[asterisk-users] Best way to detect unknown and/or private incoming caller-id?
I am aware of how to match a particular caller-id or a caller-id pattern and do something with the call like this: exten => 15554441212/_888NXXXXXX,n,Playback(GoAway) What I am curious about, is the best way to block unknown, private and 000-000-0000 calls. I know I can do this for 000-000-0000 calls: exten => 15554441212/0000000000,n,Playback(GoAway) Is there a better way to catch calls which are purposely blocked by the calling party? Sometimes they come through as 000-000-0000 and as I recall sometimes just blank or unknown.

I don think you shouldn't be punishing, for example, SkypeOut users or people using dodgy carriers. If your Playback says you don't accept any anonymous call at least they would be able to change it. - -- Andres Jimenez GPG : http://www.andresin.com/gpg/gandresin at gmail.com.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFGx0me8SZxpGYWwpYRAoR7AKCdZGX8//GfdPCZovRuQN87hQh90QCdHgBl 5tTHq8WRiTjum3GIEwgkeAs=tFmP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
