Is there any block list?
dealyanodeal:
I was wondering if OBI has capability to maintain a list of blocked numbers. I could find mention to anonymous call block but not a block list.
jimates:
If you use google voice you can block callers in your google voice account.
I don't know of the feature in the Obi.

I am going to keep OOMA as my primary line and dont have premier so wanted to check if OBI provides anything to block some numbers
RonR:
If the list of numbers you want to block is relatively small, you can accomplish it by using the proper syntax and putting them in the appropriate InboundCallRoute (Physical Interfaces -> LINE Port, for example, in the case of your Ooma). You'll need to study and understand the sections of the Administrator Guide relating to DigitMap and CallRoute configuration.

From the OBi Device Administration Guide, page 110:

InboundCallRoute Examples:
[.....]
2) {14081223330|15103313456:ph,aa},{1800xx.|1888xx.|?:},{ph}
It says: Ring both PHONE Port and AA for calls coming from 1 408 122 3330 or 1 510 331 3456, block all 800, 888, and anonymous calls, and ring the PHONE Port for all other calls
So what I take from that is that you could make a block list that would block specific numbers and "anonymous" calls by simply inserting a rule of the form...
{firstblockednumber|secondblockednumber|thirdblockednumber|?:},
etc., into the existing InboundCallRoute for the Line port. Omit the |? if you don't want to block anonymous calls, and separate each number or pattern with a bar character.
