A system of a telecommunications network that uses IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network elements to screen inbound calls. A Media Resource Function (MRF) intercepts an inbound call and uses various techniques to screen the call. The MRF redirects the call to an interactive voice response (IVR) system, which prompts the caller to state the caller's name, records the caller's response, and relays it to the called subscriber, who can then decide to accept or reject the call. The system can present a random number challenge to the caller. The system can use machine learning analytics and a large language model (LLM) to analyze the response's contents, accepting the call only if it relates to a topic allowed by the subscriber, perform audio analysis to determine whether the caller sounds robotic, or detect whether the response contains other known robocall markers.
