CUCM 10.5 + MGCP VG Blocking 'Anonymous' calls

Hello to all.
I currently have a CUCM 10.5 installation with a 2921 VG configured with MGCP. 
The problem experienced is that when someone calls with hidden caller id, the provider sends the Calling Party Number as 'anonymous'.
This causes CUCM not to process the call and reject it.
The odd thing is that I have another customer with CUCM 5.X with a similar setup (MGCP VG & anonymous as the caller ID ) where calls are processed without a problem.
I've searched the forums and saw other experincing the same issue as we are, even with CUCM 7+, however no answer or solution was provided.
Changing to H323 is not an option at this point.
Any input would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris.

Hello Carlo,
Here is the output from the VG when dialing inwards through a phone with CallerID disabled.
I also just spoke with Cisco TAC and they have told me there is no current  work-around and that we need to change the VG to H323.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Chris.

  • Call Blocking on Anonymous Calls

    What prefix code can I use to allow me to call a number that is blocking anonymous calls.  I am ex-directory.  This is one for Devon-David I think.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and welcome.
    Not sure I fully understand the question.
    If you want to call a number and you dont want them to see your number you would use the prefix 141.
    If your own number is currently witheld and by you calling someone you want them to see your number the prefix is 1470.
    Hope that helps, if not perhaps just run me through the scenario of what you want to acheive.

  • Anonymous calls, Unknown Callers and 10 number limit on call blocking feature

    I have FIOS Digital Voice. I hope that someone can give me information to help me out - because like many others here, right now I am regretting having this and have it unplugged more than plugged in - for a service I am paying for.
    My number is unlisted.
    In my account I have it checked to reject anonymous calls.  However, I am still getting calls that are "unknown callers" and "unavailable" numbers. So, if I have it set to reject these calls why am I still receiving them.
    Also, why is there such a low limit of adding blocked phone numbers to  your account? It is almost like a part-time weekly job to rotate through all the numbers adding new ones, deleting old ones - and they are able to do this much easier, quicker, and they are getting paid, while I am the one paying for this service - which isn't working.
    Can anyone let me know why the unknown callers are still getting through and if there is a way to add more than 10 numbers to the blocked list?
    As it is, my home phone is unplugged because it has become a useless payment unless this can be addressed. 
    Thanks
    BTW - Are the web/tech guys aware that when you are signed into your account, if you click on "support" from the top menu for "phone", it takes you to a completely different area and asks you to sign in again - but if you click on the "support from the left menu for "phone" it takes you where you need to go. But the website is a whole other can of worms.

    This might help answer your questions.

  • Anonymous Call block not working

    I had the 'Anonymous call block' feature included with my bundle but I am still getting calls from anonymous callers, telemarketers of course, on a daily basis.
    Help?

    Hello mhicks,
    In your original post you only said "Help?"
    You received some things that should help. at the top of all the folders is a disclaimer "These Forums are a peer-to-peer support channel in which users help other users. If you need an answer from Verizon directly please Contact Us. ".
    If you are here wanting someone at Verizon to answer "how my order was never filled correctly to begin with and that I am in fact paying for services not rendered." then you are unlikely to ever find an answer here.
    People here are good at helping others solve problems and a few Verizon staffers chime in with solutions as well but the specific question you are looking for an answer to won't likely get answered.
    Hope you get things working the way you want. I hate telemarketers as well. Fortunately the donotcall list has been working pretty well for me.

  • Block incoming anonymous calls

    Hi,
    I'm trying to block incoming blocked/unknown/anonymous callers over a sip trunk? I've creaed a translation rule and applied it:
    voice translation-rule 5000
    rule 1 reject /^$/
    voice translation-profile CallBlock5000
    translate calling 5000
    dial-peer voice xxxx voip
    call-block translation-profile incoming CallBlock5000
    call-block disconnect-cause incoming invalid-number
    To try it out, I'm dialing (from a normal/off network cell and landline) *67 and then the number. This does not work; only if I match the exact number I'm calling from, then it does get blocked.
    When I show sip calls during the *67 call I see the calling number is blank.
       Calling Number         :
    When I show sip calls during the regular call, I see the proper Calling Number.
    As I understand it, with Call Manager and phones running SCCP, I cannot enable/use anonymous call blocking; so I do have to enforce the call blocking policy at this gateway device (UC520).
    I'm very new to Cisco voice, so sorry I'f I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, I tried the rule--still private gets through.

    How do I block anonymous or unknown calls on the I phone 5 and 6?

        Thank you for messaging us, mandmc. Being able to customize and block unwanted callers is important. In order to be able to block unknown numbers, there is a service feature that we offer through Family Base that allows you to block all unknown callers: http://vz.to/1sSnjqp
    You can also search for apps that can help with this, but be sure to check reviews to make sure they do work correctly.

  • Blocking Anonymous Phone Calls

    How can I block anonymous phone calls in Tampa, FL?

    I don't think you can block those numbers with the free blocking option, but you can block them with Usage Controls, which will allow you to block up to 20 numbers, including Restricted numbers, 411, and "000-000-0000."  It costs $4.99 per line. It has other features as well.:
    http://www.vzw.com/usagecontrols
    If you don't want to pay for the service, you could just not answer and/or send the calls to voice mail; maybe after a few attempts they'll quit calling.
    Good luck!

  • I've blocked anonymous but it doesn't work for all: unavailable, no name, etc

    It appears this question has been asked numerous times, but there is no response from Verizon. What's the deal here? I don't want to call Verizon because when I do, I'm inundated with calls from them, which I'm trying to decrease not increase. Honestly, Verizon reminds me of an ex who takes a break up badly, and I don't want to encourage continued calls, but I need to know how to stop this.

