Number Block Mask Issue

[Ultrajones]

Let's start with a summary of what you're trying to accomplish, the regex you're using, the telephone number you expect to be blocked, and a screenshot.

Absolutely. See screens attached, I would like to block all the area codes of 617. This is what I see in the log and the phone rings without blocking it:

12/9/2022 9:30:21 AM
UltraCID3
Informational
Incoming call from Testing, user (617) XXX-XXXX

12/9/2022 9:30:20 AM
UltraCID3
Informational
New incoming call detected ...

Ultrajones, curious if you know the answer. I understand you no longer support this plugin so I appreciate the time you are put into it.

[Ultrajones]

Try this to see if it works: ^(8(00|88|77|77)|617)

Thank you ultra Jones, happy holidays. I will check it out today and post the results back. So many telemarketers nowadays 🤣

UltraJones, thank you for trying. Unfortunately is not working and you already spent lot of time looking at this issue. I have attached the screens for reference.

guys I just tried it as well and it does not block incoming callers with the 617 area code. The modem drop caller command does work if I edit my callerid in the Caller Log and instruct it to block.

From my earlier tests the Use Number Block Mask did not work for me no matter what regex I tried. Even my own alternate phone number.

[alphatech]

Will40 thanks for verify it. Indeed it blocks the number only if is in the caller log and is blocked.

[alphatech]

As an FYI, also the Drop event is not working. I was trying to create a script that can call this event a drop the call based on the caller id, unfortunately the only option that I have is using the caller log and mark it as blocked and since telemarketer change numbers every time, this option is not a viable solution.

UltraJones, I guess Santa is not bringing any gift this year. The only hope would be if UltraJones gives me one instead by helping fixing this problem :-)

Happy holidays all.

Regex will be a perpetual mystery to me, but I think this will work: ^8(00|88|77|66|)|^6(17)

[alphatech]

I tried every combination but I will try this one to, will keep you posted. What is strange is that the Plugin works with some code but not for other, it will block the number if you tell him to block it in the number log but the drop event and the musk does not work. I was planning to write a code that Sue the event to drop but that function is not working either. I understand that ultra Jones is not supporting it anymore and is fair but I'm almost there, it is like going over "99 doors" but stuck on the last door and I ca not get out😁

Happy holidays

@ewkearns I tried it, same results but thanks for your suggestion.

[Ultrajones]

Okay, one last suggestion, try this (this would allow a character before the area code)

(8(00|88|77|77)|617)\d{7}

[alphatech]

I tried it without success, I think few of the modules or code are not working and maybe there were working before. Do you still have a previous plugin release that I can try?
