I have been receiving a few calls from 0016480451562 and some other 00164*** numbers. Strangely always around 5PM. The calls are silent once answered. Does anyone know if there is a way to wildcard block on 2talk? 

 

Thanks :)

Not sure if you can use * in "Caller ID & Rejection Options". Worth a crack?




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

What about '00164X.'

 

Edit: I doubt it would work but that would match in a Asterisk dial plan which is what 2talk is essentially.

How about '00164?' or '+164?'

@sbiddle might be the one with the answer.

Some VOIP routers have some sort of do not disturb facility. Perhaps you could check that out.

Not had that one come thru, but I have had several on the fritzfon that say no number despite ticking the options to filter out withheld number calls.

 

Thinking of just dropping all the landline numbers I have been hanging onto. Pay a small fortune for them and just get computer scammers and people asking for the parents by name off obviously really old lists.

We've started getting these sorts of calls, from those types of numbers, at work in the last week or so too.

 

Answered calls are just silent as well.




Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
