I would suggest against transferring the call to a fax, if you do, you have just added your voice number to a junk fax list. -------- Original message -------- From: Frank Bulk Date:04/04/2014 4:43 PM (GMT-05:00) To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Strange inbound Calls Here's a good posting an issue that has affected some Iowans: https://www.facebook.com/LibertyCommunications/posts/846381498708860 Frank -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Jay Hennigan Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 2:09 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Strange inbound Calls On 10/2/13 11:53 AM, Nick Olsen wrote:
If the call is answered by a human, They hear nothing on the other side. I will ask our receptionist to allow the call to continue for a minute or so and see if it hangs up at the 60 second mark.
Timing our own IVR. It takes exactly 60 seconds, If you press nothing to get all the way 1 second in to voicemail. As these calls always appear leaving 1 second voicemails.
OK, I've seen junk-fax wardialers with similar behavior but if answered by a person you usually hear a series of beeps. Try forwarding a dead-air call to a fax machine if you can, see if you get a junk fax. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
