How to put their numbers into the block list? I use "admin" to log into my ATA, and then where can I find the place to add those numbers? Thank you.

So in your web interface, see Voice Services in the left column. Click (always left-clicks) the [+] in front of Voice Services. That will open up your choices. Then click "SP1 Services", that became visible.
Note X_InboundCallRoute off to the right. If the little box in the Default column is ticked, click that to clear the box. The enter your new value in the bigger box. Then scroll down, and click Submit.

Good. I tried myself, and in fact it can't really block the caller, as it just lets the blocked caller goes to the voice mail instead of ringing. Is that true?
Thanks a lot, Sir!

If you're not "married" to your VOIP provider I would suggest you take a look at Callcentric for USA at least. They have a way to block callers and recently updated their website to make it ever easier. They had a very bad time with hackers a few months ago but I think that is past them now. Very good provider with excellent service in this subscriber's opinion.

I guess that could happen with your provider. Maybe you could look into having the OBi forwarding the call to somewhere instead of just ignoring the call. Maybe have the OBi forward the unwanted to a rejection line . That adds some complexity.

12222222222 & 13333333333 will be blocked. All other CallerIDs will ring the phone.
My suggestion above results in your OBi sending SIP message “486: Busy Here” back to your voip provider. FPL sees that message and diverts the call to your voicemail.
As Shale suggests, you could divert the call on to a free message line to annoy the caller so much that they give up calling you. This requires some setting up. I’m assuming that you have FPL on sp1 and sp2 is spare.
1. Set up sp2 as a “fake” provider:
Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> SIP -> ProxyServer : 127.0.0.1
Service Providers > ITSP Profile B > General > DigitMap: ([^*]@@.'@'@@.)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> Enable : (checked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> AuthUserName : 12345678
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_RegisterEnable : (unchecked)
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_ServProvProfile : B
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> X_UserAgentPort : 5471
Voice Services -> SP2 Service -> CallerIDName : Anything
2. Set up your InboundCallRoute:
Voice Services > SP1 Service > X_InboundCallRoute:
{(12222222222|13333333333):sp2(wbdemo@conf.zipdx.com)},{ph}
12222222222 & 13333333333 will be forwarded to wbdemo@conf.zipdx.com. All other CallerIDs will ring the phone.
I picked wbdemo@conf.zipdx.com because it’s a long message about wideband calls. It goes on and on and on … :)
