Anonymous CallerID filtering - another version

[klingon888]

Slight twist to jeremywillden's post :

Found this idea from another site and modified it to suit my needs. Instead of parking the call, it allows the callee to press 1 to accept call, press 2 to send call to VM or press 3 to send "do not call" msg to caller. Hope you find it useful.

Start with NV's original version but redirect to the custom-screen macros below :

[from-external-custom]
exten => s,1,Zapateller(answer|nocallerid)
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,SetMusicOnHold(default)
exten => s,4,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num)}" = ""]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,5,GotoIf($["foo${CALLERID(num)}" = "foo"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,6,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name):0:9}" = "Anonymous"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,7,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name):0:7}" = "Unknown"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,8,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num):0:7}" = "Private"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,9,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name):0:7}" = "Private"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,10,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num):0:10}" = "Restricted"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,11,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num):0:4}" = "PSTN"]?custom-screen,s,1)
exten => s,12,Dial(Local/99@from-internal)
exten => s,13,Hangup

[custom-screen]
exten => s,1,Background(privacy-unident)
exten => s,n,Background(vm-rec-name)
exten => s,n,Set(SCREEN_FILE=/tmp/${CALLERID(num)}-${EPOCH})
exten => s,n,Record(${SCREEN_FILE}.gsm|5|8)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
;added step to discourage telemarketers etc!
exten => s,n,Background(custom/cust-pls-press-one-to-cont) ;record your own msg - pls press one to continue call
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=10)
exten => s,n,WaitExten(10,)
;if no response after 10 secs, hang up
exten => s,n,Playback(sorry-youre-having-problems&goodbye)
exten => 1,1,Playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 1,2,Dial(local/200@from-internal,20,mM(screen^${SCREEN_FILE})) ;replace your extension to ring
exten => 1,3,Goto(s,25) ;goto VM if no one answers
exten => s,25,Background(vm-nobodyavail)
exten => s,26,Goto(ext-local,${VM_PREFIX}200,1) ;replace with your VM ext
exten => s,27,Hangup
exten => s,30,Playback(privacy-stop-calling-not-welcome)
exten => s,31,Playback(goodbye)
exten => s,32,Hangup
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm ${SCREEN_FILE}.gsm)

;if you have friends who like to block their number, give them a code like 7 to break thru screening at beginning of custom-screen when msg is playing
exten => 7,1,Background(pls-hold-while-try)
exten => 7,n,Goto(ext-group,200,1) ;replace with your ring grp to ring

[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,noop(${ARG1})
exten => s,n,Playback(priv-callpending)
exten => s,n,Playback(${ARG1})
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
;record your own msg - press 1 to connect, 2 to send to VM, 3 to play do not call msg
exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT|custom/cust-screen-callee-options|1|2|10)
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 1] ?71) ;connect call
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 2] ?30) ;reject to vm
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 3] ?50) ;play pls do not call msg
exten => s,30,Set(MACRO_RESULT=GOTO:custom-screen^s^25)
exten => s,31,Goto(70)
exten => s,50,Set(MACRO_RESULT=GOTO:custom-screen^s^30)
exten => s,51,Goto(70)
exten => s,70,Playback(goodbye)
exten => s,71,System(/bin/rm ${ARG1}.gsm)
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm ${ARG1}.gsm)

 

[edlally]

One suggestion for the script is to insert the following line before exten => s,30 in [macro-screen]:

exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 4] ?1) ;repeat message

This allows the recipient to reply the introductory message and caller's name. For me at least, it was easy to miss the caller's name the first time around.

Cheers,

Ed

Simply way to black private or blocked callers

A really simple way to handle blocked and private calls:

- Add an inbound route and put "Blocked" in the Caller ID box.

- Check the "CID Priority Route:" box.

- Send this route to an unused extension (and optionally turn on voice mail for that extension).

Mouse over the "Caller ID Number:" title and make a note of the other options available such as Anonymous, Private, Restricted, etc.

Add an incoming route for each category that you want to block, filter, or redirect.

If this is not elegant or complex enough for your taste, then there are other options.
