This should come as standard with phones.
I get tens of spam calls a day. You know, the ones where they use multiple geographic area codes and ring you at a similar time every day.
When you answer, the delay and then the noise of their autodialler connecting you.
But when you look through your call logs, it’s clear these people have access to hundreds of presentation numbers in a certain range.
Being able to block by range of numbers means that the number of spam calls you get diminishes significantly and rapidly.
This app is simple to use and has cut down the annoying calls I get every day by around 95%.
To just block a single number wouldn’t be anywhere near as effective.
Brilliant app and everyone could benefit from understanding how these spammy call centres use consecutive number ranges to avoid the single number block.
Get it, block those ranges and get some peace back!!!!

Not effective at all
I receive calls from the same marketers multiple times throughout the week and it’s gotten to the point where I don’t answer the phone anymore because there’s a 90% chance it’s going to be spam. I’m not sure how effective this app is because marketers seemingly have unlimited access to numbers in all sorts of different area codes and today it’s telling me the app can no longer function properly because I exceeded the maximum number of phone numbers that the black list can support. So in other words the telemarketers and spammers continue to win. This is obviously something that carriers and maybe even Apple needs to address as third party apps that “address this problem” clearly have their limitations and as many numbers as I’ve blocked to still be getting calls daily or bi-daily I still question how effective these apps work and I have multiple ones including one from Verizon.

Used to be great
This App did work great but for some reason no longer works for me since updating iOS. Real shame
