[cisco-voip] How Do I block calls when the caller id shows UNKNOWN?

[Pat Hayes]

If you do decide to send the calls to Unity, you do have the option 
there, as originally requested, to prompt the caller for their name, 
this is configured on each users call transfer page with a checkbox 
(you'd update all of them with bulk edit, presumably). This may or may 
not cause other problems for you, though, if you use Unity for other AA 
functionality, as it would ask those users for their name as well. There 
isn't any way to have Unity prompt some callers for their name before 
transfer and not others.
