International Call Limit
To prevent toll fraud, you need to pay particular attention to the trunk that is used to make international calls.
Limit Call Credit
Before you set up the trunk on your PBX, ask the trunk provider to limit the credit of international calls.
If you don't need to make international calls, ask the provider to disable international call service on the trunk.
Set Password for the International Outbound Calls
Set a single PIN for the outbound route that allows international calls, when the users dial international numbers, the PBX will ask the users to enter a PIN.
Note: You can also set a PIN list for the outbound route, and assign different PIN
numbers to the users who have permission to make international calls.
- If the PIN is correct, the PBX will call the international number.
- If the PIN is incorrect, the PBX will drop the call.