    It does work.  The problem is that anonymous call rejection doesn't do what you want it to do!    ACR blocks calls from people who withhold their telephone number by entering the ACR code on their phone.  "Unavailable" and "no name" callers have not used the ACR code to block their telephone number, so the call comes through.   It's a loophole in the regulation and there is no way for the consumer to get around it.
    If you feel motivated enough, a letter to the FCC or your congressman asking them to fix the loophole is your best recourse.

  • BT's anonymous calls policy

    First let me state my opinion on anonymous calls:
    Imagine if a heavily disguised person approached your front door, wearing a balaclava, trenchcoat and dark sunglasses, then spoke to you through a voice disguiser, and demanded access to your home, whilst refusing to identify himself.
    Would you let him in?
    No? Then why would you answer an anonymous call (withheld number)?
    AFAIAC anonymous calls are profoundly immoral, totally unjustifiable, and potentially dangerous (scams, stalking, etc.), so why are they not only tolerated, but actually encouraged by BT? I fail to understand why such a sinister thing is even legal in Britain.
    So I find it rather perplexing that BT should not only offer this service at all, but actually encourage potential stalkers and scammers with this service for free, whilst incredibly charging the potential victims for the privilege of being protected against this abuse (Anonymous Caller Reject service), at the rate of £16 per quarter plus VAT.
    I find this policy completely backwards and morally bankrupt.
    Can anyone justify it?

    Thanks, but like every other BT customer, I already have Caller Display, since this is now a standard (and free) calling feature on all lines.
    It doesn't help though, since the message "Withheld Number" doesn't actually tell me who is withholding that number (obviously), and thus doesn't help me in the slightest to make an informed decision about whether or not to answer the call. Is it a wrong number? Is it a scammer? Is it a friend, who just so happens to misguidedly withhold his number? I have no idea, and absolutely no way to tell.
    This is why I use the "Anonymous Caller Reject" service, because it lets the caller know their call has been blocked, and the only way it's going to be accepted is if they allow their number to be seen.
    However, this doesn't help much with so-called "Out of Area" calls - calls which are (or pretend to be) from outside BT's network, and whose local network does not forward (or deliberately withholds) CLI (Caller Line Identification) data. Apparently this also includes at least one of BT's own services ("Fixed Text"), which dubiously informs landline owners by automated recording that someone mistakenly tried sending an SMS message to their landline.
    Why one of BT's own services is not on their own network (or pretends as much) is quite a mystery. To most people, the endlessly persistent calls from this automated service will be nothing more than a source of curiosity and irritation. To people, like me, who are carpet-bombed by anonymous and "Out of Area" calls, many of which are from criminal groups operating fake lottery syndicates, BT's "Out of Area" calls only further contribute to the terror, despair, and feeling of helplessness. The British police seem just as helpless in the face of these foreign gangs, and quite apathetic with it.
    This is just one of the reasons why people need BT's help to protect their privacy and safety. But instead, BT seem to actually be making it easy for their customers to be harassed, or scammed, or worse, to the point where even BT themselves are using "Out of Area" networks (or perhaps just spoofing it) for their own services.
    This is what I believe BT and/or Ofcom should be doing to protect British landline (and even mobile) users:
    Anonymous calling should be banned outright. End of discussion.
    Ditto for fake "Presentation Numbers", which are just as sinister, and worse - deceptive (foreign callers appear to be calling from within the UK)
    "Out of Area" calls (real or otherwise) should be classified as anonymous for call screening purposes, and customers should be given the option to block such calls at exchange level. And not have to pay for the privilege.
    Meanwhile, Ofcom should give all other networks a deadline by which they must start forwarding accurate CLI data to BT's network, after which time such calls will simply be blocked at the primary/international exchanges. This CLI data must also be verifiable and resolve to the actual line making the call (i.e. not a deceptive "Presentation Number").
    The UK government needs to introduce tougher legislation to deal with deceptive and/or clandestine calling practises, against both the perpetrators and those complicit with their behaviour.
    Anonymous calls, "Out of Area" calls, and false "Presentation Numbers" are completely unnecessary, unjustifiable, profoundly unethical, sinister, and an actual threat to our safety and privacy, and as such should be banned and criminalised.
    Anyone who feels this is an extreme view, is welcome to swap their telephone number with mine, and deal with the consequences.

  • Blocking unwanted calls

    I understand I can block calls with *77.   My stupid question - do you hit *77 while the call is in progress, or do you have to list the number somewhere?    Thanks.

    *77 is to turn on anonymous call rejection. You only have to turn this on once. You do it when no one is on the phone. You pick up the phone, hear the dial tone, then dial *77. Hang-up afterwards.

    I have anonymous call rejection on my phone, but it doesn't seem to work.  Several times a day I get a call that shows up as "Not_Available" "Unknown Number."
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    YES, the past few months I have experience many more calls from tele-marketers, timeshare resellers and small business vendors offering their services, Although I am registered with the National Do Not Call Registry, they still try to call me at my residential phone all hours of the day.  
    I depend upon my home phone provider to offer the feature of 'anonymous call rejection' and have entered the *77 to block them
    but
    this feature is not working as advertised.
    Enhancement request, stop sending through calls where CallerID 'Not_Available'. I have no way of knowing whom is calling, nor do I have a way to report a complaint since I cannot identify the company or phone number calling me. Cannot see a call log of incoming calls either.

  • How do I block anonynous calls

    I received a call this morning at 4:38 am that had the caller id info blocked.  How do I block these anonymous calls?  If I only get the reply "sign up for family base" (additional overpriced monthly fee), I will just start shopping around for another carrier when my contract expires September 28th.

    Look into You Mail or Google Voicemail services - they are free third party options and do offer options for dealing with anonymous or ":unavailable" incoming numbers.
