FOrgive me if this has been answered...

I'm trying to figure out how to "ignore" calls from a certain #.  Meaning, if a call comes in from XYZ, it won't ring, thus go straight to the providers vm.

Thanks in advance!

Assuming your Provider is defined on SP1.

Voice Services -> SP1 Service
Add to the beginning of X_InboundCallRoute:
{(1?8005551212):},

Change 8005551212 to the callerid of the person you want to block
The 1? will allow for 10 or 11 digit callerid's

If the curent X_InboundCallRoute route is just ph code it like this:
{(1?8005551212):},{ph}

If you want to block multiple numbers separate them with a vertical bar
{(1?8005551212|1?8005551313):},{ph}

You need to use OBi Expert to make this change.

Edit:
The provider will think the phone is ringing, so it will have to ring the set number of times before going to VM.

The VOIP provider that you use may have a function to select how to route unwanted calls.
