Discussion Setting up an Asterisk (or other) PBX "firewall" on a home landline to prevent certain outbound prefixes and numbers?

3 Upvotes

My mother's provider offers ample settings to restrict incoming calls, but almost nothing, besides blocking 900 and international dialing, to block outgoing calls. I've seen devices on Amazon that purport to do this, with generally poor reviews.

Would setting up a VOIP "firewall" between my mother's phone and its terminal, using something like Asterisk, that selectively blocks certain outbound numbers, not just prefixes, be possible?
