I've got a secondary number thru ooma that I want to keep. The problem is, it gets 15-20 scam calls a day. I was hoping to fwd it to a line that just rings and rings. Ideally, no automated pick up for any reason. I turned off voice mail on ooma but after some rings, a system message comes on and says something like - this number is not accepting voice mails. I assume if I find something that just rings the scam calls would start to go away. Thoughts?

I heard it suggested in the past that sending telemarketer calls to a SIT VC (Vacant code) tone would result in their automatic robot-dialers recognizing this as a disconnected or not in service number and quickly deleting it from their database but if the calls you are targeting are coming from low-budget scammers doing the dialing themselves without the more sophisticated autodial equipment that would understand a SIT then likely not to be as effective. With one employer (who I now haven't worked for in years) we had enough trouble with telemarketer calls we programmed an extension with an announce-only mailbox to emit a SIT VC and recording such that we could just one button transfer the calls to it and make them go away.
