How to block all numbers with the same first 6 digits out of the 10 digits of a phone.
I receive over 25 calls a day from spoof numbers with my area code and first 3 digits. When I pick up there is nothing said. Just static and a short beep then it hangs up. How can I stop this. It has been happing for months.
iPhone XR, iOS 13
Thank you razmee. I do block each one. Im looking for an easy fix for neighborhood spoofing. To block all calls from the same first 6 digits as mine.

Do you have no friends in your neighborhood that will call you? Have you turned on Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown callers?
Your cell service provider may be able to block the area code/first 3 digits from your area. By the way answering the call does nothing either way, they will spoof numbers and fire out these calls regardless if they get an answer.

You'll have to block each individual number.
then stop answering the calls, once they know a live person picks up they will continue to call, as you have found out.
Trust me you are NOT alone in this, I get the porn solicitations, sometimes from computer numbers, sometimes from spoofed numbers. One of the porn ones was from a friend I have coffee with every Wednesday in his driveway. My sister got one from her Episcopal priest.
DEGGIE That was extremely helpful. Where do I send the check? LOL
VERY GRATEFUL!
