...text: homeline: 38 3. MENUS When I started, I didn't really consider that presenting the calling party with a set of choices (as to whom to talk to) as a possible telemarketing deterrent. But, months of watching the system in action has led me to he conclusion that is exactly that. Not all telemarketers call from unlisted numbers. If I'm not getting their call, and neither Zapateller nor PrivacyManager affects them, then I'm doing something right in my menus. They are hanging up during the introductions (the s priority) in my menus. Who? How many? There are many reasons why legitimate as...

...1. Asterisk notifies interested PC's on the network that there's an incoming call so that the telemarketing app can bring up the customer automagically 2. If a telemarketer makes a call and the customer isn't there and they arrange a callback, the callback is diverted to the originating telemarketers phone first for a few rings, and then to the main switchboard. I think number 1 would be implemented very easily via a udp broadcast in a AGI app. The application is all lan based so packets should not be dropped. A more complicated implementation would involve the client apps registering to recei...

Hi, I have some annoying telemarketer calling me on a recurring basis, but I'd like to discourage them a bit and have some fun. I found this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL+Telemarketer+Torture but the link to download the sound files is dead (wyoming.e-tools.com is NXDOMAIN). Anyone have a copy of these? -Adam

does anyone have a recorder GSM file that emulates the Telco's "if you are a telemarketer please hangup now" recording? I don't see one in the sounds dir. the ZapATEller works great for computerized callers but if a human hears this message asking them to go away they have to. Isn't that right? Dave

The US has a Do Not Call list to which people can subscribe to prevent being called by advertisers. Federal laws (strengthened by some state and more local laws) assign penalties for calling people/phones on the DNCL. Is there a query gateway that Asterisk (or an app using Asterisk) can filter through to ensure a number is OK to call (not on the list) before calling it? -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein

Hello-- I submitted of extensions.conf that contains my "telemarketer torture" menus, last week sometime to the mailing list. I got back a note from the mailing list machinery, stating that it was too big, and would be subject to approval. No such approval came, I guess. Either I missed it, or it didn't rate, or the moderator just plain hasn't gotten around to it yet. So, I

Does anyone know if there is a known list of telemarketers? Something like http://whocalled.us/ with an easier access? We could all benefit if there was such a thing :-) If there is enough interest, I could put up a database that everyone can benefit from. I just need some suggestions on: (1) Adding new numbers based on community responses (some rule to...

I have been bugging by a telemarketer who does not take any cue at all. So I look up the Asterisk Handbook and send his call with the respect caller id to my voicemail. Has any one implemented any of this feature with database for more caller ids to be included?? David Kwok

...boss suggested something he wondered if it was possible. Example: Someone calls (Telemarketer), we answer tell them to hold while we 'redirect' them to extension (Someone Important) 666 which is a separate music on hold pool of mp3's from each of the employee's stating why we hate telemarketers. We think it's a good 'company' relief any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. -William __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.

I have 2 asterisk servers - serverA and serverC - connected via IAX2. On serverA, I have a "telemarketer hold" extension which, if I transfer a caller into it, loops around playing music & "please wait" messages, until they give up & hang up the phone. Also on serverA, I have a custom devstate, which lights a lamp on a phone connected to serverA, which tells me if

Hello, I am searching for a program set to monitor telemarketing telephone activities to satisfy the legal requirements of some contractual clients. The environment is NetBSD running on a pair of servers with diskless (intel pc) workstations which have audio adapters similar to most PCs. The hardware drivers exist for NetBSD to support most brands of audio adapters. The hard part of this

You could accept as the "passcode" the caller punching in their own phone#, then checking that against your whitelist. Lets associates get past the challenge when using someone else's phone, without their remembering some arbitrary passcode. And strangers or barred old associates who abuse it can get an earful about how you're suing them for wire fraud. Preferably after you

I'd like to transfer all my pesky telemarketing calls to Jolly Roger . http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/25/fashion/a-robot-that-has-fun-at-telemarketers-expense.html In the middle of a call I'd hit some DTMF sequence, which would dial Jolly Roger and transfer the call after Jolly Roger answers.

...d stopping Asterisk or reloading the drivers does not help. I thought maybe it was an IRQ conflict so I removed every card in my system except the X100P and it still hangs. I've swapped the order of the devices and tried different slots. I'm baffled. All I want is a simple 1x1 PBX to keep telemarketers from ringing my phone. If I can't get this working I'm having my phone disconected. lol Thanks, -s
