Can I block an area code on my iPhone?

I lived in Arizona for 13 years. I still use that area code for my work in Virginia. In my most recent move, in changing addresses, etc. I believe my phone number was grabbed. I now get 3-5 calls a day from that Arizona area code. Literally, maybe one out of two hundred calls are legit. It's worth blocking them all.


Thank you!

iPhone 7

If they meant their AT&T “Call Protect” app, while it is valuable it too will not allow you to block an entire area code. You can only block individual numbers. Even google voice’s spam filtering has no way to filter anything like “(818)-*“ and I’ve never seen a call blocking app that allows use of wild cards in the blocked dialing string (which is essentially what you are asking for).


Sorry, but I don’t think you’re going to find a way to do that.
