Re: [Anveo] 'CONTACT CHECK' + 'PRESS KEY' = PERFECT SPAM TRAP

said by drdigital1:

I have one concern about the solution: possible blocking of legitimate callers who have not been included in the white list and/or of legitimate callers from overseas who either don't speak English or don't have touch tone.

These are legitimate concerns but I don't have much callers from these categories and willing to pay the price. Plus everybody does get dropped into voicemail at the end, so it is just the same as I wasn't home and couldn't pick up.

yes, this works well. I have a similar setup at voip.ms and we have not had a telemarketer call in the more than 2 years this has been in place. In my case, I use the "caller ID filtering" feature for the white list (i.e. your contact list), and the IVR feature to ask friends and acquaintances to press 1, or others to press 2. Pressing 2 goes to voicemail. Pressing 1 rings the phone. don't forget to get the callerIDs of your local reverse911 service and add them to your contact list, if applicable in your area.
