Peculiarities
To bar a specific type of call (for example, bar only voice calls), you must specify the code for the type of calls you want to bar. If the call type code is NOT specified, ALL call types are barred.
The Call Barring service does not work with the Call Forwarding service.
You can call emergency services (101, 102, 103, 104, 112) in any case, regardless of the ban.
Only one incoming and one outgoing direction can be prohibited at the same time. Setting a new ban leads to the cancellation of the previous ban in the same direction.
