Blocking all numbers based on country code

Hi,


I'm getting scam calls from UK (+44) multiple times a day and I've blocked hundreds of these numbers by now, but they keep calling with a new number every day.


I understand that iOS only allows blocking a range of 50 million numbers. This is unfortunate as there is theoretically 10 billion UK numbers possible (10 digits).


Is there a way to block all numbers starting with +44?


If not then I would highly suggest this to be a feature in iOS.

iOS does not support blocking groups of numbers based on partial information. You can see if your carrier can block international numbers based on country code. That is a possibility. This is a user to user support forum and Apple does not participate here. If you wish to provide feedback to Apple regarding a change you would like to see, a change you didnā€™t like, or report a bug, then use the feedback link here, Feedback - iPhone - Apple
