I need to know if I can use Wildcards for phone contacts. I am getting a heart transplant and I need to be on call 24/7, but I have DND set on my
Phone at night, so I wont get any calls from anyone but my family, can I use 404******* as a contact number because the call could come from any one of 50 numbers? Thanks for all your help.
iPhone 5, iOS 6
While I find that I can type a string into a contact (which is the only way you can set something to favorites) that consists of the area code you mention and then followed by 7 asteriks *, I don't believe caller ID would identify that as a valid number.
Here's a thought.
Set up a free google voice account. Set it up to ring through to your phone.
You can set google voice to show your GV # in caller ID when someone calls it instead of the callers number.
Add a contact entry for your GV # and make sure calls from it are in the allowed list for DND.
Give the GV number to the relevant parties to get hold of you.
Then you can rest easy knowing they can call, family can call, but you won't be bothered by others.
I don't believe so, no.
Can you use Wildcards for contacts?
