Setting Up Call Barring

Explains how you can use Class of Service to block certain countries or numbers from being called.

HPBX makes it easy for you to block certain types of calls. In recent years this has been quite important for 2 reasons. It stops employees from making calls to places they don’t need to call as well as stopping hackers from defrauding your system.

First you need to login to HPBX and go to features then classes of service.
