Blacklist (Call Blocking)

Blacklist (Call Blocking)

In order to block anonymous / private callers, you need to add a simple rule to your phone system's Global Blacklist. Instructions below:

 

  1. Log into the PBX Admin portal
  2. Go to Call Control > Blacklist
  3. Click "Blacklist a Number"
  4. Set Telephone # to 0000000000 (exactly 10 zeros)
  5. Set Notes to "Block anonymous calls"
  6. Submit

From now on, anyone who attempts to call in anonymously will be treated with a busy signal.
