Anonymous calls are getting through my two ways of blocking them for some reason and I'm trying to figure out why.
I'm blocking Unknown/Blocked CallerID with the Blacklist:
But this method doesn't work for the IPKALL.com number the person is calling, presumably because of the way it dials your SIP URI directly. I have that number set up as a trunk and set the inbound routes up. The Inbound DID has its destination set to extension 201 which is my cell phone. It works great for calls. If I want to block a number, I need to set up a new inbound route with that priority and its destination as an announcement that appears that the number is disconnected. It works as long as the incoming caller id matches the number I manually enter as shown here:
The guy who has been hell bent on harassing me got around my "Anonymous" block which is set up like this:
I confirmed this by having my girlfriend dial *67 and then my IPKALL number and sure enough it goes to the not in service announcement.
He gets around it by having a stranger CallerID name that I can't seem to add to inbound routes to block it:
If you look closely, the CallerID says "Anonymous " There is a space before the last quotation. If I try adding Anonymous with a space, or "Anonymous " exactly, both say I already have an entry with anonymous in it and I cannot redirect these calls to the trash which is where I want them.
I would like to get the police involved because this guy is using all sorts of numbers to harass me, but I'd also like to know what else I can do without taking extreme measures to prevent this guy from getting through. I did some searching and couldn't find the answer. I saw something with using pipes such as <PhoneNumber>|<PhoneNumber2> in the CallerID field but I'm unsure if that will work. Any suggestions short of changing or cancelling my IPKALL number? I'd like to not let this guy win.
