Block numbers with same prefix on iPhone

My husband has gotten 24 calls in a week on his iPhone 13 from people wanting to sell him pain medication. The numbers are from our 408 area code followed by 709-47##. Is it possible to block all 709 numbers so he doesn’t have to individually block every number that rotates?

I recently started using Simple Call Blocker on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It's free. I only have two area code + prefix numbers blocked & seems to be working well.
