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

The last digits change. Block similar phone numbers with one rule. Ringfold helps you choose which calls to block on your iPhone. Start from a number, compare two numbers, or review numbers detected in a screenshot. PREVIEW BEFORE YOU BLOCK Block one exact number or a supported range with the same prefix and changing final digits. Compare two numbers to find the smallest supported shared pattern. See the first and last number and the count of possible numbers before saving. Templates help you choose a starting range. SCREENSHOTS AND NUMBER LISTS Choose a screenshot and review the phone numbers recognized on your device. With Pro, add selected exact numbers to a new or existing number list, even when they do not share a prefix. Lists contain the selected numbers, not the gaps between them. A single selected number can also open the rule editor: check its range before saving. Ringfold does not read your call history automatically. EXCEPTIONS, CHECKER AND CALLER LABELS Keep specific numbers as exceptions to Ringfold rules. Check a number against your saved rules. Your rule names provide caller labels where iOS displays identification; they are your labels, not a spam reputation lookup. AUTOMATIC UPDATES AFTER ACTIVATION Enable Ringfold in iPhone Call Blocking & Identification settings. After activation, saved rules, pauses, deletions, exceptions and confirmed imports update iOS automatically while the app runs. Check the update status; failed updates need attention. KEEP YOUR RULES Choose the number country independently of your iPhone region. Export rules and exceptions to Files. Preview a backup import before adding it; existing rules stay unchanged and duplicates are skipped. Undo the last deletion during your session. START FREE, ADD MORE WITH PRO One ordinary rule for an exact number or range is free. Pro unlocks multiple rules and number lists with a monthly or yearly subscription. Current prices and any available free trial offers are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel your subscription in the App Store. Rules and exceptions stay on your iPhone unless you export them. No account, ads or contact uploads. Blocking works offline after setup and a successful update. Usage analytics excludes phone numbers and rule names. A range can include wanted callers. Counts mean possible numbers, not calls stopped. Exceptions apply only to Ringfold. iOS, contacts, recently dialled numbers, other identification services and your carrier can affect blocking, labels and voicemail. Ringfold does not automatically detect every spam caller. Privacy Policy: https://katenin.dev/ringfold/privacy Terms and Conditions: https://katenin.dev/ringfold/terms
