Block by Area Code

Hi,

It was probably just a coincidence, but I upgraded from FreePBX 2.x to 2.7 over the weekend. Now, I find out that someone has been able to get into my system and make outgoing spam calls.

I’ve added a route to block the area code they were dialing, but, of course, now we’re receiving a bunch of irate phone calls.

Is there anyway I can block incoming calls from a particular area code?

Luckily it is a small number of users, so easy enough to change all the passwords on the extensions, but in the meantime…

Thanks,
Westley

make an incoming route for a specific DID/areacode or just areacode and route it to a message explaining to the people who call what had happened.

Philippe,

I tried making an inbound route for
918X
1918X
918XXXXXXX
1918XXXXXXX
_918X
_1918X
_918XXXXXXX
_1918XXXXXXX

None of these worked for me.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Westley
