PBX solutions for telemarketers, sales calls and scammers

June 7, 2016 8:54 PM

Do you have an IP PBX such as Asterisk? Do you receive unwanted sales, telemarketing and scam calls? Lenny can be installed to waste the time of all sorts of unwanted callers. The record so far is 48 minutes. Not enough? How about your own custom 666 extension with the world's worst hold music?

Oh man, I wish there was a Lenny iOS app. Somehow my cell number "got out there" and I've been dealing with solicitation/scam calls several times a week for over a year now.

sourwookie, send me a message with your email address, I'll send you a direct phone number that answers on the first ring as Lenny. You can transfer calls to it. I can't give it out publicly because it could go viral and cost money (even at 9/10ths of 1 cent per minute, thousands of minutes on the SIP trunk it's on could add up in terms of real world money).

The 666 extension has been covered previously.
