BlockRa

Features

Block spam calls in batches with BlockRa, especially when call centers, robocallers or unwanted callers keep calling from numbers that look almost the same. BlockRa helps you create rules for exact numbers, lists, ranges and patterns, so you can block batches of similar numbers with more control. No more blocking single contacts one by one. You decide exactly what gets blocked, what gets allowed, and what simply needs a name. BLOCKING RULES * Ranges:
A Range is useful when you want to block a smaller batch of numbers between a clear start and end. Choose the base number, set the starting digits and ending digits, and BlockRa handles the interval.
>For instance, block a known business that has just 30 phone numbers * Patterns:
A Pattern is useful when many numbers share the same beginning but keep changing at the end. Choose how the number starts, then decide how many final digits should vary. This is made for bigger batches, repeated prefixes and callers that rotate through similar numbers.
For instance, block a whole call center by blocking all the numbers in their domain. ___________________ RANGE VS PATTERN Range means a specific interval. Pattern means the same beginning with changing endings. ___________________ * Single or lists:
Use a Single for one exact number. Use a List when you want to keep several saved numbers together, such as repeated spam numbers, imported contacts, delivery numbers, work lines or any group you want to manage in one place. DECLUTTER YOUR PHONE BOOK Import contacts into BlockRa, organize saved numbers and use smart suggestions to reduce duplicates, spot overlaps and find possible ranges or patterns inside the contacts you already imported. Not every useful caller needs to live in your main Contacts app. With BlockRa, you can allow and identify saved callers without overcrowding your address book. Save couriers, mailmen, delivery drivers, work numbers, service contacts, temporary numbers or recurring callers directly in BlockRa, then recognize them when they call. And yes, that can include an ex, a situationship or someone you want to identify without giving them a permanent place in your real Phone Book. BlockRa is made to block and identify the numbers you save. https://blockra.firebaseapp.com/terms
