Blocking a number via ObiTalk
jeeva:
I've spent hours trying to block a number. Configuring the Obi100 is such a mess. For one, I realized that configuring anything via the ip address won't make the changes effective because of the obitalk expert configuration settings.
Here's what I did:
X_InboundCallRoute {(x.1234567890):},{ph}
The problem is, when calls come from 1234567890, they just get re-directed to the voicemail. I'm using freephoneline as my provider.
How could I ban that number so that it doesn't go to voicemail either. Could I instead place a call forward rule for calls from that number only? That way, I could forward it to a dummy number.

You can only use one method, local interface or OBiTalk to configure your OBi.
If you use the local interface to configure your OBi you must disable OBiTalk auto provisioning, otherwise OBiTalk will overlay any changes you make.
System Management -> Auto Provisioning
Under OBiTalk Provisioning
Method: Disabled
Assuming FPL is defined on SP1, try the following:
{(1?1234567890):sp1(13475147296@in.callcentric.com;ui=8005551234)},{ph}
In the past 13475147296 at Callcentric was Lenny. I just tried it and received message "Number you dialed has been disconnected", which is just as good. If you want to know who Lenny is, do a search for "voip lenny". You need to provide a callerid. I used 8005551234. I also gave you a different way to test for 10 or 11 digit callerids.
Edit:
I found another address for Lenny:
{(1?1234567890):sp1(2233435945@sip2sip.info)},{ph}

Awesome! Worked like a charm, but I rather have it forward to a dummy number that just keeps ringing or gets the busy tone. Any numbers to that?

If I wanted to add mulitple numbers to block, what is the syntax?

These won't work. The call must be answered, otherwise your voicemail will pickup.
The numbers are separated with a vertical bar like this:
{(1?1234567890|1?0987654321|1?6543210987):sp1(2233435945@sip2sip.info)},{ph}
I forgot something. Each SP trunk defaults to a max of 2 sessions. When you re-route an inbound call out the same SP trunk, you are using the max 2 sessions. If another call arrives while this rejection process is in progress the new call will be rejected. You need to increase the Max Sessions to prevent this.
Voice Service -> SP1 Service -> MaxSessions: 4
