Block unwanted calls with surgical precision using pattern matching. Unlike crowd-sourced blockers, Smart Call Blocker lets YOU define exactly which numbers to block using wildcard patterns. Block entire number ranges with a single rule. FEATURES: • Pattern matching — Use * as a wildcard for any digit • Block number ranges — e.g., 1900****** blocks 1 million 1900xxxxxx numbers in one rule • Background loading — Large blocklists keep loading after you leave the app, with a Live Activity on iOS 26 • SMS spam filter — The same patterns silently move junk texts from unknown senders to the Junk tab • Duplicate cleanup — One-tap removal of patterns already covered by a broader rule • 213 countries — Full E.164 international format support • Rule labels — Name each rule so you remember why you blocked it • System-level blocking — Powered by Apple CallKit PREMIUM: • Up to 7 wildcards per pattern — block a 10-million-number range in one rule (you confirm before saving) • Unlimited blocking rules • Block up to 1 billion numbers in total (free: 6 million); the real limit depends on your device • Access to all 213 countries • 136 pre-built spam templates across 25 countries • Siri Shortcuts and automation • Priority support FREE: • 5 blocking rules • iCloud Sync across all your devices • Block up to 6 million numbers • Single-country lock (your first rule's country) • Pattern matching with up to 6 wildcards (1 million numbers per rule) • Allow list and import/export • Weekly blocking report HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create a pattern using digits and * wildcards 2. Preview matching numbers before blocking 3. Enable the extension in Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification 4. All matching calls are automatically blocked — no app needed PRIVACY FIRST: • No data collected. No servers. Just your iPhone and your iCloud. • Blocking runs entirely on your device, even offline • Your patterns sync only through your own private iCloud — we never see your numbers • No tracking or analytics • No account required ABOUT OUR TEMPLATES: Smart Call Blocker ships no block list of its own and blocks nothing until you add a rule. Optional templates each cite a public warning (banks, provincial police, national press) and cover at most 1 million numbers per range around a reported prefix. You decide what to block. PATTERN EXAMPLES: • 1900****** — blocks 1 million 1900xxxxxx premium-rate numbers in Vietnam • 028399***** — blocks 100,000 numbers in a Ho Chi Minh City landline range (fixed-line numbers are 11 digits with the leading 0) • 900555**** — blocks 10,000 numbers in one US 1-900 premium-rate exchange Smart Call Blocker works at the system level using Apple's CallKit framework, so calls are blocked before your phone ever rings.
