App to block calls outside from my country (lemmy.ml)

Do you know any application that blocks numbers outside my country? So that my phone only receives calls from numbers in my country.

At least in my country, exist a new fraud scheme in which people call me from different countries, from Europe and Africa. This has been quite annoying. And Im receiving these type of calls atleast 1 time per day.

I only find apps that say whether or not the number is fraudulent, but I don't find apps that actually block calls from numbers outside from my country. If you know some app, share it please. Thank you !

Ty very much!

P.S - like your avatar

Fairly certain Silence does allow you to block those. If not, it got plenty of other block options. And it's Free and Open Source !

I've used a bunch.

For a non-rooted phone, Yet Another Call Blocker is the best I've seen.

[–] PoorPocketsMcNewHold@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Sadly, it hasn't been updated for more than 2 years, Including the blocklist database. https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker_data It seemed to have just used the ShouldIAnswer database, which would have been my suggestion (Even if it isn't open-source and does more than just block Geo-cals)

Ty! dont know what YACB means, but know I understand.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

you should be able to do that through your network operator / service provider

[–] dez@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Didnt know about that, ty!
