Call Blocking

CallAudit includes the ability to block calls from specific telephone numbers.  When a telephone number is marked for blocking, incoming calls from this number are answered quickly and then hung up.  CallAudit Voice offers additional options for blocked calls.

Any number of specific telephone numbers can be marked for blocking.  There is no practical limit on the list that can be blocked.  Specific telephone numbers can be marked for blocking, or entire ranges of numbers based on area code and/or exchange.

To mark a specific number for blocking, do the following:

• Go to the PhoneBook
• Find the number to be blocked
• Double click on the number, to display the DB Details dialog
• Select the Options tab
• Check the "Reject incoming Calls" option
• Press the Update button

This marks this telephone number for blocking.

You can also block numbers by entire ranges of area codes and/or exchanges.  To block calls from a range of numbers, do the following:

• Go to System Preferences
• Select the Calls tab
• Press the "Call Blocking Options" button, which brings up the Call Blocking Properties dialog
• The check boxes at the top select common numbers to be blocked
• The prefixes area can be edit to include any number of area code and/or exchange combinations
• Press the OK button when finished

The example above shows that Out of Area and Private calls will be blocked.  It also shows that all calls from area codes 714 and 276 would be blocked, as well as any numbers in the 714 exchange of area code 449.
