Telemarketing (Junk) Call Blocker: Block Unwanted Telemarketing Calls
2008-11-18
Program to block junk calls. Connects to a serial port modem and listens for a caller ID. It then reads strings from a blacklist file and scans them against the caller ID. On a match, it sends off-hook/on-hook commands to the modem, terminating the call. The jcblock program uses a modem to detect calls, capture the call's caller ID and compare the fields in it to entries in a blacklist file. If a field matches, it sends off-hook and on-hook commands to the modem, which effectively terminates the call. On October 22, 2008 an item was posted on slashdot with the title "New Gadget Blocks 'Spam' Phone Calls". About 250 feedback responses were posted. Most were from irate victims of telemarketing calls describing their experiences. It seems that, even if you submit your phone number to a do-not-call list, you still get junk calls. The law allows for exemptions for political calls and calls from companies you have had dealings with recently. Telemarketers interpret these rules liberally. Here is a reference to the item: http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/10/22/1246200.shtml Since I have an aversion to allowing my personal information to be entered into any more databases than necessary, I have not submitted my number to a do-not-call list. I chose to handle the issue myself. So I built the jcblock system. I developed the program on a standard PC that has a serial port so that I could access a serial modem. The modem delivers caller ID text strings between the first and second rings of a call. The program runs fine on that PC/modem system and obediently terminates junk calls identified in a blacklist file. But this arrangement required the PC to be left on all the time. Since I didn't want to waist power for just this program, I decided to construct a low-power system based on PC/104 technology. The system that I ended up with draws twelve watts. It runs Damn Small Linux. The same program that I developed on the PC runs on the low-power system. So if you have had enough of telemarketing calls and want to do something about it, here's a place to start. The program is actually quite simple -- only about a dozen pages of C code. Please read the README file included in the project files for further details. The project may be reached by entering 'jcblock' in the SourceForge home page search window. Enjoy, and let me know how things go. If you make changes/improvements, please let us all know about them.
