Can a iPhone on IOS7 block calls/texts for a specific Area Code and 3-Digit prefix?

Hello All, I wanted to know if IOS7 has or would accept the settings for me to input to block an entire range of phone numbers. This is clearly from trying to block a telemarketer. In my example, The phone number starts with 714-884- then any random series of numbers. I have blocked all that have come in so far but wanted to know if I entered 714-884-xxxx or 714-884-****. Would it block all the last 4 possible combinations?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

At this time the iOS 7 call blocking does not accept wildcards. It has to identify each of the calls based on the Caller ID info. That is something you might want to provide feedback to Apple on at the feedback page, http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.
