Matching Caller ID as SPAM? <original caller ID>

<< < (2/2)

Thanks for the follow-ups. I thought I would get an email when there were replies but did not so that is why I have not been back recently.

Yes, I have FiOS and I do know about nomorobo and that it is available to me. I just thought it would be useful if I could filter calls on my Obi by matching on Caller ID Name as I can on Caller ID Number. Seems like it would be easy to implement. With all of the number spoofing, matching on numbers is not very effective anymore. I would happily drop any calls where VZ prefixed the CID Name with SPAM?.

I have read some about the new verification tech. As I understand it, it will provide info about whether the number has been verified but not block the number. And only AT&T and Comcast have tested this.

You need a PBX to block calls by callerid name. The 2 I know are SipSorcery and Asterisk. SipSorcery service costs $69 per year. Asterisk is free, but you need to implement it on a linux computer.

You got me thinking and I could use this method. I get robo calls from a company that uses different callerids, but always has the same callerid name. I'll have to check if other calls can be blocked with this method. Anyway, I got a working dialplan on SipSorcery. I set it up the same as NoMoRobo. My OBi110 forks the call to a phone port and SipSorcery. SipSorcery sends the call to VM on a match ending the call, otherwise the dialplan rejects the call and the phone port continues to ring.

Asterisk should be relatively easy to setup. Let me know if you're interested.
