Blocking a range of numbers on an existing inbound route

Hi. Our customer gave me a task and I don’t know solution. I want to block a range of numbers (1234500-99) and apply this blacklist rule to an existing inbound route. There are a lot of inbound routes in my system, but I want to apply this only for one inbound route. How can I do this? Please, help me.

Hi,

i think dialplan is the best soulotion (not that i know of any other soulotion…)
you can make a context for the trunk getting the calls and there check if its from this range and calling the inbound
and sent it to hangup.

im no expert :slight_smile:

This could easily be done with a custom context that adds the number to your [from-trunk] (or whatever inbound context you are using) and processes it separately from the rest of the inbound numbers.

Another approach would be to set up a new inbound route and use the Caller ID preference to grab the numbers on the way in. It’s been a long time since I’ve done it, but you might be able to use a wildcard on the inbound route to grab a sequence of numbers. I’m not sure that’s going to work, but it would be something to research. Seems to me @dicko has some experience in this. Maybe he’ll weigh in.

Is this not just a matter of creating another inbound route with the CID field set to:

_12345XX

Thank you. I created new inbound route with same DID and wrote in the CID field _12345XX. Worked !
