This is exactly what I do - “press 1 for a human” Works great ________________________________ From: asterisk-users <asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com> on behalf of Greg Woods <g...@gregandeva.net> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2019 6:34 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Block Spam Calls
Most spam calls are robocalls these days. At my house, I can block pretty much all of the robocalls by requiring the caller to take some action before ringing the phones. In our case, the action is just to dial 1 for my wife or 2 for me. The only difference it makes in the end is which voice mailbox the caller gets transferred to if no one answers, but since asterisk so programmable, there are a lot of ways to accomplish the basic concept. I can see tons of calls in my log that never get through to bother us. --Greg On Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 8:58 AM Alexander Perkins <alexanderhenryperk...@gmail.com<mailto:alexanderhenryperk...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi All. Does anybody know if Google/Android has an API I can sign up for that will allow us to query the caller ID and find out if it is spam or a robocaller? I ask because we've had increase in spam calls and I'd like to simply play dead air or something really annoying.
