weird bogus phone numbers

<< < (2/2)

MichiganTelephone:
I would THINK you could shorten those patterns a bit to catch more variations, for example:

(1[01]x.|1876x.|1999x.|0x.)

I'm pretty sure that should stop anything starting with:
10 or 11
1876
1999
0

babobi:
Would it prevent European calls from coming in? We have a friend from Germany that calls and those call begin with "11"

Well, what I suggested above would, yes.  So you could use

(10x.|11[90]x.|1876x.|1999x.|0x.)

As long as your friend's Caller ID doesn't start with 110 or 119 that should work. It would then stop anything starting with:
10
119 or 110
1876
1999
0

curt00:
I'm getting calls simultaneously to my 2 lines (SP2 and SP3 are Freephoneline.ca numbers on my OBi202) with Caller ID 1000000.  Here is what is in my Call History:

From '1000000' SP2(1000000)

From '1000000' SP3(1000000)

When I answer the calls, nobody is there.  This caller is calling my 2 lines simultaneously and repeatedly ever couple of hours.  As far as I can tell, this caller is not calling my Google Voice which is assigned to SP1.

How do I block calls from 1000000 or forward them to a black hole?

azrobert:
These are probably SIP scanner calls.
You're not getting these on SP1 because GV doesn't use the SIP protocol.
One method to block these is to change the listening ports to a non-standard number similar to:

Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_UserAgentPort: 6361
Voice Services -> SP3 Service -> X_UserAgentPort: 6362

Use OBi Expert to make the change.
