Anonymous Call Rejection enables a user to reject calls from anonymous parties who have explicitly restricted their Caller ID. By activating the service via a web interface, callers without available caller ID are informed that the user is not accepting calls at that time. The user’s phone does not ring and the user sees or hears no indication of the attempted call. This service does not apply to calls from within the group.
If a user in a Call Queue Group has Anonymous Call Rejection enabled and a “withheld” caller reaches the front of the queue, the call will not be delivered to the user with Anonymous Call Rejection, even if that user is available.
The call will wait until another user without Anonymous Call Rejection enabled becomes available.
Only a Company Administrator can set up a user with Anonymous Call Rejection.
