Got something else to discuss that is not covered by the previous forums? Post it here!

Why?????

Sometimes the Caller ID number contains extra digits, (such as a leading '1'), before the area code. To block these numbers, add a rule that uses a leading '+' to match the extra digits. For example, one rule blocks numbers that start with "NNN", and a second rule blocks numbers that start with "+NNN".
