Caller ID and call filtering

Nov 01, 2006 7 Replies

Despite being registered with telephone preference services we still get a lot of silent and marketing calls. I'm looking for a box of tricke of some software to help...



What I'd like to do is silently divert all "caller ID witheld" calls to a recorded message that says something like.. "This person does not accept marketing calls. If you are calling about something else please enter your phone number and I will connect you". At which point it will ring our phone in the normal manner and forward the number entered as a caller ID.



Is there such a box of tricks?

looks like a list of devices and services that might do what you want and some are even relatively inexpensive.

Now if I could just find a way to get the Sharp UX1100 fax machine to hang up on any incoming call EXCEPT from a single number. It will allow blocking up to 5 phone numbers but doesn't seem to allow blocking from all but a list of numbers. (I haven't got caller id on that phone line but I could pay for that if really necessary)

How about a computer fax? Doesn't VB 2005 have a lot of this stuff built in?

that's one implementation. asterisk is free open source.

AIUI it'll do VoIP, but also handle PSTN voice calls, fax and answering machine functions...
