Hello out there,
I am not new based on what you see from this account. I have experience managing Cisco Call Manager starting with version 5 and Avaya as well. Just happen to be on this account it shows new user, not new.
Anyway here is my question and thank you so much in advance-
What is the current best practice recommendation from Cisco regarding how to block specific numbers for unwanted calls with Cisco CUCM version 14?
I saw this online as an option but I don't think this is the best practice way because it seems a bit complex for just blocking specific unwanted numbers so if you continue to receive calls from 555-555-5555 what is the best way to block that inbound unwanted call with minimal configuration and minimal change to the overall way that calls are processed?
I saw this as a proposed solution online and I do not believe this is the best practice methodology for Cisco CUCM 14:
To me in my style of thought this is too much of a change to the way inbound calls are processed by having to enable the feature
Route calls based on calling party number --- To me this seems like too much administrative overhead.
