Multiple Spam Calls!

I have been getting 1-2 calls daily from Edinburg. The numbers are always different but starts with +441., so blocking the number doesn't work. Also my number is already registered with the DNC.. but I guess that does not resolve anything...

 

Is there a way to block overseas calls? Or block numbers starting with 441?

Hi @ttelracs, I'm sorry to learn about your current situation. You may block the number just follow these steps below:

 

For iOS (Calls & SMS)

  • Tap the blue “i” info icon beside the scam caller or sender. (Additional step for SMS: Tap the name of the sender.)
  • Scroll down the contact card and tap Block this Caller.
     

For Android (Calls)

  • Open your Phone app.
  • Go to Recent Contacts. Tap the offending contact or number to block.
  • Tap Details.
  • Tap the three vertical dots, usually at your screen’s top right.
  • Tap Block Number (or Contact).

Hi @Carla_P . Sorry I just added in my message that blocking the number doesn't work because the number is ALWAYS different when they call. Is there a way to block numbers starting with a certain number?

Actually, you cannot block calls from their country code without downloading an app. But, are you using an Android phone? I read somewhere that you can block international calls from a particular country on Android, not sure if it works though.
