Blocking calls by "Caller ID"

Over the past few months (even though my numbers are on the "Do not call list") I have been getting more and more calls with the caller ID of "Marketing"! I like many here I'm sure hate this crap and usually just pick up and hang up.
The problem really becomes an issue when I am not home and my VM picks up; I am getting so many that I have to go threw before I get to my real voice mails that I am wishing for a way I can just block by the CID or "Marketing".
Anyone else?

I have been getting the same irrating calls for a number of years. There are some online sites that will identify those suspecious numbers, and you can leave comments. You can also report them to the FCC.gov site, not that they will instantly stop the calls. My landline phone is a Panasonic Detc 6, with a 30 # caller ID and call block memory. Any number you enter in the call block will only ring once, then the line is hung up. To bad I can't program the "SIT" tone for the call block to use, that would be the end of that caller. Check out Telezapper II . There are other products also.
Verizon could block these "SPOOFED" calls easily, the caller ID number shown is almost always an invalid or not in service number. That violates the FCC 2010 " Truthin Calling" act. If you dial the number shown, you will most always get the phone co's SIT tone and the message "the number you have dialed is no longer in service"
Once again, I will say that Verizon could easily block any call with an invalid caller ID number, there system could check that befor you even get the first ring.
Search "call blockers", Google has lots of answers.

How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

Hi,Guys
I wrote an application server(daemon process) to talk with oracle server
continuous which used oracle9 OCCI lib, each 5 min it executes the procedure
on the DB server.
Now I have come cross a problem:
If the network is blocked, app server will blocked at occi call and would
never pass, and no exception was catched :-(
for e.g.
1. Oracle server reboot without shutdown oracle process
2. udp broadcast message storm blocked the connection between app server and
oracle DB.
I consider maybe it's because OCCI using the blocking mode of connection
that caused this problem.
How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

Manage the timeout using a separate thread. When the timeout happens, issue a break on the OCCI connection. There is no direct way as of now. You need to do this to break a OCCI connection.
retrieve the OCI handle from the OCCI handle (e.g. using Connection::getOCIServer or Connection::getOCIServiceContext methods) and issue a OCIBreak on it. Do not forget to allocate a error handle which should be passed to OCIBreak call.

Call blocking is a carrier feature. In the U.S., most major carriers offer blocking features. Give yours a call.

Non blocking stored proc call

HI
I have written a c application using OCI which can call stored proc. but that is using blocking call. Is it possible to call stored proc in non blocking mode? So that I can receive output in call back function. Actually stored proc take much time to execute can I associate some Subscription callback-function with my stored proc call. Any idea?
Thanks
Kamran

If you want to do non-blocking calls in OCI, you just need to set the server handle (svrhp below) attribute:
sb2 polling=1;
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *)svrhp,
(ub4)OCI_HTYPE_SERVER,
(dvoid *)&polling,
(ub4)0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_NONBLOCKING_MODE,
(OCIError *) errhp);
And then you call you OCIExecute() as you would in blocking mode. The difference is that instead of blocking until the call is done on the server, it always returns immediately. So instead of calling it just once per statement and checking the return code, you must keep calling OCIExecute() until it does not equal OCI_STILL_EXECUTING. When the proc is done, the final call to OCIExecute() will then be OCI_SUCCESS, OCI_ERROR, whatever happened.

Blocking incoming collect calls in the voice gateway

Hello
I am using a C3825 router and I want to block incoming collect calls. I tried the command "double-answer" under cas-custom but it is not working. Does anyone have an alternative? I am using an E1 R2 digital.
Thank you
Marcos

Jonathad,
OP is not in the US, and does not have ISDN, has E1 R2 instead
E1 R2 has a method to block collect calls called double-answer. This method is supported and documented by Cisco.
But for some reason it doesn't work for OP.
In these case, it is necessary to involve an experienced consultant, if not TAC escalation directly.

"Do not disturb" can not block "No ID CALL"

"Do not disturb" can not block "No ID CALL"
I tuned on Do Not Disturb and selected allow Favorites can call in. In iOS6 it can block the call No ID, but in iOS7 can not. Is it bug?

Make sure your 'Show in Lock Screen' options didn't get changed for any of those apps you want to see. Mine are still showing up just fine with DND turned on.

