I want to block all calls from a specific area code (8 identical scam calls just today all from the same area code but all with different numbers, so simply blocking the number in GoogleVoice is fruitless). I searched the forums here and did find one seemingly simple answer: "Click on Voice Services. Click on whichever SP Service you are using, probably SP1 Service. Change what is currently in the X_InboundCallRoute field...", but on my dashboard I don't see anything like 'Voice Services', and I don't even know where to look for it. Can someone tell me how to block all calls from a specific area code, or even just block robocalls in general?
Thanks.
Go to Voiceervices > SP1 Service > x_InboudCallRoutttttttte and enter
{(+1aaaxxxxxxx):},{ph}
where aaa is the area code you want to block.
From OBiTALK dashboard click on Edit Profile on left-hand side of page and scroll to bottom.
Make sure "Enable OBi Expert Entry from Dashboard" is checked
Again from OBiTALK dashboard click on red E for Expert Configuration
Expand Voice Services
Highlight SP1 Service
Uncheck both boxes to the right of the X_InboundCallRoute field
Change X_InboundCallRoute to the following:
{(+1555xxxxxxx):},{ph}
Replace 555 with desired area code. Submit and save your edit.
If I want to block more than 1 area code, do I separate the curly braces by commas? For example:
{(+1555xxxxxxx):}, {(+1666xxxxxxx):}, {ph}

Use a separator ("pipe" key) inside first parens and curly bracket.
{(+1666xxxxxxx|+1555xxxxxxx):}, {ph}
