I want to block calls that start with "+" as those are usually spoofed spam calls where I am from. I don't think the default google phone app can do that unlike the miui dialer.

You can try nomorobo. It blocks spam calls before they ring on your phone, usually. I've been using it for about a year now and it works pretty good. I rarely get a spam call anymore.

That app seems to be region locked. Also it probably uses a database that checks if the number is spam or otherwise. I just need a simple prefix blocker preferably foss.
