SMS Blocking: 

1. This allows the PBX users to block any abusive users and add their caller-id to the blacklist module.

• Block SMS Logs: For all caller-ids that are added in blocklist module, then whenever we receive SMS from the Blacklisted user, then that SMS will be logged.

• SMS Reports: 

1. Generates the SMS report to capture the incoming, outgoing SMS records. This is the same like CDR reports which are for calls so this report can be used for monitoring SMS transactions.
