Call Blocking

From within the Cymbus app, you can block a phone number that is 7 digits or longer so that you won't receive future calls. Callers will hear a busy signal. The numbers you blocked using the app will be added to your custom screening rules. You can view them under the Call Screening section in your User Voice Portal or right within the app.

Each user can block up to 200 numbers. Phone numbers shorter than 7 digits, such as an extension, cannot be blocked using the app.
