iPhone: Selectively block incoming calls when abroad

Hello,


when I am abroad, I would like to block almost incoming calls from some numbers I have in my phone except some of them.


Is there a way to set that? Or is there an app available?


Thank you


IPhone second generation with iOS 26.2 on it.

Evading the Call:

Along with what has been mentioned by Lawrence Finch, you can evade the phone from ringing, though use of third party apps, such as Malwarebytes. I use it, and it blocks from even going through.


Malwarebytes Standard:

Malwarebytes Standard will evade all those potential hacking calls from even going through, and there is no VPN included, as dulled out on the bottom-left corner of the below screenshot. (VPNs commonly get n the way on Apple Devices). Of course, there is an exception list, just incase this is not the case. Learn more here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/pricing
