Blocking numbers from certain area codes

[SC9999]

Is there anyway to block numbers from a certain area code or to block any out of area numbers?

To my knowledge no. If that was a thing spam calls wouldn't exist lol

It amazes me that this can't be done. I'm sure the technology exists.

Well phones were made for communication. Can't limit it. All we can do is reduce the amount of spam or identify it.

If anything they should make phone numberless Sim cards, to use mobile data on the go without calling benefits.

The problem is that I block the number but they call from a different one each time. Usually the same area code, though.

That's the problem we have now. Once they identify that you are associated with a phone number, they put it in a database. It's like someone checking to see if a house is vacant, if not then they keep coming back. All we can do is block and report them to prevent them or notiy others that it's a spam risk or dangerous

Google Fi provides its subscribers with free data only SIM cards. They are for use with LTE/5G tablets. The data they use is charged against the subscriber's Google Fi account.

Oooo, I like that, never knew they did that.

What's nice is that if you have an old phone you're not using anymore, you can install one of their data only SIMs in it and use it as a tablet. It's been great for navigation with Google Maps while driving cross country.
