Author Block or reroute call based on incoming number
Rhodes, Geoff

2007-01-30, 1:11 pm

Our receptionists keep getting calls from "402-930-3659", which turns
out is a Mailing List company out of Canada.. She has asked them
several times to not call us and to take us off their list. Yesterday
they called so many time they were taking up 5 lines on the the
Attendant Console.

I know someone has asked before, but is there any way to either block
(drop) the call or simply route them directly to a Unity mailbox where
we can play a message to them?

Thanks in advance.

I've never done it, but from previous post, I believe the only way to do
it is with a H323 gateway. Are you h323 or MGCP?

The easiest way I can think of remedying this pest
caller would be to use voice translation rules on the
gateway that is receiving these calls. You can route
the caller directly to your voicemail pilot or perhaps
something else a little more nefarious. ;)

I usually block incoming calls on my h323 gateways:
!
voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 reject /4029303659/
!
!
voice translation-profile call_block
translate calling 1
!
!
dial-peer voice XXXX pots (inbound dialpeer from pots)
call-block translation-profile incoming call_block
!
!

We were getting calls from a travel agent marketting firm on our backup 1FLs.

Well, I just looked at the attendant and said "watch this"

I basically made the poor person on the other side wet themself after explaining to them that this range of numbers was used for emergencies only, and by calling them they trigger emergency services across our organization and that i have to file a police report with both local and state (they wouldn't understand provincial) police. i asked their name, etc, blah blah blah and said there's no way in hell we could wait for the month that it takes to get the number of the list and that it has to be taken off now.

the attendant couldn't hold her laughter in. but at least we stopped getting calls.

I would guess that even if you are using MGCP on your
gateway, you can still use voice translation rules on
the gateway to block such calls. I could be wrong
however.

I don't see any harm in trying it out though.

that would have to be a router based MGCP gateway then, I don't think there are any chances for 6608s.
