Tuly Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 is there a way to block an incoming call from coming in to the system based on the caller ID?

Tuly Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Posted January 19, 2017 This was implemented in the GUI call "Blacklist" Thanks
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted February 19, 2017 Administrators Report Posted February 19, 2017 There is a GUI component for this and I'm debating having a Monster app for this. The dream was to allow people to subscribe to a public list of telemarketers, too, and download updates to it regularly to block bogus Caller IDs.That idea, however, turns out to be flawed. A lot of telemarketers are now spoofing their Caller ID with numbers they don't own that belong to other people. Which means we'd accidentally block some poor soul out there. Kind of a big problem if you ask me but not a good solution to it.
Karl Stallknecht Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Yikes, what a complete mess...
Administrators Darren Schreiber Posted February 19, 2017 Administrators Report Posted February 19, 2017 LOL, isn't it though? The previous FCC chairman had a mandate that all carriers be able to start passing reliable Caller ID info between each other for this very reason, so spoofing stops. But the new FCC chairman is likely to nix that requirement now (Verizon and one other company, forget who, just re-petitioned to try to remove the requirement to upgrade their equipment to support this feature).So it will stay messy for a while.

Spawned by the "Truth in Caller ID" act. Google away :)
