Phone Spam Pattern Blocker vs Simple Call Blocker

Block entire area codes, exchanges, and spoofed number ranges with one pattern, not one number at a time. Phone Pattern Blocker uses wildcard patterns to block huge ranges of unwanted calls with a single rule. Enter a pattern like 555-123-XXXX and every number in that range is blocked: your phone won’t ring, and the caller can still leave a voicemail. OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo to see your patterns and the one you’re editing side by side. As you type, the What This Blocks panel shows how many numbers a pattern covers, its range, example numbers, and any overlap with your other patterns. Close it and pick up right where you left off. HOW IT WORKS Create a pattern using X as a wildcard digit. The app registers every matching number with the call blocking built into iOS. There’s no call monitoring: iOS quietly declines matching calls on its own, even when the app isn’t running. FEATURES • Block by area code, exchange, or any custom range • Block neighbor spoofing: calls made to look like your own number • Allow exceptions so the numbers you choose still ring • 200+ countries and regions with local number formats • iCloud keeps your patterns in sync across your devices • Browse every number a pattern will block • Import and export your patterns YOUR CONTACTS ALWAYS RING iOS never blocks a number saved in your Contacts, even if it matches a pattern. PRIVACY Your patterns are processed on your iPhone. The app can’t see your calls, contacts, messages, or call history. Crash and blocking diagnostics are shared with Apparent Logic by default to help fix problems, and you can turn this off any time in About › Privacy & Diagnostics. PRO, NO SUBSCRIPTION Block up to 5 million numbers free. Pro is a one-time purchase that raises your limit to 1 billion numbers, with no subscription.

Simple Call Blocker is a utility that lets you block unwanted calls to your iPhone. It allows you to block individual numbers, or ranges of numbers. You may also add individual numbers or ranges of numbers to the Allow List, so that they will not be blocked by this app, even if they are in the Block List. Optionally, you may also allow all of your phone's contacts. ## Does the app contain a list of known phone spammers to block? No. Simple Call Blocker does not provide or maintain a known spammers blacklist. There are several other iOS call blockers that do, which you can use for free, if that feature is important to you. You may use Simple Call Blocker in conjunction with one of those other apps to blacklist additional numbers. ## Why would I use this app? Three reasons: 1. Simple Call Blocker allows you to block a range of phone numbers, to help prevent “neighbor spam”, for free. Other apps may let you blacklist individual phone numbers, but require an in-app purchase or paid subscription to block ranges of numbers. 2. Simple Call Blocker does not collect your personal information. You do not need to provide it access to your contacts unless you wish to enable the “allow all contacts” option. In contrast, some call blockers require a subscription or even a login to their web service in order to work. 3. Simple Call Blocker is designed to be very simple and reliable. In contrast, with many call blockers, it is hard to determine how many numbers are in the blacklist, whether or not the “Call Directory app extension” is loaded, and so on. ## Privacy Policy Simple Call Blocker does not collect any of your information, period. No data within the app or accessed by the app is ever transmitted to the developer.
