Allow or Block List Calls
When your phone number is tied up with telemarketing — or worse, scam — phone calls, you’re missing out on potential business revenue or important personal calls. EasyRinger’s VoIP blocklist feature puts you in control by letting you easily block or allow calls by creating personalized lists. It's also easy to change your call block list if your needs change.
Trusted Phone Numbers and Caller IDs
You never have to worry about accidentally blocking a number. Using the allow list, you can easily add trusted numbers and caller IDs so your important calls will always come through. This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that receive frequent calls from known contacts.
Including International Calls
Your call block list can include international numbers in addition to domestic ones. If you’re getting pesky calls from overseas, just add them to your number blocker. It can be extremely difficult to track or report fraudulent international callers, so blocking them is the best way to eliminate them.
Intuitive Blacklist Management
EasyRinger’s user-friendly interface makes blacklisting a phone number simple. Just create and activate your account to get started. A simple click of a button lets you block a number. As soon as you add a number to the blacklist, any future calls originating from it will be blocked.
Use the allow list to include trusted numbers from family, friends, or important clients. When using the allow list, only the allowed numbers can call you, while all others will be blocked, ensuring that you only receive calls from those you trust.
Because blacklist management is part of your service, it easily integrates with our other features. Blocked numbers can’t leave voicemail messages and won’t show up on your caller ID. However, calling a blocked number is simple if you need to do so.
Benefits of Blacklisting Calls with a Virtual Number
Unwanted calls are a nuisance for your business. If a potential client calls and can’t get through because you’re dealing with a spammy telemarketer, you can lose out on money-making opportunities. When you blacklist numbers you don’t want to get through, you avoid wasting time and money dealing with them.
Only Take the Calls that Matter
The blocklist features lets you prioritize the calls that matter. Spend your time on important work calls and building relationships with your customers. With a blocklist, you can rest assured you’re prioritizing calls that are professionally or personally important.
Easily Block or Allow Phone Numbers
You may have heard the terms “whitelist” or “blacklist” in computer programming terminology. However, you don’t need any specialized skills to use these features with EasyRinger. Our simple and intuitive interface will lead you through the process with just a few clicks.
Plus, you aren't limited to blocking a single number at a time. You can also block large groups of numbers. For example, if you only take calls from local clients in your state, you can block all area codes outside of your local area.
Improved Security
A blocklist adds an additional layer of security for your business. It can help prevent spam, robocalls, and potentially malicious phone calls. Given that many scammers first gain access through phone calls, blocking these calls can protect your business from potential fraud and social engineering cybersecurity attacks.
Other Features
In addition to the VoIP blocklist feature, EasyRinger offers many other convenient features for managing your phone number.
Voicemail
Create personalized messages to greet your customers using our voicemail services. Instead of a robotic automated greeting, you can reinforce your branding by recording a welcome that reflects your brand values.
Call Forwarding
Our advanced call-forwarding options let you choose to have all of your calls forwarded to one device, push them to an email client, or send them to a second device. You can choose the method that works for your needs and provides the best customer experience for your clients.
Caller ID
See who’s calling before you pick up the phone using our caller ID feature. This can be used in conjunction with the block list. If you answer the phone and realize it’s a spammer, you’ll have their number on hand to add to your blocked numbers.
Interactive Voice Menus
With interactive voice menus, you can give your customers a choice of which department they want to reach. They can receive tailored attention from the moment their call is answered. You can also set up interactive voice menus to automatically deliver important information to your customers, such as your hours or business updates.
Virtual Number Blocklist FAQs
A blocklist — also called a blacklist — is a list of numbers that can't make calls to your number. As soon as you add them to your blocklist, all incoming calls from that number are blocked. You won’t be notified they called, and they won’t be able to leave a voicemail.
You can blacklist a number by adding it to your blocklist. Log into your EasyRinger account on the internet and blacklist a number from the website. Simply click on the gear icon on your number card.
