blockout

[charlotteinternet]

I'm trying to use the BLOCK OUT - I need to block 10 digit and 11 digit calling - but allow 3 digit calling to exts.
I've set (..........) 10 digit.
I've set (...........) 11 digit.

So if user calls 18005551212 < 11 digits blocked
or if user calls 8005551212 < 10 digit blocked

but if the user calls the 3 digit ext it's blocked.

I tried to hard-code one button calling, but the block out blocked the preprogrammed option.

BUMP - does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

use x instead of .
. is arbitrary digits and x is precise. so 10 and 11 x's should work.

Thanks for the reply - however, I tried that one first. I have to block all out bound calling from these phones except Emergency 911 and the locale ext's for this call group.

I'm using FreePBX to host the phones and it's a shared system. So, I have ext blocks for each cust. 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000 you get the general idea.

Ok - well I went back and tried your suggestion and you were right. Before I did (areacode)xxxxxxx instead of (xxxxxxxxxx). 3 digits work. Thanks for the correction.

There are only 10 entries in the Phone itself. I can update the block.cfg and push the information to the phones during updates. Can I set more than 10 block outs? For example I use the following scheme of ext's on my hosted platform - 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, (skip 600), 700, 800 (skip 900 due to emergency calls) and then start with 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000)

If client is using ext 100 - I would push out the following block (xxxx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 8xx)

However if I use 4 ext's for any given client - I would have to push out the following block (1xx,2xx,3xx,4xx,5xx,6xx,7xx,8xx,2xxx,3xxx,4xxx,5xxx,6xxx,7xxx,8xxx,9xxx) This would be 16 blocks.

My question, can I push out more than 10 blocks on in the block.cfg

This is what I see in the Config.File
[ BlockOut ]
path = /config/DialRule/BlockOut.cfg
#Set Block Out number.
1 =
2 =
3 =
4 =
5 =
6 =
7 =
8 =
9 =
10 =

[1-9]xxxx would block a 4 digit call starting with any number
[1-9]xx would block a 3 digit call starting with any number

Check this out - page 21. It tells all about the characters.

Ok - that works much better. I should be able to create a simple rule now. Thanks for directing me to that page.
