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 !

I've used a bunch.

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

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

[-] MagneticFusion@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

probably stands for yet another call blocker

Indeed. YACB : Yet Another Call Blocker and SAI : Should I Answer

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)

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 !
