Freeze the Cold Callers with IceBl0ck

IceBl0ck telephone blocker

IceBl0ck is an advanced landline telephone call blocker for the Raspberry Pi with some features never seen before on a blocker. So many that you might not even use the blocking feature.

IceBl0ck is intended for things like home automation and is not a simple "press a button to block your last call" device - it provides so much more features.

Plug the USB Modem into your Pi, switch it on and setup your personal telephone numbers list to stop nuisance callers and get some amazing extra features too (see below).

All you need is the Caller ID service provided by your telephone provider.

IceBl0ck detects the incoming number using the Caller ID service then performs the actions you told it to do.

Please see our ebay listing to buy the USB modem that's compatible with our software.

  • Change a 7 coloured status LED to a specific colour based on the incoming callers phone number (additional cable required).
