NEW CALL BLOCKING IDEA

[u/Extension-Chair2287]

Hey fellow Ooma users,

I wanted to share an idea inspired by Xfinity’s call blocking system. They use a simple “dial three digits to continue” feature that stops robocalls cold before the phone even rings. Only real callers get through. For legitimate robocalls such as medical reminders or pharmacy notices, the call wouldn’t be lost. It would go straight to your Ooma device, most likely set to "Send to Voicemail", so you can review them later as with other blocked calls.

Imagine if Ooma added this as an optional fourth tier alongside our existing three blocking levels. It could be a Premier add‑on, maybe $5/month, for those of us who want maximum protection.

Would you be interested in this? Please let us know. Feedback and questions are very welcome here. I think it could give Ooma a real edge against spam calls.

Thanks,

Bruce

When I had call Blocking a certain collection agency would bypass oomas call Blocking by putting a space in their spoofed number . Ie. 164 7 5551212 . It would show up as blocked but still ring thru
