Hello Everyone I keep getting calls from a number 917-210 The first 6 numbers are the same but the last 4 are changing Is there anyway to Block any call starting with the first six numbers I’ve done this years ago and forgot how to do it.
I want to do this without downloading an app

I know of no way to do this directly on your iPhone. You could contact your carrier and see if they have more advanced block filtering they could use. These are most likely spoofed numbers, which are VERY difficult to get blocked.
Not on the phone, ask your carrier if they can.
The app Number Shield on the App Store ($2.99, one time) will allow blocking with wild cards. For your specific example you would enter it as 917210####. That will block 10,000 number in area code 917, exchange 210.
And it works really well.

That sounds like a good deal.
You might see if any of the third-party blocking apps in the App Store will do what you want. Note that they are generally not free.
It’s great! My wife gets 3-4 medicare fraud scam emails a day, all from the same area code, and we don’t know anyone in that area code except one business, so we whitelisted their numbers.

Something to look forward to.
