Hi specialists out there,
I’m in the process of setting up an VitalPbx instance. I’m tring to find out if it is possible to block an entire range of phone numbers? We’re getting regular calls from ‘the microsoft helpdesk’ and others similar scammers using non-existant phone numbers as CID, mostly using the same prefix (eg 041xxyyzz, 042aabbcc, etc…).
With our previous system, I could send all those numbers to voicemail using a wildcard…
You can achieve the same using the Asterisk patterns in the inbound routes.
I’m completely new in this, so if you can guide me what to do in some simple steps that would be of great help…
So am I correct:
let’s say I want to perform an action on all incoming calls starting with 041xxyyzz.
I create an inbound rule in VitapPBX, where the CID pattern contains the expression “041.”?
Yes, you are correct. You write the pattern in the DID field and then select the destination.
