[cisco-voip] tracing a call

[Pete Fabian]

We were having a problem with a telemarketer calling a particular number a
lot. The number was blocked and the customer was so frustrated that they
were ok with blocking all unknown numbers.  I used the following
translations on my h323 gateway

!
voice translation-rule 2
 rule 1 reject /^$/
!
!
voice translation-profile block_anon
 translate calling 2
!
dial-peer voice 90039 pots
 trunkgroup TWBackUp3T1s
 call-block translation-profile incoming block_anon
 incoming called-number 1234561234  !(Obviously just use the number you want
!	to block incoming calls to)
 direct-inward-dial


Seems to work ok, bad thing is it blocks all unknown calls.  Maybe you could
do some more translations to force the number to some sort of recording
requesting that the caller call back from an unblocked number

regarding telemarketers, i've used the story that the number they've called 
triggered an emergency response that costs a few thousand dollars to 
initiate and to be prepared to get a call from their local police and that 
if they don't remove this number right away that they will be charged on all

subsequent calls if not already charged on this one.

it works.
