Blocking Toll Free Numbers

OK, just now that number dialed me again and my extension rang!

This was AFTER I changed my generic 877 block to the actual Caller ID number that they’re using, which is 8772361115.

So now I just changed it to Terminate Call > Hangup, then I created a new Inbound Route and I used _8772361115 for that one and set it also to Terminate Call > Hangup.

For good measure I rebooted the FreePBX computer. I have zero faith that this is going to stop the calls from getting through to my extension, though.

Why is this so hard? Am I going to be forced to setup IVR and make everyone Press 1 to speak to a human in order to rid myself of telemarketers?

UGH!
