Yep. Unfortunately as already noted its not perfect - plenty of people ignore it (afaik illegally, call from outside the UK, or most inciduously have permission to call you because they bought the number from someone who bought the number from someone who bought the number from someone who you accidentally ticked the 'you and anyone you sell my number to can call me' tick boxes on a form 15 years ago.

Are you using the example configs? If so you can make a local call, like to 9664, and then run hash_dump again.

In the example config there's already a "call return" feature that utilizes the last received caller ID value. If there was a valid caller ID number sent then it will be stored in the local database, which is where the call_return extension gets it from.

P.S. - If you haven't already started using the FS local database then check it out. Try the "hash_dump all" command at fs_cli to get an idea of what gets stored.

HI all,

 

My mother has made a request and Mom’s always get our best effort right?

 

For those of you outside the US, we have a national Do Not Call Registry: www.donotcall.gov.  You register your number there and in 30 days or less you are on the list.  Telemarketers are required by law to check the list before calling and not call if you are on it.

 

It does certainly help, but overseas call centers tend to ignore it and of course the excluded groups from the law “charities, political organizations, and telephone surveyors” may still call you.

 

So it is simple enough for her to tell
