New Fusion call blocking service

[Ron Paris]

I take it this is in effect now?

It follows the recent option to also reject anonymous callers (which is off by default, you can turn this on in the Member Tools, Voice section).

That is cool too. Do people who don't send Caller ID get a message about how to temporarily turn it on?

Yes, the readback says that the number they have dialed does not accept anonymous calls, and that they can hang up and dial star eighty-two then the number to unblock and be connected.

Per-customer configurable call blocking is the final portion, and we will be adding that too at a future time.

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear, and I hope that future time comes soon

Thanks for all you do.

Kudus on this one go to Geoff, Kelsey, Nathan, Chris B. and Kinderlin.

But, the delay has been long in getting this feature completed, and that's my fault. Sorry!

Does the blocklist include calls from "unavailable"? That's our number one source of annoying, unsolicited calls.

Perfect. Damn you guys are good

It's here now, and I'm very happy about that. Please convey my thanks to the team.

Bless you! If only this had been available at the beginning of the political robo-call season.

After I changed from AT&T to Fusion service I noticed that two of my family members and my dentist cannot call. They say the phone rings once or twice and cut off not having opportunities to leave message.
They all have their caller ID blocked.
Is there any way I can accept calls from them? Or have them leave messages on my answering machine?

Thank you sooooo much! We were getting several spam calls a day, thank you!!

A problem like this is something you should take up with support. Ring them at 707-547-3400. They will need to know the calling number, and date and time of the call in order to investigate.

This is a great feature, but how do I know which # is being blocked?
Some of my relatives live oversea. I don't want their #s being blocked.
