Sometimes you may come across telemarketers, scam calls, or individuals that you no longer wish to speak to. 3CX systems have a feature that allows you to blacklist these using a settings module called "Blacklisted Numbers".
Blacklisting a number
On a dedicated 3CX instance you are able to use the management console to monitor and moderate many features, one feature includes the blacklist. To add a number to the blacklist, please follow these steps:
- Log into the management console and navigate to the Security tab on the left-hand side. After expanding this you should see a menu called Blacklisted Numbers.
- Clicking this will take you to a page similar to the one below. Click on the blue + Add button to add in a number.
- Enter the number you wish to blacklist in E164 format. For example, if you wish to block the number 02 9083 6690 you'd enter 61290836690. Please note: This is an example only, this is Yamo's main number, I wouldn't recommend blacklisting this as it would prevent us from reaching you.
- Enter a helpful description. This allows you to review this page and see why you blocked a specific number.
