Forwarding unwanted numbers to voicemail doesn't work
A member here suggested that I write down unwanted numbers here to be "blocked" and when they call they would be taken straight to voicemail. I just tested it and it doesn't work. Is there a way to get it to work?

Re: Forwarding unwanted numbers to voicemail doesn't work
I have never seen this syntax used in this way before. I suggest you try either 19052646704 or 9052646704 (whatever appears on your Caller ID and/or call history) but not both in the same rule.

Re: Forwarding unwanted numbers to voicemail doesn't work
The problem is the spaces between the comma and the next number. There should be no spaces.h25590 wrote:A member here suggested that I write down unwanted numbers here to be "blocked" and when they call they would be taken straight to voicemail.

You need to use the number exactly how it shows in your FPL call history.
It doesn't matter what you put in cwfd dest because everything will go to voicemail.

As noted above, it might be working but because FPL will not actually forward the call it will be redirected to your voicemail, where they will no doubt leave you a message.
As far as I know there is no current way to block certain numbers with FPL using an ATA, the best you can hope for is to send them to voicemail.
