Block Incoming Callers

Use the following slides as a guide for blocking an incoming call based on its Caller ID.

  1. Check for an existng, or create a new, short code with Feature: Barred. Make a note the code
  2. Add a new Incoming Call Route: Incoming number is wild (*), enter the Incoming CLI of the number to block
    - or enter a ! at Incoming CLI to block any caller without caller ID. All other settings are left default
  3. In the Destinations tab: Enter the destination as the barred short code found/created in step 1
    - Setup a Time Profile to block at callers specific times, or leave at default
  4. File ➤ Save Configuration to apply, and That's all Folks!

Repeat steps 2 & 3 for as many numbers as you like.
These changes are mergeable, they do not require a reboot.
