Block calls based on NAME display
xts431:
Hi all,
I'm attempting to block an extremely annoying telemarketer, who calls from various area codes, every day. Same company. There's no point in blocking the numbers as they're never the same and they're spoofed/invalid.
One thing which all of the calls have in common is the name display part of the caller ID uses the following strings:
V22400435500020
V13120413700045
etc.
Capital V, followed by 14 numerical digits.
I've tried experimenting with adding the following blocks to my InBoundCallRoute (I already have other blocks in place), but obviously I'm doing something wrong, as it's not working:
'[V]xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
[V]xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'V13120413700045'
V13120413700045
To avoid confusion, I've got | (pipe character) on both sides of these rulesets, followed by the other pertinent parts of the ruleset. Like I said, many other blocks in place already, unfortunately. Telemarketers are hell.
What string should I be using? Perhaps I'm mistaken, and I can't do call blocking based on the incoming name from the caller ID.
I've also go my own SIP line and can generate/spoof calls to test rules (which I did to test above), but no luck :)
ATA is an oldschool OBi110.
Thanks!

Are you using google voice or something else? If google voice, then forward to callcentric's free DID, use a call treatment with an IVR to forward such calls to nowhere. Is it an actual live person calling or robocall/automated?

I'm actually using the bridge functionality on the OBi110 to connect a landline from the telco (on LINE port), to the rest of the phones on the "phone" port. These calls are coming in via that line. The rules affect forwarding between the LINE and the PHONE port. If a matching blocking rule is found, the phones connected to the phone port just don't ring.
Not my line/service, otherwise I'd port-out the number and use a real provider with way better filtering options.

Does anyone else have input on this issue and how it may be resolved from a ruleset within the ATA?

You are not mistaken.
