Annoying International Calls

Jamesk61 — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:17:00 GMT

Hi all, is there a way of blocking international calls on an iphone (not just rejecting them). I ask because I am getting telemarketing & spam calls on a near daily basis from the USA.

Thanks,

James

@Jamesk61

All you can do is block each number and report them as spam for investigation.

Forward the scam text or number to 7726 - It's free.

An app called Truecaller which blocks unknown no caller ID calls if you turn on the option and there are options where you can enter series like +1 and call will be blocked.

Please note that there is an app called text now which gives US virtual number and many scammers are using this so please don’t believe them and never install any desk or teamviewer kind of remote sharing apps otherwise they will steal your data and empty your bank.

BBC is running a program on this if you search on Youtube about spreading awareness about scamming, so please don’t believe scammers.
