Annonymous calling.. Google Voice

(1/2) > >>

giqcass:
New favorite trick.  As many of you know Google Voice does NOT provide anonymous calling via *67.  This can be remedied however.  In fact calls to 1-800 numbers are not anonymous even when you block your number.  How can we fix this????

Create a new Gmail account.  Don't add Google voice however.  Log in to Gmail and place a call.  Now enter those credentials into your OBi as a new account. 

Now you can dial **x before the phone number to call completely anonymously.  x=the service provider slot you chose.  Caller ID will show up as  (760) 705-8888 on the caller ID of the person you called but if they try to call that number they get an error message.



I thought the following would make *67 work as the prefix but it doesn't.

Delete the following line from your star codes
*67, Block Caller ID Once, set($Bci1,1)       

add the following to the outgoing digit map for your physical ports line 1 and line 2 if you have it.
{(<*67:>(Mspx)):spx}

x = the service provider you set you gmail account up on.
{(<*67:>(Msp1)):sp1}  is for service provider 1   
{(<*67:>(Msp2)):sp2}  is for service provider 2  ect.....



Any ideas on how to make the prefix *67 instead of **X?

giqcas,

This will make every number that starts with *67 go out via sp2. I’m using sp2 of an OBi110 in this example. Changes shown in bold.

Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|*67(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))

Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(*67(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

Now if you dial *6712345678912, this rule {(*67(Msp2)):sp2}, will match it and send *6712345678912 out to sp2.

The problem is that it stops you using *67 on any other service. Here is an alternative way:

Leave this at default:
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))

Changes shown here in bold:
Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:*67>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

Now if you dial **212345678912, this rule {(<**2:*67>(Msp2)):sp2}, will replace **2 with *67 and send *6712345678912 out to sp2.

All this assumes that you first do this as you suggest:
Delete the following line from your star codes
*67, Block Caller ID Once, set($Bci1,1)

Edit: No need to delete *67, Block Caller ID Once, set($Bci1,1) using the second method as you are using prefix **2 followed by the number, which gets transformed into *67 followed by number when processed through the Phone Port OutboundCallRoute.

Just so everyone knows I had to make the following change to ianobi dial plan for this to work.

I  had to add the following characters to his map so *67 wasn't passed as part of the number.
{(<*67:>(Msp2)):sp2}


Final dial plan

Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > DigitMap:
([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**1(Msp1)|*67(Msp2)|**8(Mli)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))

Physical Interfaces > PHONE Port > OutboundCallRoute:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>|911):li},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<*67:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**8:>(Mli)):li},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

This makes everything work just as I had originally intended.  Thanks for the help from ianobi.

I registered just to say thanks...THANKS giqcas!!!

I spend a loooong time today trying to block my caller id and this was easy.  I did not use any of this code you guys list...just **2.

MODS...this should be a sticky or in the FAQ...so easy.

Does it support *81 for permanent anonymous calling? If not, what are my options? I do not want to dial *67 everytime.

TIA
