Feature request.
Lately we get robo calls that spoof local numbers. Every time "Dave" calls, he uses a different number. Our area code, our exchange, then four random digits. Some are real businesses but not air duct cleaners. Once I checked the number and it was the local dry cleaner. NoMoRobo is not stopping them and of course it can't.
My suggestion is to add a service to screen out these calls. I request something like the following.
There would be three classes of calls.
1) White list and public service numbers such as hospitals, police, schools, just rings
2) Black list, hangs up
3) All others are greeted with a recorded message: "Please enter the extension of the person you wish to talk to or stay on the line to leave a message". Or "For Allen press 203, for Gayle press 507, to leave a message press 0". The message is recorded by the subscriber and can be anything. The subscriber also supplies Sonic a list of numbers, like the 203 and 507 in the example above that if entered make the phone ring. Any other entry goes to voicemail.
An added feature could be that each number can be associated with a different email address so that the voice mail message can be emailed to a different person depending on who the caller wants to talk to.
This would be a very valuable service for Sonic to provide and should completely eliminate the new and increasingly annoying robocalls.
