Block a Caller
If you are having issues with malicious, spam, and/or robo callers and know their phone numbers, you can block those phone numbers from calling back in.
To block certain callers from placing inbound calls to yourself…
- Navigate to the Answering Rules page.
- In your Answering Rules page, click the Allow / Block button.
- In the BLOCKED NUMBERS section, type in the phone number and click the Add button.
✓ Clicking Add will make that number appear in the BLOCKED NUMBERS list:
- If needed, click Remove to delete that phone number from the list.
- Add more phone numbers to the list if needed.
- Click the Block anonymous or unknown check box to block all unknown callers if necessary.
- Click the Done button to save the changes made to the block list.
✔ Once Done is clicked, that number will be unable to place calls to your extension.
WARNING: Unless the phone number is blocked for the whole business, that phone number will still be able to call the business' main phone number.
