your customers.
"This number has call control by Proteus. Press [random number] to get through." One button press. Five seconds. That's it.
Real people press the number and leave a message or get connected. Robocalls, autodialers, and debt collectors can't press the right key, so they just hang up.
Automated dialers blast thousands of numbers per hour. They can play a recording, but they can't listen to a prompt and press a random button. They fail every time.
Your real customers hear a short prompt, press one button, and they're through. No phone tree. No "press 1 for sales, press 2 for support." Just one number and they're talking to you.
This isn't an AI product. It's a pure phone system. No inference, no GPUs, no usage spikes. The cost per screened call is fractions of a penny. That's why we can price it at $9.97.
The other guys rely on blocklists, voiceprint databases, or $48/month dedicated landlines. We rely on one digit.

If you're a contractor, you know the drill. Your phone rings while you're on a ladder or under a sink. You pull off your gloves, check the screen. Unknown number. Could be a customer. Could be the GC calling about that bid.
So you answer. And it's a robot trying to sell you an extended warranty.
That happens 10 to 15 times a day. Every time, you stop what you're doing, lose your focus, and waste 30 seconds of your life. Over a month, that's hours of lost productivity on garbage calls.
Call Control fixes it. The robots never reach you. The real calls always do.
No contracts. No setup fees. Cancel anytime.
For most one-person operations
For busy lines or small teams
Never think about it again
Most people say it takes about 3 seconds and they actually prefer it. They hear one short prompt, press a number, and they're through. No phone tree, no hold music, no "your call is important to us." Just one button and they're talking to a real voicemail or getting connected to you.
No. You keep your existing business number. All you do is set up call forwarding to your Proteus number. Your customers, your Google listing, your business cards, nothing changes. If you ever turn it off, just remove the forwarding.
Cancel anytime. There's no contract. Remove the call forwarding from your business line and you're back to the way things were. Takes 30 seconds.
When a real caller passes the screen, they get forwarded straight to your phone. They're automatically whitelisted so next time they call, it rings through with no screen.
The Do Not Call list doesn't stop illegal robocallers. They ignore it. Call Control actually blocks the call in real time. If a robot can't press a button, it can't reach you. Period.
Yes. It works with any phone that supports call forwarding: cell phones, landlines, VoIP systems, Google Voice, you name it. No app to install, no hardware to buy.
