Blocking Robo Calls
azrobert:
A big THANK YOU goes to SteveInWa for this solution.
See: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8799.msg58218#msg58218
I set it up by changing the X_InboundCallRoute on my OBi200 to this:
ph,sp2(18661234567@tf.callwithus.com;ui=$1)
18661234567 is your nomorobo number.
I tested the above by defining a speed dial like this:
sp2(18661234567@tf.callwithus.com;ui=3194327596)
3194327596 is a marketing company.
When I placed the call to nonorobo they picked up with a message that they blocked the call.
I then called nomorobo with a good callerid and got a busy signal.
This is way better than maintaining a black list.
Steve, thanks again.
lhm.:
While this works, ph,sp2(18667321111@tf.callwithus.com;ui=$1)
How can I merge it into this prior IBCR
{(18006331111):ph},{(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|000xx.|1876xx.|1555xx.|1800xx.|1855xx.|1866xx.|1877xx.|1888xx.|un@@.|anon@@.):},{(<**4>16159111111):aa($1)},{>('17772821111'):ph}
TIA
Luke

Rick:
Almost all the robocalls I get fit two descriptions:
1) Anonymous. No callerid displays. So this won't work (unless I want to reject all anonymous calls).
2) False callerid. Displays the number of some poor slob somewhere, but not the true caller.
Currently I use GV to block numbers, or anonymous calls, AFTER I receive one. However, I've found that their anonymous blocking no longer seems to work.
My fix is to not answer anonymous calls, see if they leave a message, and if not block them.
Ostracus:
I see "no caller id" as a failure if one's paying for the service.
