Stopping bot attacks on phone switch

I work at a small company with intent to grow substantially. So we've installed VoIP and now a bot is sending packet requests to our phone switch. Our firewall is blocking them but I'd like to "move the goalpost" to stop the requests. I thought to just change the port but I've read online that won't solve the problem in the long run. I don't think changing the IP address would resolve it either and that requires a new configuration of all related phones. With these phone systems it seems to be a bit more involved since it connects to a VoIP provider. Is there something typically embedded in these systems like a configuration key that would stop the requests?
