Blocked calls

Have about 200 blocked calls and they still come thru, and also would take along time to delegate them, any help on either?

The tricky thing about blocked calls is that the reported Caller ID information can differ from the actual originating phone number.


It's trivial to make calls appear to come from a particular phone number when they are actually originating from a different phone number.


When you block a number it operates on the actual originating phone number, not on the caller ID information being passed.


You might want to setup blocking on unknown callers:
