Number Shield 3.2

Block annoying scammers who hide behind fake phone numbers with Number Shield.

Are you tired of receiving unwanted calls or text messages from phone numbers that look similar to your own? With Number Shield, you can easily block an entire group of numbers at once. Simply enter a wildcard for each digit you want to block.

For instance, if your number is 714-555-1234, scammers might use a number like 714-555-6789. By entering 714-555-####, you can block all similar numbers. You can combine wildcards and numbers in any order you prefer. Number Shield even allows you to block international numbers!

Ensure you don't miss any important calls from family and friends by utilizing the "Allow Contacts" option.

To block numbers directly from your phone's missed calls screen, follow these steps:

1. Tap the "i" button next to the missed call.
2. Select "Share Contact".
3. Choose "Block Similar Numbers". (If this action is not visible, tap "Edit Actions..." to enable it.)
4. You will now see the Number Shield number entry screen. Tap "Done" to block calls from similar numbers.

Please keep in mind:

• Each number pattern can contain up to 7 wildcards, and you can block up to 50,000,000 phone numbers.
• Blocked calls will be sent directly to your voicemail.
• Blocked text messages will be routed to the "Junk" filter in the Messages app.
• iMessage messages will not be blocked.
• If "Do Not Disturb" is enabled on your phone, some calls that should be blocked may still appear in your list of missed calls.