DIO Port Config & DIO Port Write Block Diagram Errors (Call Library Function Node:library not found or failed to load)

Hi Guys, need help on this.
I have this LabVIEW program that used to work on the old computer.
The old computer crashes most of the time, so I upgraded the computer
and used its Hard Drive as slave to the new computer.
I have no idea where are its installers since the guy that made the program
is not in my department anymore.
I downloaded all the drivers needed from NI: NIDAQ9.0, NIVISA,NI488.2,
and drivers of some instruments needed in the setup. I'm using LabVIEW8.2.
Everything's fine until I open the LabVIEW program for our testing.
Here goes the error:
   DIO Port Config
   DIO Port Write
Block Diagram Errors
   Call Library Function Node: library not found or failed to load

Honestly, I'm a newbie on Labview. I just want this old program to run on the new computer.
The guys that installed the drivers on the old computer are no longer here in my department.
And I have no idea where the drivers are. So I just downloaded the drivers needed for my hardware and instruments.
Here's my hardware: (cards: PCI-DIO-96, PCI-GPIB), (instruments: SCB100,E4407B, HP83623, HP3458, HP8657)
OS: Windows XP Pro
By the way, I have unzipped the TraditionalDAQ drivers. First I tried the 7.4.1, but installation error appeared.
I thought maybe the installer is corrupted, so I downloaded the 7.4.4 and unzipped it.
But, still same installation error appears. I don't understand, both TraditionalDAQ drivers have same installation error.
Now I have tried the DAQmx8.7.2 driver, bu still the DIO Port Config and DIO Port Write have errors.

Contact your carrier and ask them.

HT1688 Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

Is there any App for blocking the International calls on my phone?

No.
For security reasons, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs which such an app would require.
You want to stop being able to place such calls or stop receiving such calls?
If the latter, try stopping it at the source by contacting your carrier.

Blocking incoming Restricted Calls

Hello!
Does anyone know how to block incoming restricted calls? I have gotten an unusal amount in the past week; no one ever answers or leaves messages. I am starting to get concerned and a little nervous. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated thanks!
thank you so much!!

You have to pay $4.99/month for the 20 number call blocking plan. Apparently in that add on, there is an option to block, restricted and unknown calls from coming through.

Blocking incoming collect calls

Hi,
This was asked by one of my students. Can anyone help answer it?
"I would like to block incoming collect calls in the voice gateway,
but I'm using R2 digital E1. I need to check the destinations numbers, and depends of the number, It’ll accept or reject the collect calls.
On the last PVT of Unified communications in Brazil, some people commented of to do this block do with TCL scripts with Double-Answer, but I don’t know much about TCL script."
Thanks, Janine

Janine,
if i understand your requirement correctly..you can reject the call using translation rule and mapping to dial-peer.
Reject call on voice router
voice translation-rule 100
rule 1 reject /xxxxxxxxxx/
voice translation-profile reject
translate calling 100
voice-port x/x/x:23
translation-profile incoming reject
First, create a translation rule that will identify the incoming call:
voice translation-rule 100
rule 1 reject /2124290000/
rule 2 reject /4089988472/
voice translation-profile call_block_profile
translate calling 100
dial-peer voice 111 pots
incoming called-number .
call-block translation-profile incoming call_block_profile
call-block disconnect-cause incoming invalid_number
Then place that translation profile into your inbound dial-peer. It you don't have one defined, create one using the incoming called-number dial-peer command, as so:
The call-block command allows the gateway to give a disconnect message rather than just a fast busy.

How to block private incoming calls on iphone4, how to block private incoming calls on iphone4

how to block private incoming calls on my i phone4

It might not be any use to your situation but I find adding a default ringtone to those unwanted callers helps me decide whether or not to pick up the phone.
If it's cold callers that trouble you I would defintely reccomend this option.
If they know your not answering they will (although it may take some time) leave you alone.

Can i block a no caller id number from my prepaid plan?

i keep getting a bad prank calls from people saying rude things and i need to block them my son answered my cell phone and herd some frighting stuff so i need to make it so blocked or no caller ids can call me any more? my phone is the prepaid iphone 4

There's not much you can do. You can't block a number when there is no number. Verizon can not see the number when they are blocked. So no way to block a "no caller ID" or "Private" or whatever it says. They probably use *67 to block their number. You can use *77 to send them a message to reveal their number if they want to reach you. *87 will disable that. Try to ignore those calls. Talk to your kid/kids about it. If it says "Unknown Caller", don't answer. But if you can, *77 is effective.
