How do I block a range of numbers on my iPhone?

Over the years I have had hundreds of calls which I block manually from call centres and scams. I’m now getting loads more – 12 today so far and it isn’t even noon, all from numbers starting 020 4572 #### where the last four digits are always different. Is it possible to block a full range of numbers instead of having to do them individually? Ie ****to *****… if it is possible I’m sure it’ll be a massive help to hundreds of people who get these spam calls constantly, it’s actually bordering on harassment! 😡

That is not a built-in feature of iPhones, but there are 3rd party apps in the app store that can do that.

As a suggestion, there is no point in blocking numbers you receive spam calls from because spammers never use the same number twice. One to consider is Number Shield: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/number-shield/id1319082167
