Cid: +0

[holmes4]

I'd like to suggest that Voipo treat invalid CID numbers as "Blocked". For example, I got a call today from "7260002827". That of course has to be bogus, with a 000 exchange. The telemarketers are supplying deliberately invalid CID info and I'd think that Voipo could apply some basic rules to filter these out.

Excellent thought!

VOIPo may need the occasional ticket to open a new overlay, but otherwise that sounds effective. It would mostly be a bit of work and debugging as it is newly implemented. In routing, along with "unknown", they could add a separate rule called "Invalid CID". Require the NPA-NXX to be valid.

My In-laws who live in Canada had their call rejected the other day. I was wondering what was going on! I reject all but a few local exchanges. I do not have 416*******, but their 519******* is good to ring the phone.

On checking, their number was ID'd as 416825**** and should have been 519825****. Apparently this was a side-effect of a calling card service. I added my own *8251234 rule to let their specific 7 digit number ring in the future!
