Does CallerID Filtering work with SMS messages coming from a 5 digit sender? If a sender is blocked, is there any report that would indicate an attempt occurred and that it was filtered? Thanks. ---

Hello, Currently we don’t have any tool that would allow you to filter SMS/MMS , we do apologize for the inconvenience. ---

Hi I have successfully used the API getCDR to retrieve records. Now I want to use the setCallerIDFiltering API endpoint to create new caller id filtering records. My goal is to create new caller id filters of type System =\> Hangup. However, I am not sure what values to assign for this endpoint. Voip.ms documentation for this endpoint is copied below. The big mystery is “routing” parameter which is likely reference to “System =\> Hangup” but what are the possible values and syntax? Thanks! setCallerIDFiltering Parameters filter =\> ID for a specific Caller ID Filtering (Example: 18915 / Leave empty to create a new one) callerid =\> [Required] Caller ID that triggers the Filter (i = Not North American format, 0 = Anonymous, NPANXXXXXX, s or sb or sc = STIR/SHAKEN Attestation Level, p = All Phone Book, p:XXXX = Specific Phone Book Group) did =\> [Required] DIDs affected by the filter (all, NPANXXXXXX) routing =\> [Required] Route the call follows when filter is triggered failover\_unreachable =\> Route the call follows when unreachable failover\_busy =\> Route the call follows when busy failover\_noanswer =\> Route the call follows when noanswer note =\> Note for the Caller ID Filtering Output Array ( [status] =\> success [filtering] =\> 18915 ) “method”: “setCallerIDFiltering”, “filter”: “”, # Leave empty to create a new one “callerid”: callerid, # The number to filter eg 5146360002 “did”: “all”, “routing”: ? Required, need this but what values to put here? eg System =\> Hangup? “failover\_unreachable”: ? Optional but what values could go here? “failover\_busy”: ? Optional but what values could go here? “failover\_noanswer”: ? Optional but what values could go here? “note”: ? # Text note about this filter ---

SMS is a major vector for scammers and unwanted spam. It seems strange to provide so many features for blocking and filtering incoming calls but completely neglect SMS. ---

We have a problem with MANY spam calls. (Our calls are NOT SMS.) Challenge with VOIP.ms is that calls are not registering on the Call register (under finance)function so we cannot ‘blacklist’ them. What do you suggest that we do? ---

If the calls are not registering through VoIP.ms, it’s possible they are reaching your device directly and bypassing the VoIP.ms platform entirely. You may want to consider blocking direct IP calling to determine if that resolves the issue.
