Call Barring

Unwanted calls from telesales and marketing organisations, fax machines or abusive individuals are becoming an increasing nuisance, you can now block them with Voipfone Call Barring.

It's particularly annoying if you get regularly called from anonymous, withheld and international numbers - once you're on their call list it seems impossible to get off.

Well now we have a solution - our Call Barring service allows you to filter out telesales and nuisance calls automatically.

How Does It Work?

We provide you with a series of options for call filters, plus the ability to blacklist or whitelist individual numbers or parts of numbers. Calls that you put on these lists will be sent to recorded messages and the line dropped automatically.

You can also create a set of policies for managing outbound calls. These can be applied to your chosen extensions allowing you to control what numbers individual staff can call.

Details on how to configure our call barring service can be found on our Call Barring Support page.

If you have a particular problem caller who's number you know, instead of sending the call to voicemail you may route it directly to our 166 anti-telesales number.
