Block annoying scammers who hide behind fake phone numbers.
Do you get unwanted calls or text messages from phone numbers similar to your own? With Number Shield, block an entire group of numbers at once. Just enter a wildcard for each digit you want to block.
For example, if your number is 714-555-1234, scammers might use a number like 714-555-6789. Block all similar numbers by entering 714-555-####. Wildcards and numbers can be combined in any order you choose. Block international numbers, too!
To make sure you don't miss calls from your family and friends, phone numbers in your contacts are always allowed.
Block numbers directly from your phone's missed calls screen. Just follow these steps:
1. Tap the “ i ” button next to the missed call.
2. Tap “Share Contact”.
3. Tap “Block Similar Numbers”. (If you don't see this action, tap “Edit Actions...“ to enable it.)
4. Now you'll see the Number Shield number entry screen. Tap “Done” to block calls from similar numbers.
Please note:
• Each number pattern can contain up to 7 wildcards, and up to 50,000,000 phone numbers can be blocked.
• Blocked calls are sent directly to voice mail.
• Blocked text messages are sent to the “Junk” filter in the Messages app.
• iMessage messages are not blocked.
• When “Do Not Disturb” is enabled on your phone, calls that should be blocked may appear in your phone's list of missed calls.

Number Shield FAQ
Is Number Shield free?
Yes, Number Shield is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Number Shield legit?
🤔 The Number Shield app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Pregiero bloquear mil, 10mil o 100mil números a la vez, que contratar cualquier aplicación que disque los detecta automáticamente. Con Number Shield puedo bloquear fácilmente todos los números que empiecen de forma similar y fue el fin de las llamadas de spam
La solución
Me han estado llamando de bancos para ofrecer créditos siempre los mando al diablo pero siguen llamando y se filtra de otras aplicaciones, me di cuenta que TODOS sus números empiezan con los mismos 6 dígitos, esta app es la única que te deja bloquear por dígitos, los cambian cada 2-3 semanas pero al primero los bloqueas y Paz por semanas.
Application has bugs
Application has big bugs and the “support” just doesn’t know how to fix them. It was working fine, until I start getting a weird error. Then none of the calls were blocked and their “solution” was “please hard reset your iPhone to fix it”. Completely insane! Instead of finding the bug and fix they just send you to reset the iPhone from scratch. I deleted the application.

Funcionó bien un tiempo hasta que comenzó a mandar errores de base de datos. La “solución” que me daba su “soporte” fue un hard reset de mi iPhone en lugar de buscar corregir el bug. Pésimo soporte y mantenimiento de la app. Mejor borré la app de mi dispositivo. Además algo hizo que ya no permite funcionar otras apps parecidas. Pésima app!
Gracias
Me marca error al cargar los números...me indica lo que debo hacer... y pasa lo mismo...me abstengo de opinar y valorar...porque es un error de la aplicación...iphone 7 y acabo de actualizar el sistema...gracias.
Perfecto
Me estaban acosando bastante y a todas horas de diferentes números, pero con ésta app pude bloquear todo el rango y ya no he tenido problemas.
Have to be specific
I block numbers bc they come all from the same 3 first digits. Didn’t stop it. I had to add multiple second 3 digests. This just started happening. Worked great up until the last 8 month or so. Once politics started.
Doesn’t Work
Following the instructions, exactly it doesn’t work for messages. I can’t speak to whether or not it works with calls, but it flat out does not work with messages even with the correct masking. Utterly useless. Waste of money.
Seems great so far
Edit: Doesn’t work well for my needs. I run a small local business, and spam calls are nearly destroying my business. Problem is partially with Apple, who only allows apps like this to block 2 million numbers. Which seems like a lot, but it’s not if you need to block an entire area code, or in my case, I only want to receive local calls. These devs should have made the limits more clear before charging for this product. With that said, it’s only $3. It could be a great app if Apple would lift the restrictions, or develop something that only allows certain area codes. Until then small business is overlooked and telemarketers prevail.
Works every time
I really got tired of blocking individual spam numbers on the phone app. Now when I get a spam call from a new area code and number, I start by using the app to block the specific number and work towards the area code to stop the spamming. It works every time. I don't even know I had a call till I see the missed calls.
Stopped completely blocking calls
App used to block calls completely and you wouldn’t see any notifications at all. Now I see missed call notifications.
