Title: blocking incoming calls from area code 707 .
Post by: sportflyer on April 24, 2019, 04:10:09 PM
Do I need to add a 1 before the area code for the inbound call route ? ie {(1?707xxxxxxx):},{ph}

Thanks

Depends on what the service provider is sending as CID. Set it to match how numbers are showing on your phone.

Your code will  block callerids with or without a "1".
If your service provider is Google Voice, you need to check for "+1" like this:
{(+1707xxxxxxx):},{ph}

Yes I am using GV with Obi.  Tks for the +1 info.

How useful is adding a "? "  into the digitmap ?

A "?" after the "1" makes it optional, so the rule will match 10 or 11 digit callerids. GV always sends 11 digits, so the "?" is not needed.
