block incoming call from a specific number?

cristiv's picture

Hello,
I looked all over but can't find a way for this:
how can I block a number that keeps ringing. I need it to be suspended/get the busy tone or simply deny it?
Any help is appreciated.
my freepbx 2.3.1.3
tks,
Chris

Blacklist

tomsyr's picture

Have you enabled Blacklist? If so, you can enter the CID there, or you can dial *30 and enter the CID.
HTH,

true, true

Hello,
Damn, totally forgot about that there's a module for this. I installed it and entered the number, it should work.
Thanks!
Chris


Is there a way to forward

Is there a way to forward Blacklisted calls to a specific IVR? (like Telemarketer Torture IVR)


Set up an inbound route

KodaK's picture

Set up an inbound route based on CID. You have to start the CID match with an underscore. For example, if you want to send the number 800-555-1212 into TT, make your CID match on "_8005551212" (without quotes) and then just route to TT.

As of right now there's no way to route all blacklisted calls like this, but my understanding is that this is being worked on. You can probably check the tracker and find out, though.


While it would be great fun

While it would be great fun to send telemarketing calls to "telemarketer torture," it seems mute to me. The real person is probably not there, since some phone server probably dialed the call, and then it ties up one of your lines for the duration of the torture.

I send them the Zapateller tones and ss-noservice message and hang up in hopes that their dialer will kill my number from their list when this happens.

it doesn't really matter to

newnewuser's picture

it doesn't really matter to me where i send them, what i don't understand is how to do the blacklisting. Based on the comment from KodaK, i need to:

1) create an inbound route
2) under CID put the number with an underscore in front (_123456789)
3) route to telemarketer torture or whatever

So far so good, but what if i want to blacklist a range of numbers? for example anything starting with 500?


Set up an inbound route and

jmullinix's picture

Set up an inbound route and make the CID match pattern:

_500X.

The underscore is important. This will match any CID that starts with 500.
