Sending All 800/855/866/877 calls to Google Voice Mail

Call 1 04/05/2013 08:35:31
Terminal ID GoogleVoice1 SP2
Peer Name
Peer Number 1877NNNNNNN @192.168.1.111:5490
Direction Inbound Outbound
08:35:31 Ringing
08:35:55 End Call
This shows the call being sent outbound to the fake voice gateway port 5490. Terminal ID would show PHONE1 if the call had gone to the Phone Port. I don't use Google Voice, but in my set up the incoming calls never go to the Phone Port.
The timings show Ringing from 08:35:31 to 08:35:55. This looks normal as GV voicemail took the call after 24 seconds.
I think azrobert forgot a "?" in his rule:
{(18(00|88|77|66|55|44)xxxxxxx):},{ph}
This allows the ten digit format 800 etc to call the phone.
This would block them all:
{(1?8(00|88|77|66|55|44)xxxxxxx):},{ph}
With that slight amendment, the azrobert method is the simple solution. It gives incoming calls "Busy Here". My method is useful if you want the incoming calls to receive ringing rather than busy. The ringing will go on for 30 seconds if no voice mail picks up, then "Service Unavailable" will be returned. My method does waste a bit more of the unwanted callers time ;)

Thanks ianobi!! Looks like I'm all set. I do not want to block all Toll Free calls, since a few might be legitimate. If I have any further questions I will check back. Thanks for all the help guys.

I tested this with my PSTN line before I posted. My present and past testing GV always sends an 11 digit CID.
ianobi:
Just goes to show how little I know about GV! If the incoming calls are blocked and "Busy Here" is sent back to the caller using GV, will the caller then be connected to GV voice mail? I'm trying to understand if both methods end up with the caller going to GV voice mail.

I was getting ready to leave the house and didn't have time to read Diana's post before my last reply.
Her original question was how to send inbound GV 800 numbers to voice mail.
The method I suggested worked for me. The caller is sent to VM after he hears 5 rings and the OBi phone port does not ring.
She subsequently expanded her question to include Anveo.
Like I said above GV sends 11 digit CIDs. It is my experience that SIP providers send 10 digit CIDs, so you should use {(8(00|88|77|66|55|44)xxxxxxx):} for SIP providers. Ianobi's suggestion of {(1?8(00|88|77|66|55|44)xxxxxxx):} will work for both.

I tested ianobi's method and got the same result. The caller hears 5 rings and then is sent to GV VM.
