I dont think that Anonymous Call Blocking goes far enough. I want to be able to place a phone number on a list (of 20 or more numbers) that will be intercepted when anyone tries to call me from any of the numbers in a list and informs the caller that their phone number has been blocked and the subscriber has been informed of the attempted call (look on the activity list - the call will be listed with the word BLOCKED next to it), and that if the caller wants to return the call, they have that option.
Meanwhile, I have a much more flexible solution: a voice/fax/data modem with Caller ID, a copy of Phone Tray Free (software) and a load of .WAV files with all kinds of phone company messages such as The Number you have dialed is temporarily out of service and The subscriber does not receive blocked calls. I can isolate any number, associate it with any .WAV file, and allow my PC/Modem/Phone Tray system to pick up the call on the first ring and play the selected message. All calls still go through to my Activity List, and Phone Tray also records the time, date, (and Caller ID info, if provided) locally on my PC.
I can easily defeat any telemarketer so long as I know what phone number they are calling from. I can even record a wave file with a message for a friend, and when they call me I can have my message played just for the call from that phone number (e.g. - Hey Joe. I'm not home right now. I know I said that I would meet you at Sam's, but Betty called me for a date, and who am I to say no to Betty...if you know what I mean. See you tomorrow at the bar after work. If you want to leave me a message, call my cell phone.)
Now if Vonage could provide THIS kind of flexibility.....
How does one use this with a cable modem connected to my WRT54GL router for my Vonage service?
called Vonage tonight in jersey and they told me they didnt have the feature but were lookin into it kinda sux bc some with a anon keeps callin me at 4 in the morn
