Preventing certain numbers from reaching my phone or even my voicemail

Need some help in preventing certain numbers from reaching my phone or even my voicemail

I have looked in the OBiTALK Community and got some bits and pieces but they still confuse me so let me get to my problem then:

I have two Obi110 in two different locations:

Location1: OBi110 with one line from a local phone company and one line form local SIP provider

Location2: Obi110 with one line from a local SIP provider.
I would like to add, whatever needs to be added, form web and not on Obi110 itself.

Here is what I have done so far:
Location1:
Telco Line: *77 (to block anonymous callers)
Inboundcallroute: {(x.4035551212|x.2135552345|x.9055559874):},{ph} (some these callers might be local or long distance so is this string correct for both?)

SIP provider:
*77 (to block anonymous callers – but right now when anonymous caller calls instead of giving him/her short busy signal it transfers them directly to my voice mail. But I don’t always want that. What can I do so the anonymous callers get short busy signal and not my voice mail.

SPx X_InboundCallRoute: {(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|!x6475556542|!x4135551234|!x9065556565|un@@.|anon@@.):},{ph}

Please note that example number 6475556542 might have additional numbers in front of its number (e.i 16475556542 or 016475556542 or 0116475556542 – this is what I have found in the phone history!)
I would like those phones to get short busy signal and not having them transfer to my voice mail as it is happening now. Also I would like “anonymous callers” to be transferred to my voice mail but on occasion I would like to program OBi110 so that the “anonymous callers” to get short busy signal.

Location2:
SIP provider:
SPx X_InboundCallRoute: {(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|!x6475556542|!x4135551234|!x9065556565|un@@.|anon@@.):},{ph}

I would like the block callers and anonymous callers to get short busy signal and I don’t want them to be transferred to my voice mail.

How can I do this? Please help.

daman:
The simplest way to do it is thru GV.

puzzeld:
GV is not an option here. It must be done with what I have.

Nervpop:
Transfer the unwanted callers to a "dead end" phone number, for example 800 directory assistance (800-555-1212).

puzzeld,

You may be getting odd results using this rule:

Quote

SPx X_InboundCallRoute: {(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|!x6475556542|!x4135551234|!x9065556565|un@@.|anon@@.):},{ph}

Using the barring symbol "!" inside a rule that itself is directing calls to nowhere (which gives fast busy) may be barring those numbers from the rule itself. I have had odd results using "!" within other rules. If you drop the ! the numbers will be sent to the same nowhere as the other rules and should get fast busy.

I suggest:

{(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|x6475556542|x4135551234|x9065556565|un@@.|anon@@.):},{ph}

Please let us know if that changes anything.
