Blocking Robo Calls

<< < (2/6) > >>

Rick:
Nothing is displayed when a slimy telemarketing company takes steps to hide their callerid when they make robocalls.  Since nothing shows, there is no way to block it that I know of by any service, although supposedly GV had a string attached to it (like Unknown.7c92b916bccb7bdc3116571b9c79cbca22bddaf5?) which GV supposedly could block.

My point is that if that's how a call comes through, I don't see how this service is going to block it.

azrobert:
NoMoRobo is blocking anonymous calls. 99% of the anonymous calls I receive are junk, but a few are valid. I changed my inbound route to bypass NoMoRobo for anonymous calls.

Darnit.  I tried to make this work about a year back in a slightly different manner.  I couldn't quite get it.  Thank you to SteveInWa and azrobert.  I haven't added any new posts to my magic vault in a while but this one is going to get a spot!   ;)

Luckily this is no longer needed in my case.  It's been months since I got so much as a butt dial on my primary line.  Fingers crossed. I hope I didn't jinx myself.

Shale:
I expect there would be a variation where the first ring, that normally rings the phone even on a robocall, gets suppressed. This might involve forking the call to the local phone (ph) only after a 4?-second delay.

How could that be accomplished on a Obi100?

Based on this thread, I am not optimistic that it can be done.   http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8494.msg55797#msg55797
