Block Directory Assistance 3

[mediatr4]

I want to block all extensions from dialing 411 and XXX-555-XXXX

Can I do this with WinSPM?

Yes, use "Disallow list" and "disallow to".

That should do it for you.

Thanks,

I created the following disallowed list and applied it to all extensions:

411
1411
555
ppp555
1ppp555

However, it doesnt seem to be working for the ppp555 entry. Any idea why?

I ended up creating a disallowed list like this:

2pp5551212
3pp5551212
3pp5551212
4pp5551212
5pp5551212
6pp5551212
7pp5551212
8pp5551212
9pp5551212

and that seems to have done the trick

I guess you can't use a wildcard as the first #

We JUST decided to do the same - block all 411 & 555-1212 calls so thanks for this post! I do have one question though - how do you create the 'p' character!?

I tried hitting '7' multiple times (like text messaging) but only get a string of 7s... I tried using the buttons corresponding to the letters on the system console phone but I get that low-toned boop sound....

Thanks for any tips / advice!

Pressing the "HOLD" button will give you the Pause.

Ohhhh! The HOLD button! Never thought of trying that! Excellent!!! And thanks for answering mediatr4's post about how to do the blocking. As soon as I saw your reply regarding '"Disallow List" and "Disallow To"' I had the solution implemented in 10min. Much appreciated!
